I did watch most of it but just missed the last 20 minutes or so, you just have to make the most of nap times when you get them 😂
-
Yeah same these days, some of it may be good but I never really want to find out, I've been tempted by a bush whacker a few times though. I've got one of those reels, I don't rate them tbh, I don't like the double handles and the line lay isn't the greatest, I was a little disappointed with the quality of it overall, but it works and for the amount it gets used I can't be bothered to change it. -
Spoiler alert 😳😬🤣
-
I watched that earlier, but missed the end cos I had a nap 😂

I have a 6000 shimano baitrunner on my 7ft rod and it feels fine, they might be slightly big for 6ft Rods but I cant help thinking you will outgrow those pretty quickly and want some longer rods, The 55 sized custom black would also be good, that has a 15kg drag which would handle the job nicely, the 8k has an 18kg drag and they will handle anything, they might be a good choice for you.

My post might make more sense when the 1st part of it is approved 😳
-
Also I've had some regal BR in the past, they won't be as good as the okuma. And okuma have a 5yr warranty.
-
Sure will get it at some point matey, just keep at it.
-
I don't trust Nash products personally, I once owned a titan that fell apart, I would think of the okuma ones you mentioned the LS-6k will do the best job for you, it will also give you a bit of space if you decide you need a pair of bigger rods
-
Which ones have you been looking at?
-
Good luck Kev, hope you get your prize
-
This might be a decent reel for you. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/okuma-ls-6k-baitfeeder-reel?srsltid=AfmBOoohGn5-h9uyERsp47cwbbqrVhCPxTGbTBfejT41xWi-87nfrw0Br50#

If I was you, I wouldn't go too small on the reels as match reels, small feeder reels won't have man enough drag capability to catch carp and they will soon wear out, also they aren't made for carp strength lines so the line lay will be horrible. Personally i would go for something okuma they are much better made than most cheaper end reels.
-
I do think that has changed a lot these days fish safety is pretty paramount in most modern carp fishing videos, I also think if people see slightly dodgy practices it will be a good discussion starter.
-
That's why I thought a seperate section might be useful it would make it easier to find any boat/tech based topics and tech and would help the forum get thrown up more on Google searches, which would lead to more traffic for the site.
-
I would like to think we have a responsible membership here that wouldn't promote unsafe videos though. Also they can be removed if they violate this
-
centre pin reels for carp?
elmoputney replied to jules007's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
@bluelabel I believe this is your specialist subject. -
This could also be utilised as a boats and tech section for other things like drones, sonar, fishfinders etc Like it loathe it, it's here to stay and anglers talk about it all the time.
-
There is some great vids out there tbh, I follow a guy who makes his own hydrolysates and stuff, his vids are good.
-
You could probably just change the title that topic hasn't had a post in 3 years, might freshen it up. And breathe some life Into the place. Videos and YouTube links Would be a good title
-
I think a section might encourage more members to post about them and bait boats have more specific and varied issues than rods or reels, I think it might encourage new members or maybe some of the more technical members to post again.
-
I think it might help encourage more members to post and make threads and would encourage discussions and get more interaction on the forum, if there were a dedicated section for them.
-
It's a good idea we still have a DVD review section, and who can remember those things?
-
I think it would be good idea to have a section of the forum where people post links to good you tube videos they have recently watched.
-
You might need to peg a card to the back wheel to give you that go faster sound.
