Bit of a strange one but I will go with it anyway. I am heading to France over the next few weeks. There is a group of us going in a truck that will be packed to gills with equipment. I really want to bring my infinity throwing stick bit I am worried about it breaking. Considering it's curved I am worried I won't get it in a lump of pipe but could glue a couple of bends on if need be. Just wondering if anyone else used some clever ways in the past that might have been in the same situation.

It's one of the best shops in Ireland. Based out of Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. Huge range and selection of equipment for all disciplines. Buy with confidence ran by a guy called David Burleigh. They actually have an official season opening day coming up with all the top anglers in Ireland and UK showcasing the new upcoming products. In a nut shell totally legit, no problem

Mine is quite old now but works a treat. Probably just stiff because its new? If in doubt send it back

I have the Nbrice carbon stainless, the JAG 316 SS 3 rod compact and a Nano pod.

I wouldn't say it's not a patch. I like them all equally but think maybe the NB is a bit more blingy. I have 4 pals with the same as mine the gunsmoke and stainless version and they all love them. Have other pals with all the JAG ones and they love them. Horse for courses but I think regardless of the choice of both you won't be disappointed. All quality products. I did hear that the newer NB seem to be a different quality to the older ones and are now extortionately expensive since Wolf took them over. How true that is I don't know

I have no doubt you felt a rotor wobble on the power aero at Johnson ross but all I can say is my 3 are solid. I do a lot of distance fishing. They get used every sesh. Smooth as butter and for the moment I have had fish to 48lb on them (3rd 40 so far). I could only recommend. If they are worth the difference in price I am not sure but they are solid reels which you won't be upset about. Would love to try the XR to see how it compares.

I use the new power aero but got them at a really good discounted price from Germany. They are by far the best reel I have ever had but i am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to new gear especially reels having upgraded from infinity X 5500 BR's. They are completely solid, reaaly light and extremely smooth. I know it won't help you much in your decision choice but without question I have no regrets and would buy them again. Might be hard to find a person that has had both to do a comparison.

Is there any alternative manufacturer isotope that could be used. People on here mentioned I think they are called Lunatopes which sell a lot cheaper and are meant to be brighter. Also as a side note does anyone know if matrix chains are 2ba thread. I would imagine the answer is probably yes

Hi, Seen a guy with these in france and thought they were very neat albeit expensive. Really wanted to get a set but I don't want to use the Jag Safe Liners. Just wanted to see if Solar/ Neville chains fit the block and if anyone had any recommendations on what beta lights to put in them and what colour to make them brightest

I have one and used it the weekend. As someone else said the zip part at the top is difficult to zip up. I have the large and its not as large as you think. Internal space doesn't be long filling up. Also a faff with the rigid frame getting into the car. I would recommend you just get a bivvy table and a half decent carryall. You can fit more and way easier to transport.

I love the Harison straight stick I have. Not necessarily the longest but definitely a lot accurate. I use to use cut down broken whips as mentioned below. Still nothing wrong with them but would lie if I didn't prefer the carbon stick which I have had for a long time
