Thanks, will give it a try - i use the spinner in Sz5 for ronnie and looking to harmonize my kit to the minimum. Always been a fan of the D-rig

Never? 🤔

I prefer it to the tacklebox personally; staff / owners very attentive

The key to mastering Krimps, is pulling it to a sensible tension afterwards - not pulling it till it breaks.

I hold the puller tools out in front of me with my elbows by my side so there is only soo much i can generate - when started testing krimps i'd hold the boom across my stomach, elbows flared and pull as hard as i could and it would just slip/give which is not realistic of the load thats going to be exerted in a fishing situation.

The best! or certainly my favorite shop to physically visit - well worth it. decent cafe over the road too from memory.

... It will fit in an RS100 absolutely fine, i have a RS Brolly but actually use mine under a ESP Quickdraw brolly with the dog on the floor in front of me.

I've got the oval wide, coming from JRC lightweight bedchairs the comfort level is insane and not sure how the Solar can actually be that much better as people suggest. I was initially concerned about the size and weight as i only do 'quick overnighters' under a brolly as above but to be honest, its worth it and its now become the norm - all of my other kit it scaled right back to the extent ALL my gear fits in a medium carryall and my cooking kit is titanium and goes in a Korda Compact zip bag and the bed, where i spend most of my session as i fish from 7pm - 7am say is my one bit of luxury - bag is nice and non restrictive plenty of room. Just a very good product as you'd expect to go with Trakker's high end bivvy range.

I'm a side sleeper and the memory foam lets you hip and shoulder sink in which is where a lot of the comfort comes from.

I bought a 'as new' one for £300 so keep an eye out on market place.

With autumn approaching, and fishing with a Labrador i'll be after the Oval bedchair cover too soon just begrudging paying another £130 for it at the moment.

I had a spool of '0.33' in the garage, purchased as Tacklebox line test states the 0.33 measures up as 0.33mm

spooled up with it last night and thought this is going on a bit too well - was disappointed to see it actually measures 0.27mm.

£22 down the drain and wasted time as .33mm was as thin as i could get away with really so will need to respool again - not sure I've got the confidence in the line diameters now.

Any one else got some and actually measured it and can provide some feedback?

Cant comment on the others but been using 17lb(.32mm) X-line and really like it, first cast is bit coarse but once its wet and supple its actually quite nice to use, after being in the pond 12/14hrs its not to dissimilar to mono in feel. Pro's far outweigh the cons for me.
