    At last

    Left mine at FF our am yesterday (Chichester) intending to go Chesil but the roads were clear so went to branscombe. Stopped off to or a long breakfast and started fishing at nine am and by three pm was looking at a blank. My mate who had come with me was also blanking but it was hot and sunny...

    The Rocket Reel Company.

    Which I already have and have been using recently. Maybe I should hang on to the 7ht mags as I've heard they are about to be discontinued.

    In that case it will rule them out.

    The Rocket Reel Company.

    The retrieve on the fathom 12 is quicker and they feel more robust and I like the ratchet on them so I can back the drag off and get the audible warning when a hound takes the bait which is probably why I'm using them over the 7 ht mags. The Rocket reel looks as though it doesn't have a ratchet...

    The Rocket Reel Company.

    Two or three times a year, I've been going two or three times a week for the last six weeks and probably doing sixty notes a week in bait . Keeping it in perspective I very rarely drink but know many that spend that on Friday night drink.

    The Rocket Reel Company.

    £524 without the gold bling and the spec suggests a pair would outlive me if I like them but then if I don't they would be sold on fairly soon. Only used the 7ht mags twice and although they do everything I want from a clean ground reel I'm just not liking them as much as my very old original...

    The Rocket Reel Company.

    Anyone here own any of this companies reels ? Especially interested in the top spec 6500, are they a tournament reel or strong and reliable distance fishing reel ? Specs suggest they should be a very good clean to mixed ground reel but not sure about the bearings or if the mag is powerfull...

    PENN Tidal XT

    Great reel so far, build quality feels as good as my Shimano technique mgs xt's but Penn is heavier but that probably helps balance a powerful beach rod better. If I were in the market for three big pit carp reels I would be tempted to buy these over techniums and save a fortune.

    Penn reels

    Just bought a pair of fathom 2 stardrag mags in the 12 size, feel very solid , not as refined as the 7ht's but feel a bit better in use than the casting specials which is odd as I thought they were just a smaller version.

    Social session.

    Went again last night and blanked for the first time this year but not bothered as I only really wanted to try out a new pair of reels which I have seen highly recommended on here. They are a pair of fathom 2 stardrags in size 12. Must say they feel very nice with plenty of winding power but...

    Sun out and daylight start although a little windy it's nice to be with a couple of mates and take the cadac. <a href="https://ibb.co/zny27sC"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/2nDMsqR/PXL-20240503-171618505.jpg" alt="PXL-20240503-171618505" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/GWbgD9Y"><img...

    TronixPro rods?

    I have four hto's rods including the nebula which is very nice for the money but I probably won't use it now I have major craft tidrifts which are superb.

    They are in a different league to the fathom casting specials build quality wise.

    Prawns...

    Freeline live ones in the river for bass or float fish them in the river, surprising how long you can keep them alive in a bucket of airated river water.

    New Beachcaster - Fixed Spool

    Welcome Mike, rod choice is personal with so many out there in your price range. Depends on what action you like and how you tend to fish, in close, long range, lite as possible or big leads big baits ect. Chesil as you know can vary dramatically with weather , area and tide, I've fished it with...
