Reels?

Is that price for just the BRI or the BRI Plus?

The Emcast EC 5000 for £49.99

 

How much is he doing the Wychwood Extremis Freespin Reel for?

 

Really like the look of the Emcast EC 5000 ,does anyone know if it's better or as good as the BRI's?

 

I'm impressed with the BRI Plus it looks like a good piece of kit, I've got a set of it's predecessors the Emblem X BRiT and I'm still using them now. They're solid reliable reels, if I've got a criticism the line lay could be better.

There is a problem with the Wychwood Extremis reals, the freespin drag does not tighten perticuarly tight, so if you want to fish semi locked up on the bait runner you couldn't. I had a set of maximisers last year, they only lasted about six months bought a set of Daiwa infinity BR5500 and will never look back. Hope this helps.

Not sure which to be totally honest as I just sell them!! (Plus or ?)

But I have to call him today so will endeavour to get you some prices.

 

Any news on prices Chris?

Yup, ebay... great for tackle bargains, shimano 6000gte's for £50 6000re's for £30 or even the older 6010gt's are still only about £40ish. Just be carefull who your buying from, don't want to end up with some poor sods nicked gear.

 

I would also advise to only use PayPal - far easier to get your money back. I just got stiffed on 3 secondhand Wychwood Free Spins - 2 arrived with broken handles and drags. Returned and still no refund.

 

Any recommendations on a good Tele to go with a good reel a was thinking of going for the Wychwood Rogue Tele Carp & Free Spin Combo.

Don't buyt the Wychwood Extremis Freespin Reels. The bail arm closes sometimes on hard casts. Snapping off £6 of end tackle a time! Save some money in the long run and buy Shimano 6000RE or the Daiwa Emcast Evo 5500 that I am upgrading too :-D

 

Hope this helps,
