Can you get spares / get them repaired anymore ? , only it was a beautifully sensitive reel . 😃 Hi Crucian. I had a dig through my box of totally knackered fishing reels but could only find an Intrepid Regent and Intrepid Deluxe. You are welcome to them if you think they might contain the bit you need. They are all very similar so you could be lucky. I have a friend travelling to UK next Wednesday if you are interested. crusian, carpyian, B B and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is lovely tbh all the pins are level and straight, I did look into making my own, but quite frankly I think it would've been poor in comparison as I can't weld so would've been an abomination with ductape and shoddy ness 😁 Actually for £31.99 posted I didn't think it was bad value as it should last a lifetime Also I watched the vid and the dude did seem to be able to chuck it quite far, if I can get to nearly 20m I can do some good work with it, and clear some nice spots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
finchey 937 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) I'm fishing tomorrow and I just realized my rod licence runs out today, so I just bought my new rod licence. it's so easy online now, much more convenient than having to go to the post office or fishing shop like you had to many years ago. 😁👍🎣 Edited July 25, 2020 by finchey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Minimum.... Maybe a 36hr... With it being a copolymer line to it should be a good line, good sinking ability, good resistance. Not bad for £14.

Carpbell_ll 664 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 You should mention that blue dye stuff to the fishery owner Elmo it don't just keep the weed down it also prevents summer blooms and oxygen crashes plus the fish really do start feeding hard on the deck even on hot days. http://bluelakedye.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
