Could ask to post?

Oh wow I have thumb aches scrolling looking for this thread as couldn’t remember what it was called! Anyway...... came across this ad don’t know if it’s what you was looking for but..... Hi, look what I've just found on Shpock - the boot sale app, I thought you might like it: https://en.shpock.com/i/WrFn3FER800XDZ04/?lft=

I can’t make a comparison as I haven’t used the daiwas, but would it not make more sense to compare the 5500xtd against the daiwa 5000....or am I missing something (wouldn’t surprise me 😂)

Why on earth would you do such a thing......feeling a little enlightened are we bigtrev?

£1 fee’s this weekend 😉 no time like the present to sort that shed

Ebay 272755494974 not much cheaper but sub £20 183184835538 just over £15

222860155443 thats the ebay item number for your exact reel last one though so I’d not wait around if it’s what you’re looking for 😉

Greekskii has made a couple of valid points above mate, and if it makes you feel any better my 18m purpose made jobby is a bit unruly at full stretch so I thinks you’ve done a great job 👌🏻

That’s that idea down the drain then 😝 I think the plastic conduit may be worth a shot.....I may borrow some from work and give it a try and report back if I get chance

I think this answers your own question mate, staying mobile would be mat only for me

😂🤣 and I’m an ac fitter and use it for it’s designed purpose.....condense drains from the ac unit to the pump (so its 100% safe for water as it has water running through it all day everyday) we glue it together using couplers......not sure if the couplers would stay together for the use you’re intending without glue but could be worth a shot.

We use 21.5mm black plastic conduit at work and I believe it’s about £3 per 3m length mate if that helps

Yes. There is a video online somewhere of Gary bayes talking about the nash bait and saying “expose it to water/moisture and leave it and see what happens

Cheers 😉

Don’t suppose you have a link mate? I juat typed nash skinlink & nash skin link into ebay and doesn’t seem to bring anything up apart from armorlink as a close result

Very interesting reading lads 👌🏻

Only used it in one session so far mate, on boreham mere, straight up the side of a set of pads purely for baiting accuracy. If it’s the water I’m thinking of you won’t need to worry about pads I’ve not seen any on there in two seasons as for weed.....now that’s another story! Maz for the over head branches.....now you know why I switched to scopes 😉 I think it was money well spent mate, all of the joints are reinforced obviously I can’t give to much of an in depth review as a) I’m rubbish at them and b) I have only used it once. Happy with it so far though. I’m sure that’s correct mate, only thing I’ll point out is the cygnet is only 12 meters vs the corus 18 meters, the cygnet is pole only whereas the corus comes with float and spoon . Also the cygnet extension pieces are in my opinion rather expensive and I think would take you way past the £150 mark to reach the same length as the corus

That corus one is the one I have mate, if you want to take a look have a feel you know where I am 😉

That is mr Edmonds himself casting the 10ft scope prototype :- * not sure of test curve though

A) I didn’t pay £170 😉 b) I believe the snapping only affected the mk 1 rods ive Not seen anything relating to the mk2’s snapping c) did you see terry Edmonds reviews of them and how far he cast with them? I am not overly familiar with terry but I do know he’s a machine and can cast some serious distance (over 200yds with a scope prototype) either way each to his/her own I suppose, and can fully understand where you are coming from.....no doubt if I had read all the bad reviews I would have given them a wide birth but they perform fine for me and that’s all I can base my opinion on 😁

Yes mate mk2 10ft 3lb cork handles, edit:- also have a 10ft 2.75lb shrink handle 2x 6ft 3lb cork handle sawn offs and 1 x 6ft 2lb dwarf.......and plenty of other nash gear ( to much if you asked the missus🤣😂)

Nash do one that fits your description perfectly it’s called the “Nash black ops Patrol pack” I have one, you can fit plenty in it plus fit an extensive amount of outer pouches to the webbing if you so wish, it also has buckle fastening to attach the “Nash flat mat” i haven’t had any issues with mine at all and had it for two seasons out in all sorts of conditions. Obviously take notice of what others have said re quality as they obviously have personal experience using it and make your own mind up 😁

I have mk2 scopes and loves them, plenty of deals to be had on scope rods if you look about mate.

I have scopes of various varieties/lengths and have the skins/bags to match, nice and easy to carry with comfortable padded straps and the reel compartments are well padded along with a padded rod divider, may be worth checking out ebay/gumtree/ Shpock as they come up regularly in New and used conditions far cheaper than buying new.

I’d take a mooch up and see if there is any info on the entrance/gate as a first port of call, providing you’re not trespassing to do so I can’t see any harm in it
