Hi guys, sorry I have not been about fot a while, besided my success at the Carp of Norfolk...I have been doing a bit of exploring on some of the wilder lochs of Scotland...and thats where my problem begins....
Last weekend I blew up my sixth baitrunner, totally stripping the gears. I also had two spools go! This is because I have started using serious baits for serious fish in serious waters.
The baitrunners are just not up to the job I am afraid, and its the newer ones that are giving up the ghost first!
Can anyone recommend a reel for use with baits up to 10oz, hauling fish through weed, and retrieving weed covered baits?
Reels on the short list are the Quantum baitrunners, Biomasters, Emblems, Giant big pit reel and possibly the Okuma Epix baitfeeder in the 70 or 80 size.
I am using either 30 lb fireline or 17 pound normal nylon depending on the swim.
Can anyone recommend anything?
Cheers
Rob
