I still have an old school north western net 36” arms probably get good money for it on the old school pages lol
i just use a cheap korum 2 piece in normal circumstances as it’s only a net and sits on the ground 99.9% of the time or shoved in bushes
sod buying expensive ones anymore
The esp ones are good
I use the Gardner bugs myself but have different things for different situations
like solid Swing arms if it’s windy to cut out false beeps
And differnet types of chain or Dacron
different bobbin for different weights as well
Do you not turn the head to loose the grip on the line like most others?
*just checked no adjustment *
the reviews are not very good highlighting the same problem
It’s not the test curve of the rod it’s the action you need to consider
you can get a baggy 3.5lb test curve and a tighter 2.75lb test curve and the 3.5 will be better to play on than the 2.75 but the 2.75 will cast further than the 3.5.
I know you are supposed to need a license to fish in the sea in Spain and the Spanish islands.
most get away with it but my luck I wouldn’t lol
the license place is in Tenerife (from memory) but there is a guy who lives there that Will sort the license out for you that seems to come highly recommended.
will try and find his details as I was going to do it for the next time I go to Gran Canaria
I used to use 8lb nylon with a leader of 50lb years ago and ever had a problem as the leader takes the shock of the cast not the mainline
With 25lb braid as there is no stretch in it I would add a leader minimum 40lb preferably 50lb as a spod could weigh somewhere between 5 or 7 oz. giving it the buggun will cause issues.
Make sure your cast is smooth and not snatchy
The blue lens are great for sea fishing abroad where they have clear water
i still have a pair of optic somewhere might have to find them out for the rivers
I think you may struggle to get anything any good for that value
especially 3 of them
the jrc radar get good reviews as do some of the sonics
you could also look at the Nash s5r
