newer older stuff

[chris elliott]

Hi lads was going to go down the older route for hoying leads into the kelp in south east scotland with a scarboro reel and rod,thanks to everyone who made offers of the loan of a scarboro reel,but the rods are nigh on impossible to get at any price So i have managed to get a couple of shimano speedmastertsm11cfs of e bay,(mine were nicked twenty years ago along with my rods)i used to fish with an abu 484 and a century fireblade and they were brilliant in the kelp!If anyone has got anything similar or modern alternatives at a decent price give me a shout,willing to pay postage or pick up at the end of may,cheers exiled geordie

See if you get hold of a conoflex dc8 or dc6,old glass rods that you can still pick up today cheap.
the abu 484 was never a heavy ground rod mate so you would be more than happy with the dc8.
couple this with a penn 535 brake-block reel.....spot on.

cheers

thanks,there is a cod 8 kicking about,there also a an abu 464 may put in a bid cheers chris

[harry barker]

go for the conoflex mate,the abu 464 again not for the heavy stuff but mind
you a great classic 80s pendulum rod.
Best of luck.

[chris elliott]

hello mate

hi mate was wondering where you had gone,very much up for it have pm you a few times will update you in a bit on the crack,cheers chris

if you're short chucking, why not try fixed spool with 100lb braid and an old conoflex rod with dural butt?

[chris elliott]

interesting

Hi matei,ive got the two shimano speedmaster multipliers now,but up for new ideas,i take it youve used it yourself,intrigued,i suppose when i last seriously fished twenty years ago the fixed spools werent up to much,never used braid but up for the idea,advice on a decent fixed spool would be handy
