Anyone seen the new under fishing video on YouTube? I'm pretty sure it's these guys that did the filming for Ali.
At the very beginning a bird dives down, lifts the rig and it doesn't trigger. Next scene a carp drops down, it triggers and gets away with it. The next scene the rig is in the deck, triggered, and gets hooked.

Ali is full of ****. Safety issues aside, the thing doesn't even work and these clips prove it.

Just been offered 3 shimano 5500 CI4 XTC. They come in at 440g.
What do you guys think? Too big?

If you were buying again which would you go for?

Ah real dilemma now.

Looked at the Okuma but it's a no unfortunately.
I am coming around to the gs4000.

Would they cope with larger carp? 30/40?

Looking for a new set of reels for my 9ft rods. Was originally looking at the ci4 5500, as I've got the bigger brother for my 12&13 foot rods. Then started looking at the ss2600 and read that the gs4000 is getting better reviews. Didn't like the look of the gs, but can't now bring myself to buy the ss2600 for more money and less quality.

Any recommendations guys? Shimano and Diawa if possible.

It will be interesting to see if he attends any of the shows next year, as I feel this just isn't going away.
If they showcase the rig on ITV, I don't think it's going to the sport any favours. Personally I think we should be thinking of ways we can get it pulled from the shelves, because Mr ego isn't going to.

No chance lol. I was thinking something very subtle.

I am going to be decorating my home office sometime in the new year. 💯 going for a subtle Carpy theme. I'm thinking some nice framed images etc... Anyone else done their out? If so let's see the pics for inspiration 👍
