I do a lot of lure angling and I've never soaked my braid for any of my fishing whether that be my heavy pike setups to my perch BFS setups. I never do it on my spodding or marker rods either. The whole point of soaking is to give line as much suppleness as possible which you've already got with braid. As mentioned it doesn't matter what the packet says, it will ALWAYS fade.

I only had my delks for 5 months and had to get rid of them. Apart from the build quality I don't know what all the fuss is about. I had a shocking experience with mine. They literally cost me a few fish when using zigs in deep water and the slow drop backs didn't even register. Apparently, a common issue on them.

Best I've ever used and I've used most monos out there. The suppleness is unrivalled.

for me, OGX is the best line I've ever used.

I used to use syncro which was fine at 15lb and below but going up to the 18lb, it was horrendous.

I sold my quest to a guy who was selling his tolson. The quest was excellent, only sold it because I didn’t use it enough to justify the cost. I can’t comment on the tolson because I never used it but when I picked up his Tolson I was blown away by how heavy it was and that was exactly the reason why he wanted rid of it.

Thanking you sir.

Looking like the Solar then. Ability to leave the stormpoles in is very attractive.

I've heard they have issues with the button when taking it down and the side poles are a nightmare to get in.

Looking at scaling my quick overnighter gear down and want a true brolly. I have the RS at the moment and although advertised as a "brolly" it's most definitely not a brolly.

I have a bedchair that is 85cm wide and 200cm long, I'm a big lad so can't go any smaller.

I was looking at -

Quickdraw 58" (a mate is selling his, I know they are out of stock everywhere)
Sonik Opti-cam
The new Quest which hasn't been released yet.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
