Woke up this morning dying from man flu...debating whether I should still go fishing or not lol

Had a dose of that myself Saturday afternoon, cold sweat, headache and generally feeling like I have been hit by a bus.

Nasty, couldn't fish through that!!!

Mate has 3 Nash BP10 reels pretty decent near mint condition...he been out n bought 3x Nash dwarf rods....he says his BP10 reels dont fit....

So would i swap my 2 Dwarf BP6 reels plus some cash for his 3 BP10 reels...

Thoughts please...as too me...dawrf bp6 reels look nearly harder to find these days.

I have nash bp 4 all black - played a fish of 23lb and ounces on a dwarf 6ft 2lb rod with ease. 

I also have 2 nash bp 6 all black with 2 scope sawn off rods in 3lb that I’ve not had chance to use yet. 

As for the the bp 4 never been a problem for me smooth, casts well, retrieves line well,  looks nice.....does it’s job.  So I guess everyone has had different experiences with them but like the shimmy daiwa debate. 

Also have shimmy cats 5500’s and 14000’s and love them I’d recommend any of the reels I have  dependant on people’s budgets

I know a chap in Bedfordshire who is a member !

Quite a lot of game only waters and I seem to think he had to wait a while for full membership.

Some stunning places and well worth a look.

Cheers

Doubt it will even happen mate.

If it does then just learn a bit of French and put some onions round your neck.

I'm no expert mate but I think you will have to have the ring replaced. I don't think you can just replace the inserts. 😞

Your local tackle shop should be able to get it done for you, if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me. 👍

I've just had a quick search on the net and the answer that keeps coming up is that the inserts are pressure fitted at the manufacturing stage, they can be refitted but normally it's is just a temporary fix, your better getting a new eye fitted. 

So in away we're both right, not bad for non experts 😂👍

If you do have a go and you manage to get it back in, from what I read your better putting a few drops of liquid super glue in that will help hold it in place. 👍

But I'd do a bit of research first mate you may pick up some tips on getting it back in. 👍

Is it a new rod or still under warranty, could you not return it for a new one or have it repaired? 👍

I took mine in the tackle shop and it was quite inexpensive and quick @Highy . I picked the rod back up same day 

Did they fit a new insert or new ring?
