I use these on 30lb fluoro and haven't noticed any issues, are you using low diameter?

I think you'll be impressed Braders. At first it was a bit too firm for me, I've had it over a season now and it's brilliant. Best money I've spent on a bedchair, and I am fussy bugger

30lb Seagur Ace Hard. Had it on two different spools.

It roughs it up without fail.

The Korda naked chod safety system beads are fine, presumbaly cos they don't contain tungsten?

Good to know, never really move my bottom bead much but will check next time I'm out.

Second these, also getting more of my attention is Trakker as I have a few pieces and all seem good quality and well made to last 👍

Been using these and similar for years on fluoro, mono and braid. Never looked through a microscope but never shredded any line either? More than happy to use Korda end tackle, likewise Nash, ESP Gardner etc.

Cotswold Aquarius for luggage. Been through hell and back and with a clean still looks as good as the day I bought it.

Never had an issue with any of my Harrison rods.

Solar for my pod and bedchair. Pod has been going strong for last five years and can guarantee that it will still be going for years to come. Only downside is it's weight.

Love the Chris Brown pod, it's top draw, and only just shy of £130. The only thing I'd wish they'd do is put some nicer thumb screws on the banksticks.
Are you sure?
