    What drill the bait out and stick some foam/cork in it? I wonder if you could just use a piece of on the rig instead of putting in it, like they do on a zig rig? 🤔

    I use a piece of zig foam for this, all I do is cut a piece just big enough to pop up the pop up to were I want it and screw that onto the bait screw first followed by the pop up, this works perfectly for me. 😁👍🎣

    We shall see there are lots of nice ones to go for still in there, just nice to be catching, I still think a 20 is a big fish I just want to try and be consistent now and keep catching hopefully get a 30 whilst I'm at it, 😁

    Thanks, I am quite happy today 😁 hopefully your turn will Come soon 👍

    Hopefully I'm fishing Monday but my club are still not allowing nights on there waters, so it's a day session only for me but I will make it a long one. I'm going to take my surface gear and have a go for them off the top, I've not caught one of the top for years. Should be fun and make a change. 🙂👍🎣

    Cheers mate... 1st time out since march... felt good to get a bend in the rod again

    I'll bet it did, I've not been fishing since March myself, i was supposed to be out myself this weekend but I ended up self isolating since last Saturday my wife tested positive for covid19, thankfully she is over it now but scary times mate. I've got another 6 days self isolation, so it's going to be next weekend before I get out fishing. 🙂👍

    Don’t thank me Yet it might not be it lol
    tbh I don’t think there is much to a reel so it can’t be a lot 

    It's only one out of three spools and it's the one I had soaking in water. Do you think with me having submerged in water that could of caused the problem? it was ok before I put it in the water.   🙂👍

    Possibly needs a bit of grease on the washers ?

    or maybe there’s Grit or dirt or something in the cap somewhere

    You were right framey once I worked out which washers you were talking about I'm not really that clued up on reels. The washers were a bit dry so i've ordered some washer grease off the bay this morning, 

    Thanks very much for your help framey. 🙂👍

    Yes mate no  problems with that. I think framey might be right I think it's the washers in the spool cap. I think because I left the spool soaking in  water I might of done something to the washers, I'm going to strip the spool tomorrow and check them. I've tried my spare spool again and it isn't as bad. I'm also  going to have a look at my other reel to compare them. 🙂👍

    I've actually tried a couple of spare spools that I have and they are the same. Do you mean the washers on the shaft? They do seem to be pretty well greased up already,  the reels aren't that old, they are out of warranty though. Thanks for your reply. 🙂👍

  20. Daiwa reel problem.

    I was wondering if one of you knowledgeable lads can help me out. I've got a problem with one of my Daiwa crosscast 5000 qda reels. I reversed the line on the spools today instead of changing it all, I soaked the spools in water for 20 minutes and then just wound  the line onto the spare spool. The first one was fine, when I did the second one exactly the same procedure I come to put the spool back on the reel and the qd isn't working properly, it does loosen but it isn't free running as it should be 😥. Anybody got any ideas to what it could be?

    Thanks Keith. 🙂👍

    I struggled to find any reviews before I posted this. Thanks for the info that's really helpful. Any recommendations on decent hangers haha?

    Esp barrel bobbins, excellent bobbins, 2 length of chains, 2 different types of line clips and adjustable weights. I've been using these for around three years now, as i said these are excellent bobbins imo. 🙂👍20200516_100930.thumb.jpg.f8579c427ff9baa1f3c661d7b58861f6.jpg

    Just released you wanted hangers not bobbins. 🤪

    Gardner Pro

    This is also my choice of line for my carp fishing in 15lb. I used diawa sensor brown 15lb for years and then I read about the pro on here some were and thought I'd give it a try and imo I think it's excellent line, it covers everything i need in my fishing.🙂👍

    Don’t suppose you took a photo inside the brolly so I can see how much room you have 

    I'm afraid not mate but  i will next time I use it, when ever that's going to be. 

    I will say one thing though i was surprised how much room there was more than I'd imagined. 🙂👍
