All of the Advanta range of luggage is actually very good quality, and hard wearing as well.

Does anybody know if the Nash GTL 8000 reels/spools have been discontinued?
I've been looking for black spare spools for ages, but tackle shops only seem to have the gold version, which I don't want.

Anybody know of any shops with spare spools in stock?

Simon.

I was in a similar position to you, in that back in the day I used kryston products exclusively, until they became a shadow of their former selves.
Now I use ESP Tungsten Loaded, and it does literally everything that you could possible want it to do.

I've never understood concessions anyway.
You're fishing the same swim in the same way as everybody else, and if you're old or disabled, have more time to spend there than the average working man.
Why should it be a cheaper ticket?

I've fished for a carp called Swim Shady.

I've got and use these and in all honesty, they're not that great.
They do NOT like rain at all, to the point that I've had to replace one of them 3 times and one of them 2 times.
They're also too big in my opinion.
I don't recommend them.

I'm resurrecting this post from the dim and distant past!
Any longer term reviews on these rods?
Also im presuming that they have 40mm ringing amd not 50mm?
