    Penn mag 4 reel

    It's quite likely that stem on which the star wheel sits has either cross threaded or stripped. That would be my first port of call. Don't think it would be drag washers.

    Newer Rod Brands.

    Yeah, my mate had them for using on the Bristol channel, think i replaced them with either AFAW Match pro's or mk1 Tournament match's, since sold the Match pro's but kept the Tourny match's as they were rebuilt with titanium guides

    Newer Rod Brands.

    Liked the Zulcrons, had a pair of the match's, wouldn't say there a beach rod or a match rod but they came into there own off my local rock marks ! good lifting rod as well !

    Newer Rod Brands.

    Like many on here I too have had used many many rods, I have never been a fan of Zipplex, had around 6 different models (gets expensive when you purchase in pairs) and remained totally unimpressed with them, particulary the actions of the rods, all felt like casting with the butt section and...

    Anyone still catch shore plaice in Cornwall?

    It's getting harder and harder to find plaice, I usually fish the St Ives area for Plaice (mainly to the west of Porthmeor) best fishing has all but disappearred, but still one or two about but not the size they once were, my PB is a couple ounces shy of 5lb but this was a good few years ago, a...

    TronixPro rods?

    I've heard of the Kona rods, they have a tip to die for , absolutely brilliant rods, nearly had one but the shop owner decided to have it himself !

    Akios nitron F15 xp.

    Back to the Nitron's, I have a pair of the XP ones and find them a big improvement on the red one's , which were terrible, they cast well and have a much better retrieve than the originals, the XP's seem to be made much better than than the red ones and the gearing seems to mesh better unlike...

    Tronix Pro 6500 Mag

    Anyone tried the newer Banzai ? monomag, one piece frame, slower retrieve which interests me as I would think it would make the retrieve more powerful, got plenty Abu's, Diawa's and especially Akios multi's, just interested in these because of the gear ratio - 4.4:1

    Akios Shuttle 656 STR KURO

    Not as nice to use as the standard chrome shuttles, side by side the chrome one seem better quality, don't think they have any advantages over normal brass gearing either

    Weight for it weight away.

    Very rarely cast more than 150gm weights , have used 6oz for some venues but not often, if there's a tidal run I just drop line diameter, keeping same breaking strain, and cast up tide, works for me, getting way to old to go lobbing cannon 🐚 shells
