  1. Thanks. I will keep this in my little book of handy ideas. Les
  2. Good idea, never thought of that and it’s so simple.
  3. I’ve just done both reels with 1000m Korda 15lb and got a bit left over. I used the uni knot on bot my reels. I was surprised how easy the knot was to make.
  4. Thanks for the calculator I’ve had a look at the calculator which works out at 421m per spool. I could get both of my spools filled with the 1000m spool. Les
  5. Thanks for that. I must admit, when looking at that knot I thought it looked a bit bulky. The Okuma has a line capacity of 0.35/ 550. My line is 0.40 spool size 1000m. Which I suspect means I will either need to use some backing or buy another spool. Les
  6. I have finally got my new Okuma 8k reels, I have now to fill them with line. What is the best way to start it off, is it knot the line or using a knot. If the latter what knot would you use? Les
  7. I’ve had a look at both today. It looks like the Okuma as the only one they had was the owner of the shop. He s going to ring me when he can get one in. I must admit they both look good, the reason I went for the Okuma was the price.
  8. Thanks for that I’m going to have a look today. I am thinking more on the lines of the Okuma 8k.
  9. Thanks for the link I will have a look.
  10. I’m looking for a couple of reels and the Aerlex 14000 ATC looks like a decent reel. It is at the top of my budget £120. What other reels would people suggest at or below this price.
  11. I must admit one of the things I miss since is wind ups. After 40 years in total in the Army and Prison service where wind ups were a daily incurrence.
  12. Thank you. I’ve had a general look around and like the look of it. I’m sure that I will gain a lot of useful information.
  13. I am returning to Carp fishing (at 76)after quite a few years. I will no doubt have a lot of questions on different subjects.
