Lawyers must be the only profession where they are trained to only type with one finger.

Here is the link to the Fox spares page...
https://www.foxint.com/home/support/spares/
Type DSM-MSP in the search box...£5.50
Shipping is £6.00

£11.50 for a repair kit for a £12/13.99 product...
It would be going straight in the recycling bin if it was mine.

After the years of pisstaking by that Judith and Bryan Houghton over copyright , seems like when Fox bought them out they thought they (Fox) should take the piss with spares pricing....

As Terry Thomas would say....
"What an absolute shower ! "

Had mine snap yesterday, checked online and the repair kits are almost the cost of the spombs, so I bought a few Chinese copies from eBay. Job done.

Got through 7 this season, yeah 7. Some due to crack offs and others due to that crap spring that loves to snap or, my last one, the newly designed ones have a sleeve that rides up the bit where the swivel is mounted. Found this out to my dismay when I smashed out to wherever I was spombing, the line went slack and the spomb just sailed out miles into the drink. FFS, another trip to angling direct, No:6 spomb.

Thought I'd solved the sleeve problem by whipping 30lb mono up the shaft to stop the sleeve from riding up and loosing another, solved the problem, but last weekend the effin spring broke. Give me strength. If there is a god, like please, no more?

They are great for rinsing out a load of bait, by heck they fall apart quickly. Maybe I've been overloading it too much which could possibly be the reason the spring likes to snap, or they're just crap.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
