Hi lads,some of you may have read on the chat forum about me giving up the cigarettes end of week one there was £102 in the big whisky bottle(i put £10 a day in it and every time i want a cigarette some 20ppieces)our lass has doubled the first weeks savings to£200.im after a boat rod that is suitable for shadding inshore but enough guts to stand upto a bit of reef and light wrecking,ive got an old abu 7000 that ive restored and its like a new reel.i want to fish with braid,is the old abu up to it or do i need to invest in something more modern.any advice on which braid to use and the rod would be most welcome,cheers chris

Up until a couple of weeks ago I would of recommended Fladen Maxximus Solid Carbon rods, but seen a couple snap lately.

If its the old 7000 with the brass gearing, dont yank too hard if you get fast, the gears on mine stripped... If you take it easy and match it with a Diawa Kenzaki or Shakespear Ugly Stik 12-20lb class it should make a decent set up....

Well done Chris, I thought you were gonna save that money up for a year!!! Must be burning a hole in ya whiskey bottle!!!!

thats the one mate
you will not find a better rod and reel ,take the level wind off,you get a better flick
use penn braid as well
keith you say you have seen a couple snap we have seen loads snap
used them a few year back great action till as you say" they snap"

hi mate does a super moderator mean you get to wear a super hero costume

[chris elliott]

kind of

were you doing a hog roast chris

guys dont take this the wrong way if you have suffered a loss lateley but yes i was catering for a funeral wake with an elvis tribute turn,it was in the guys will,alot of drunk people,the traditional fight(sausage rolls and vol au vents all over the place) i dont know if your a psychic mr turbot but in the mass catering trade a cremation gig is wideley known as a hog roast,so technically speaking in a philosophical way you are correct in your assesment of these various mass catering related matters
