OH NO!! not another convert to ocean fluff chucking , snathcher you have alot to answer for!!when you get fed up hitting your head with 3ozs of fly, well try and introduce you to some more delicate budgie drowning!! however in the mean time good luck!! give us the numbers and Illtry and interpret

[Snatcher]

Bring it on !

Do yourself a fovour and stick the rod back on e-bay and hope you dont make a loss. Then raid your piggy-bank and head to here : http://www.veals.co.uk/. or see if you can still get one of the Airflo Delta+ 8/9 on sale for £40.Match this with an Okuma Airframe 7/9 reel , 100 yards of 20lb dacron backing and a reasonable flyline like the Shakespeare Worcestershire Intermediate WF8 or 9 line.

if andrew wants to keep it cheap, theres a bit of a difference between 10 quid and 40 quid.......

[jim doyle]

Not as big as the difference as between that "thing" he's picked up of e-bay and a modern rod. Cheap is one thing.....Value formoney and usability another.

Andrew,

 

I think you may have made a balls up there. Is this reel capable of taking a WF9 line? Please please please stop and think about what your buying, ask questions first. Youve bought the gear to have fun...and theres no fun in using unsuitable gear.
