    Advice New Mono advice .35

    I like the use of braid on my FS for lure fishing. Had a bad experience with braid on a larger spool once and has put me off using it since, never say never and with the development of these new braids things might be different these days 🤔🤔🤔

    Advice New Mono advice .35

    As we tend be creatures of habit I currently use a 20lb mono main line @.40 to fish over clean/mixed ground using FS. I'm thinking of going down to 18lb @.35/37 just to have a smaller diameter line and possibly adding a few extra yards on the cast without compromising to much much on strength 💪...

    Advice Penn v Shimano

    I agree with you on this one do those £1000 reels give you £800 more value than a £200 reel. If so what does that £800 offer ??

    Advice Penn v Shimano

    Like you all my lure fishing reels are all Shimano. I was just wondering has the gap closed between the market leaders such as Shimano and are you now mainly paying for the brand name as such🤔🤔

    Advice Penn v Shimano

    In the past I've always tended to use Shimano FS reels I don't tend to spend more than £200 on a reel for beach casting. In that price bracket who are now producing the better products Penn or Shimano?
