Yeah it came with pelletizer I thought it sounded like a good additive, I would have upgraded to the boosted one but it wasn't in the deal, I thought 30 delivered was a pretty good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 she's arrived and on charge looking forward to going out just exploring, be up the canal at knowle this afternoon for a testing. wouldn't be the decent thing to do going mapping lakes at the weekend. dalej2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpbell_ll Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 all i can say is wow, went to the canal and easily found the gully at the edge to the inch in depth as the canal just starts to shallow there is a slight gully dip, went over to barston just on the little lake and had a look around the pond lily pads, same again you can get the spot for being on the very edge of the stems no messing, which is what i want it for to help find the clearer bits in and around the weed patches.

dalej2014 Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Finally bit the bullet and ordered some flourocarbon line. Since Nick rates it highly I'e gone for the mist green flouro stuff. Had to order from Europe since the diameter I wanted I couldn't find in the UK. The Synchro XT has only been on the reels for a season, and did me well. No hook pulls, line breaks or any issues, other a bit of twist when dry. I may off spool it for re-use in the future. Highy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
