Diawa Black Emblem X
I understand that these have been discontinued and a friend has searched high and low for a set of 3 (1 would suffice for now). Does anyone know where there is any in stock (maybe abroad) as he has 2 so needs to 1 to make up a 3rd rod on the long range set up.
I believe he is after another 2 to put on a set of scope 3lbers but would be open to suggestions on other ones to compliment them. Doesn't mind second hand either so long as they are in very good condition if anyone is selling.
Cheers

Ive just ordered two Daiwa Emcast 25a for my 2.75lb Accurix's to replace some castizms.
Affordable at 75 quid each.

I've just got these for my 10ft rods, haven't been out to use them yet but they look spot on for the money.

Good choice, sold my 3 castizms and bought 4 emcast 25a's and pocketed £260, in use I prefer these as the drag isn't quick and on the rod they feel no different. Two of mine have been used on 10ft scopes while the other two are unused along with another pair of scopes.

Those black emblem reels are demanding decent money atm. I bought all mine via France though they seem to be out of stock everywhere atm.

This isn't going to help immediately but i know petes tackle in southend/rochford definitely has some in stock but at present he is still closed. It could be worth sending him a mesage on fb though.

Just worth changing the line clips. The standard ones are useless and snap.

5 minute job:
1. Buy replacement clips (easy to find on eBay - about a tenner).
2. Took off spool and remove old clip using a small flat head screwdriver (basically just flick off the holding clip)
3. Insert new clip and hold in place using small metal spring clip (bit like a bent paper clip).

I upgraded the line clips, upgraded the drag washers and played about with the washers controlling line lay. Fantastic reels with a few tweaks
