    The Gorilla gaffer tape mod worked a treat i used the 410 with the new cane rod and no tangles behind spool, so happy to continue using at least one of these reels
  2. jules007
    Very tempted but looks like it will cost another £20 or so, as i have a pair of old tatty reels that work i just as well wait it out for them to arrive, its not exactly prime fishing time with weather as it is so just gonna have to be patient
  3. jules007
    So the reels still not shipped Gerrys list them as "in stock" but after making enquiries seems they will ship out sometime in January so clearly not in stock, wont be using this shop again as we have a different idea of what in stock means

    cant help thinking i might of got a duff roll of this, ended up giving it away and thats after getting a stripping tool, wont use it again, shame as ESP is good gear and i used to rate strip tease as best

    I get all this, im back on a club complex i fished way back in 2007-2009, i feel like im home again, just feels so right being back here but yet to catch, and its well stocked 4 acre lake with around 170 carp. I will say its really well run, as tidy as can be, proper made up being back on here

    As i no longer do over nighters just day fishing i take a flask of coffee with me but when i used to bivvy up i would have tea other than first thing in morning

    well said mr Gordan going into a big shop and looking at rods is the way forward and maybe asking for a nice new year discount, if you want cork look at Wychwood or tackle box derwent valley rods

    Hi lee, i think you could do better for less money, not really heard much about these rods, seems they are about £85 each, are you wanting cork handles, also you might be better of going 2.5lb tc

    The bespoke split cane rod i had made has arrived and i am super made up with it, this was hand crafted for me and is just a thing of beauty the Calder 'n' hebble 1lb 2oz Avon rod named after the local canal navigation i will be using it on for large Perch and smaller carp
  10. jules007
    Yeah and no big rush for them but i did order 21.12 and still not sent out
  11. jules007
    another item arrived, shame the new reels have not even shipped yet, a little disappointed with Gerrys of morcame on the reels so this is 12lb that seems to break at about 18lb
  12. jules007
    little update on the 410 reels i cut a slice (long 4mm ribbon of gorilla tape and fitted that to bottom of spool and it takes up the gap nicely, it should improve the problem
  13. jules007
    Might be right, time will tell
  14. jules007
    Yes sir those sticks and bobbins look very nice indeed

    More bait from No 10 Downing st ha ha

    My new to me custom split cane rod is now in the postal system and on its way to me, i have never used a cane rod so this is going to be a whole new experience for me, i plan to christen it on its name sake water, the Calder an Hebble navigation canal
  17. jules007
    Got a 30cm stainless buzz bar so i can splay the rod tips out, wont put any more fish on the bank, but i like the presentation, also got an NGT 5litre bait bucket

    I did enjoy the new Hearn video, i do get what you guys are saying, but im glad we still getting new content from the legend
  19. jules007
    got a few pairs for xmas from good lady will see how they pan out
  20. jules007
    Yeah seems very good kit, funny enough i have ordered it in 12lb BS as tackle box claim it has a real BS of around 18lb, i would of used the NGT camo 18lb as it has a low diameter but its not abrasion resistant at all unlike Hydro tuff, also i wanted to keep line diameter as low as sensible as i now fish this lovely snaggy lake pretty close in
  21. jules007
    As i have a pair of new reels on the way seems wrong to load cheap line on them so as im mot casting any big distance and the lake is a hell hole of snags makes sense to get a spool of Hydrotuff and just go for a decent line from the start
  22. jules007
    Got a set of bobbins turn up today not branded but look okay also a new DNA Beanie unhooking mat arrived scored it new on fleabay for £12 plus a bit of post and its mint, just perfect
  23. jules007
    Cant miss out on "Old friends" a true classic video
  24. jules007
    Cheers framey, i have found it to be decent kit at sensible money, in some ways i dont want to retire my old 850`s got a fair bit of history in those reels, so it only seems right to at least stick with same brand
  25. jules007
    I finally made the decision DAM have been very good for me, so gone for these 8000 pit reels, TBH they should see my carp fishing days out https://www.gerrysfishing.com/product/quick-darkside-4-8000s-carp-reel/
