    Surf Casting Reels

    Guys (and girls) I may need new reels - the line rollers on my Daiwa Emblem Surf reels have seized (and somewhat bonded) and replacing the parts (potentially) including the bail arms could be costly. While I wait for Daiwa to get back to me with a price I've been looking at replacement options...

    Posting a fishing rod...

    ...is expensive! 😞 I'm having to do a warranty claim and (initially) I have to cover the cost of sending the rod back. A quick look at prices - quotes are over £30 :eek: - which to me seems obscene because although the package is long it will easily fit in most vans and is not difficult to...

    Surface lure for bass

    Guys (and girls), I'd like to give my reels a bit of love - what lubricants (and cleaners) could you recommend? In case it matters it's for a pair of Daiwa Surf Emblem.

    South Coast The bass before the storm

    Saw an opportunity to fish Hengistbury Head on Friday just before storm Darragh arrived. Got there just after sunrise (wish it had been earlier though) and landed a 44cm bass on the first cast using squid head and guts 🥳 Fished for 6 more hours and nothing 😅 The session ended when a motorboat...

    Asso tapered line?

    Have you guys tried this? I typically use a tapered leader tied (Albright) to 20lb braid BUT I find the knot catches on the guides, not sure why, maybe the way I cast? And at some point the leader will crackoff 😒 Anyway a few months ago I tried this Asso line (80-18lb) and OH MY DAYS I loved...

    Ian Golds Rod Rests

    Hey guys and girls, I'm new to the forum (hello), not new to fishing, and up until last year I've only ever used sand-spikes. They're light and simple but you're also at the mercy of the ground (too soft, too hard, etc) so last year I bought the Shakespeare Salt Beach Rest. I've really enjoyed...
