    Use a swivel or if not wanting to heat the hook use a split ring.

    Guide wraps for Zziplex and Conoflex.

    Most of the conoflex beach casters I remember from the eighties had Fuji guides with the green between the frame and inner ceramic, think they were bnhg ? And many had black whipping with green tipping to match the guides.

    Baiting up worms for long distance fishing...

    I've started keeping a small bucket of water and towel with me and wash and dry my hands after baiting up. Used to just use a towel for years but got fed up with always having a stinking towel when I got home .

    Baiting up worms for long distance fishing...

    Don't completely cover the bait in it just spiral wrap like elastic so the bait can break down releasing scent . Crabs and small nuisance fish will tear it apart but any residue left when reeled in is easier to remove than bait elastic.

    New lure reel

    I've had both in 2500 , at first the vanford felt better being lighter and smoother from the off but the more I used the Penn the more I liked it as it loosened up and I started to prefer the extra weight in my hand it felt far more robust and the vanford started to feel flimsy so I sold it on...

    PVA tape works just as well for sea fishing as it does for carp angling.

    No it was three degrees and an easterly wind, that and the fact the only fish being caught recently are dogs and straps so couldn't be bothered.

    Strange thing re the costs and imported guides/reel seats, carbon etc as daiwa top end rods are still made in Scotland and the tournament pro is fitted out with Fuji guides and reel seats and even though I've been a fan of zziplex and century the daiwa build quality is up there with them and can...

    Which Am I right in thinking the only current models with decent bite detection are the xt435gt and the x-gt 14 ? Think both the lite and super lite both have carbon tips and despite the lite in the name are still very powerful rods as the xt part refers to extreme tournament.
