Tenacious tape is available in olive green as well. Hardly see it on small repairs 👍.

"Steves leads" are excellent quality and value. Check him out on facebook. He is in Hampshire too.

I will always use a fluro mainline, usually x line or Kontour, where possible. One of the main overlooked advantages is it means less problems with tangling with other rods when playing fish as most of the line is sunk or at least well down in the water.
I have not found a fluro coated line that sinks anything like as good as 100% fluro.

If casting not an issue 20lb x line is the one

Fortis thermal trail jacket is very good. Been using since January.

Hampshire Custom Rods

Had an issue with a basia reel. Sent it back to Daiwa last Tuesday after calling them. Got it back today repaired free of charge. Fantastic customer service.

Some praise for excellent customer service from ESP. Had an issue with an item at weekend. E mailed them asking could I purchase the replacement part. Got a response within an hour asking for my address so they could send the part free of any charge and received it today. Fantastic service.

Had exactly the issue you describe with my Solar Traveller. The handles are too high and legs too long leading to fatigue trying to push with bent arms. I messaged Solar several times with no response. Nash Trax legs are shorter and fit perfectly as do their fixed rear wheels. Either cure the problem. I cannot believe no one picked this up during Solars extensive "fieldtesting" !

I have left mine out in heavy rain but under a barrow cover, no issues.
