I use these for my caravan awning. I bought them from Aldi £10 for 10 you get the the drill attachment with them. It’s a lot quicker and less noisy than hammering pegs in.

Thanks. I will keep this in my little book of handy ideas. Les
-
Good idea, never thought of that and it’s so simple.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Thanks for that I’m going to have a look today. I am thinking more on the lines of the Okuma 8k.

Thanks for the link I will have a look.

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.

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.
-
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.

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.
