Thanks All. Managed to get a pair for £600 but with 10% off. They came yesterday and I had already bought the SCR large metal clips so fit them.

A bit of a nightmare to fit, the video just shows someone knocking the pin out with a thin bradawl and no problem. I literally have a spool shaped dent in my oak kitchen counter and the bugger still didn't shift. Ended up using the dremmel and a small cutting disk. Loaded them up with 15lb GR60 and they feel like tanks.

Going to do a couple of nights straight after work tomorrow so will see how they go.

Looking at my Emblem spod reel the spools look almost identical so I should have checked whether they are interchangeable as the emblem spool comes with both impact line clip and sharks tooth style.

Thanks again

I currently use a pair of Daiwa Tournament 5000T reels which have being faultless. My daughter is fishing with me more and more now so I am thinking about adding a pair of the Infinity XBR reels to my kit for when she fishes so she can make use of the bait runner feature. I know these are quite a pricey reel for her but if they are anywhere near as reliable as the 5000T's I am happy.

Can anyone who owns these give any feedback? Are they built as good as the Tournament reels? I have looked on Daiwa's website and the RRP is £525 whereas the 5000T has a RRP of £385. Is the difference in price just the BR feature or am I missing something. I can see they have the same rubbish 'Shark Tooth' line clips that will need upgrading.

Thanks in advance

Fortunately (or unfortunately) the wife doesn't give me chance to argue with myself as she seems to be busy enough arguing with me instead

I am sure Fox did a set with different swappable lenses.

As said below a Quivver might be your best option with seperate sleeves to strap rods individually in any combination.

I now fish a 2 rod and spod setup so am currently loving the Fox Camolite Tri Sleeve but when I fished 5 rods just used a 2 rod sleeve and a 3 rod sleeve as would only take the full set up on the barrow.

I am 6'5" and 22 stone mate and have been using a Tracker RLX Flat 6 purely for the weight saving. It has been a great chair, not the most comfortable but I don't sleep well when fishing anyway but more than comfy enought for a few nights. It has worn really well and I have had no issues at all. Best thing is I only paid £120 new

It was the retractable bit that put me off buying a set of Scopes but one of the lads where I fish has had his a few years now and they are still in excellent condition. Sonik have a good reputation so I am sure you will be fine.

Mate I am glad it's not just me.....it is terrible!!!! Really terrible as a rucksack!! I honestly don't know how they market it as one. However for the front of my barrow it is great.
