I'd like to, but have a feeling if I went out after dinnner, I'd get lynched. Especially after asking to be driven to the beach because I've had a few beers :ROFLMAO:

Some proper lumps there, did you weigh any of them?

I think my mind is made up, Cabo it is then. Cheers folks (y)

Great fish, well worth the effort (y)

Signed

Is yours one of the newer ones, made in China? I'm not bothered where it's made really, just as long as it's still a good reel.

@Craig Just general light fishing really. Mackerel, bream, plaice, that sort of thing. Thought I'd give the spinning rod a rest and buy something just for that job. Saw a good deal on a Penn Battalion and thought why not.

Anyone got anything good to say about them? I'm thinking of getting one to use on a 12lb boat rod, either the 40 or the 50 size. They were totally redesigned the reel in 2015 and I'm wondering if the PTSE version is as good as the old PTSD version. If not, I'll probably buy a Penn Spinfisher if...

North East Tackle Supplies have them for under £150 at the moment (y) Penn Spinfisher VI 7500 Longcast

Warm water and fairy liquid, then rinsed off. Don't see the point of sprays or waxes.

Spinfisher 7500 Longcast I use a pair on my AFAW GB FS PRO's, loaded with 25lb mono on both. Good reels, not the lightest but will wind in several tons of weed at Hurst Shingle Bank without breaking a sweat :ROFLMAO: I wouldn't use them for plaice fishing though ?

I've got 3 brand new Penn Regiment(not Mk2) boat rods in heavy duty cordura tubes that I'm never gonna use, if you're interested. I bought them and then a few days later saw the Penn Battalion boat rods on offer so I bought 3 of those as well. The Regiment rods are the American spec version...

Have you tried pop up beads?

I sometimes use Flouro snoods on 3 hook flappers with small hooks, targetting sole or dabs. Otherwise I use Amnesia.

I'm dreading summer where I live. We're gonna have hundreds of thousands of dickheads down here again like last year, clogging our roads and littering our beaches ?
