i've been using EOS 10000 for 2 seasons and i can feel the gearing going on one of them. it refuses to wind against pressure when playing a fish in. have to pump and wind.

You really should pump and wind with any reel to protect the gears.

Hence the term ‘playing' not ‘winching'

Cannot speak about the FX13 as I don't own a set, but the FX9 and FX11 are superb.

I think the fx11 is perfect size for most uk fishing unless on massive reservoirs boating baits out.

I have FX9's on my 2.75lb rods and FX11's on my 3.25lb rods. I found the FX11's a little big on the 2.75lb rods, but i did change from mini pits. The FX9's are the perfect size for mid range imo. Both models are excellent though

I have 2 sets of the fx9
They are the perfect size For most of my fishing
I had a set on esp 9ft stalkers Have just changed them back to gs4000 just to save a little weight for one of my waters as it's a walk without a barrow

My bail arm snapped on my fx9, only noticed when I had a take in the night, causing me to lose the fish, it is where the arm and roller meet, has anyone else had this problem and is it a straight forward fix with the new part? And are fox good at stocking replacement parts?
Are you sure?
