    Certainly sounds like it

    Don’t thank me Yet it might not be it lol tbh I don’t think there is much to a reel so it can’t be a lot

    Possibly needs a bit of grease on the washers ? or maybe there’s Grit or dirt or something in the cap somewhere

    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
  6. framey
    That will be fine

    , Mahn knot, back to back grinner Some do an albrite knot about 1.5 x rod length plus 4 or 5 turns on the reel

    Fast,compound, semi stiff, parabolic, Through.To many variations so I use that terminology as most can understand them even the wife lol

    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.

    There are all one and the same apart from the material used. you can make a longer D by just whipping down towards the bend with more turns

    How long is your leader?

    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

    That is all you need or you could buy a tapered leader

    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

    The Nora Rig

    framey replied to crusian's topic in UK Rig Tying

    No reason why you shouldn’t try to tie it at least, it might suit your fishing. don’t go and buy anything you haven’t got as it will be a waste of money for 1 rig lol

    This is all opinion though
