Castaway. Or maybe not ….

[Silverstone]

I may have mentioned I have not beach fished for a number of years

 

[tdxs133pm]

i was using the berkley trigger thing.

Never heard of one of those mentioned before.Do you mean Breakaway Cannon.

 

[Valleyboy]

Yes that’s what was called either way I could not get on with it .

maybe if I could have used my thumb it could of worked but where it has to be located. And seen o lot on YouTube where to fit it I could reach with a finger but to far away for my thumb to be comfortable .

I don't get on with the cannons. Try a Breakaway thumb button. They work far better for me. Everything feels much more natural

Posted on your other thread. Anglers Den in the south do casting lessons. Probably worth the trip in your camper.

Looks a better option for me this is fitted where Level with the reel spool or can it be lower .

its been a while since I was last beach fishing.
at the time a long rod was 13 foot. Now there 15 foot .

just very rusty and a lot older now .
i will without doubt get back in the swing as they say.

It can be a bit lower,

So, looking at it, you need a wide berth on the beach when casting then..

I've never used my thumb to cast a FS.

I never use a fs for beach casting.

Each to their own.
I have a few multipliers that I will up grade later when l really get back into it …

Mine work just fine Sonar, why should I change?

 

[flappy]

Multipliers just sound so complicated and hard to maintain.. my fixed spools are twenty five years old.. never been cleaned or oiled.. and they still work fine.

Have you tried fishing with them? Multies are not difficult to maintain imo.

 

[JLD]

I'm with Beach, FS for spinning reels but multi for beach and rocks. If you set them up properly then they are pretty trouble free.

 

[Beach]

I can’t think of a single reason .
people use what there comfortable using …

I have been using them since the early 60's only upgraded over the last 10 years, it pays to clean & maintain them after each session. The same with all reels whether fs or multies.

I've got 2 unused "Hens Teeth".

Poingdestres angling centre.

What did you put in to find it? I have just looked through loads of pages and can't find one

 

[Thrasher]

more here. They are about all over the internet shops. Not quite as hard to find as Hens Teeth but will be soon ..

Not what Valley is looking for.
