True. Treat them with respect, handle them properly, look after their environment etc, but no names and no silly emotional attachments.

You should see the looks I get fishing for barbel on the middle Severn with an 8 foot baitcasting rod and a multiplier....

I have plenty of fixed spool outfits that will do the same job but I do love the indignant reaction and demands to see my licence from some sections of the community.

 

I used to trott a raglu rubber lure under a bright yellow bubble float on an outlet of the inland sea on anglesey when there was an incoming tide whilst targetting bass. I used a small baitcaster reel and an 11ft daiwa supercast rod.  The set up was fine for that scenario and I very much anjoyed using it in those circumstances. Only downside was having to use the rod in an upside down position.

However, I would definately choose to use a centrepin on fresh water rivers.  As one example of many....it's impossible to trott proficiently with one arm outstretched and control the trott using a multiplier and short rod. Another example would be ithe need for a heavy set up in order to cast out.   

As the old saying goes...."horses for courses"....and a multiplier and short rod is not really designed for trotting.

Strangely enough, I've been thinking of something similar for fishing jigs on the river.

I also fish a tide race over sand in India, and was thinking of fishing that with rubber lures rigged dropshot style with a flat 3oz lead and allowed to trundle around in the rip of the tide. in this case, the water is shallow and maximising the time with lures at extreme range should result in more fish.

Sometimes you just can't get it right, of course, the fish don't care

Phone, I'm guessing you mean so the reel will backwind??

Can't see the anti reverse switch but here's the parts drawings for all these models. You can make it wind both ways by removing the "PAWL" - Item 51 or bits in that area.

I did it with an old ABU 503 closed face reel years ago.

There might be an anti reverse switch ....... but maybe not, if so -  I'm sure you would have found !!

Sometimes the switch is a left to right operated under the spool casing Or an up and down one on the rear of the main body.

Martin,

Yes, anti reverse - - - But I promise I'm NOT going to look. (PART #53 doesn't look right although I have no memory for it)

More likely something like this?

There's a little black lever at the base of that long grey trigger arm on top - bet that's it!!

When I trotted the raglu, the bubble float keept it up in the water as I held it back/slowed it down as it trotted away. The bubble float was also my bite indicator, and was ripped under when a fish snatched the lure. The float helped to hook the fish but I still gave a bit of a strike to make sure the hook was set properly.

The raglu looked like a small fish trying to swim against the current as I kept the line taught....looked great!  

It was good fun, and the fact that you didn't need to bother baiting your hook was a bonus.

Well worth you trying it when on your globe trotting travels Ken and i'd be interested to hear how you get on with it :).

That's a bit weird.
