Hi have the mrk4 actor with the GPS upgrade.
I only really use it for pike fishing and the battery used to at least
Last one long session sometimes two.
This winter the battery is dying after one 100m drop
Do you thunk this could just be a battery issue or something else.

I have ordered a new battery and just waiting in it to arrive.
Has anyone else who uses them had any other issues that may drain the
Battery


Thanks ben

I've dealt with quite a few companies to north.
Not heard anything about these.
Checking their street view on Google maps turns up a house in an estate
Not saying they're not Legit but like the other poster says maybe buy something small and use PayPal

Sadly there was a fish kill on the lough in cork a few years back and 95% of the fish died.
There's plenty of carp lakes across the country these days and a lot are non publicity.
The record still hovers just over the 30lb mark although some bigger fish have been caught.
The guys up in northern Ireland really have a thriving carp screen growing well the past few years with some amazing lakes....
The big reservoir in cork has a low stock of carp some of which have never seen a hook. Proper pioneering angling. Seen pics of some nice mid 20 commons.

I got some for my tench rods
They're small
Same size or even smaller than 4000 shimano dls
The line clip isn't great.
But they are smooth and light and look nice
Are you sure?
