Talon Reel Seat

[five bellies]

Good to hear

 

If you don't mind me asking, could you tell me where you got it? We have a bunch dotted around England and Scotland, and a couple of websites are distributing them, but we don't have too much coverage.

Ah, cheers mate.

 

We've sent a good few to them, they seem to sell them quite nicely.

 

Hope they didn't charge you too dear!

Are these still being made? Or can anyone suggest a good set of coasters?

Why did you make me look at Stan's site? I'm drooling now!

 

Those Breakaway ones - I may be being a bit dim here, but can you remove the reel and use them again? Breakaway are only about 8 miles from me.

LOL, Aye some nice stuff there Elton, I have two of Stans rods, and hardly use anything else now...:) Conoflex 12lb ,and Harrison 6lb blanks....

 

the Breakaways can be put on and off at will....do you really think I'd spend a fiver a session???? :P Veals do them...and GAC..

I'll take a look at them next time I'm in Ipswich. The coasters I have at the moment seem to work loose and, while this doesn't happen all the time, it's not exactly confidence-inspiring when you're casting.

I also used them...you would need to tape the blank first tho...as you can over tighten them quite easily..

Cheers for that, Derek. Any idea how shortly?

 

Norrie - I think I should have taped up my rod a bit before using the other ones. To be honest, I hadn't even thought of it until I just read your post.
