Does anyone have issues with the frame support poles, I've managed to cross thread two screws already after only using the bivvy a handful of times.

Are there any better pole sets out there that will work on a Trakker bivvy?

I've just upgraded my spod reel to this one.

Do I need to put a some backing on before putting 300m of braid on, or does the 300m of braid sit at the right level without the need for any backing?

Cheers
Phil

Initially I was looking at the Trakker Levelite Longback Chair, more expensive but I'd read somewhere that it's ever so slightly too high? Especially when sitting in the bivvy doorway.

I'm after a light, comfy chair with arms that's not classed as compact.

Anyone got or had one of these chairs, looking at getting just the standard size one.

Really appreciate all the advice and comments. Picked up a pair of 14000's this afternoon and I think they are going to be just what I need

Looking at getting two new reels to accompany a set of 12ft 3.5 TC rods.

Which reel would be more appropriate, the 5500 or the 14000?

Want the reel to compliment the rod as well as comfortably fishing 120 yards max.

Looking at purchasing a couple of the Shimano Baitrunner XT-B LC Reels but not sure if I should get the medium or big version.

Will be fishing 120 yards max.
