Hello plastic, metal and latex fetishist's. 😉😁 After a new reel for Jax. Her diawa sweepfire (?) Has developed an alarming handle wobble. After something sub £100 that will hold 150yds of 20lb braid and cope with working lead heads of upto 100g and cranking cods over rough kelpy ground. Ideally...

Ok, this is probably a really dumb question, but.... What direction of the mag control increases or decreases the braking effect? Clockwise says more and anticlockwise says less. But, is that less or more breaking or less or more spool speed? Sorry to be so dumb but I only use nobby or slidy...

Fished the end of the power station concrete rd at Dungeness this afternoon with Jax. Just the one rod each, Jax using a zziplex v Max F1 and penn fathom 12 , myself, a daiwa Moonraker supreme and daiwa 7600. Rigs were size 1, 2 hook flappers. Bait was frozen black lug. Fish were caught at all...

Hello. One is after some information. If I was to venture to Scotland (I've put west coast as you have to use a prefix 🙄)instead of Norway for a week's fishing, where would you recommend? As Jax would be joining me, easy access marks would be preferable and target species would be cod, haddock...

Wednesday night: Perfect tide Perfect weather pattern Perfect bait I took the walk to my favourite ever cod mark full of excitement and anticipation. Plan executed with a live bait rig on rod 1 and 4/0 pennell on rod 2. Baits for both were wrapped blacks, pumped Sunday evening. Needless to say...

First fresh water session for a very long time. Just missed the 1st run🙄

Just heard that century have agreed to take on the zziplex brand. Any one with more information?

Just packing up after an hour's fishing over the road. 2 eels and 2 school bass. All on frozen black lug.

Hi everybody! I've gone all retro. Does anyone know where I can get a screw in butt guide for a Brent 12ft surf caster? Thread size looks like m4 but I'm guessing it will be an imperial equivalent. Thank you 👍

Last week Darren and I decided to have a try for a sole at a local shallow low water mark. This was after an unsuccessful attempt at galloways the previous weekend where we were attacked by killer whiting. Well, we failed. The whiting were there in their millions. To prove a point, I waded 5...

My last 2 ray trips have totally messed up my average and thus I needed a plan to put things right. Forsaking my normal hotspot and chasing the tide out and it chasing me in, I headed a couple of miles further East. With the beach to myself I set up close to where I had parked, tackled up and...

Bit of a late report. Last Thursday I fished the West bay Dungeness in search of spiky sea rats. 8/0 & 6/0 pennels baited with half mackerel or whole squid were flicked 20 yds into the surf. As they were large baits I kept rebaiting to every half hour. To be honest, I was not expecting lots of...

Decided on a spur of the moment session chasing thornback rays on Thursday evening. Arrived to find only one other angler on the beach. Conditions were perfect. I quickly tackled up only to find one of my reels had broken ☹️ Having foolishly not bought a spare, it was cable ties to the rescue...

Where to start? Its been so long since Jax and I returned from Norway that compiling some kind of report is going to be difficult. I made a few notes whist there but about halfway through my writing mojo abandoned me so I will have to rely on my ever-failing memory. I wont recount every session...

I have recently been given some old rods and reels. A Daiwa Moonraker Superb An Abu mag Penn squidder And finally a rod of unknown make but is fitted with a genuine fugi reel seat and BNHG guides the label/sticker is still there but un readable:( Can anyone shed some light on them? I.e, were...

A change of venue tonight for Darren and I. Instead of our usual ray venue we opted for a change. Still in with a very good chance but more often it's less fish but a bigger general size. Started the evening with a gentle off shore breeze as forecast. However, within 20 minutes the rain arrived...

Another quick session locally chasing thornback rays. Fished 7,45 to 10,15 this evening. Managed 8 and some dogfish. My mate Darren had 6 rays and a lot of dogfish. Didn't photo every one as the action was quite hectic!

Just a thought. With rovex 10x seemingly unavailable, what line have 10x users moved onto?
