Evening all,
Has anyone replaced the plastic bushes for bearings on the handles on the XTB's
Lovely reels sadly let down by annoyingly clunky handles!
Any pointers to bearing sizes and or suppliers greatfully received.
TIA
Jay

Also been using this since it came out and can't fault it! Behaved itself as soon as I spooled up and performed superbly.
Fished a social on a lake toward the end of the summer on a lake that is covered in BIG rough "boulders ", it took a real beating on the rocks and came back absolutely shredded in places but held fast.
Casts really well given its intended use.

Afternoon Chaps,

Is it my geriatric memory, or did someone mention a valve that allowed you to empty the remainder of the gas in a c500 type canister in to another c500 and consolidate tins?
Clearing out the garage and have 11 cans with a little bit in....sure it would be enough for at leat 2 full ones!
TIA

Must be my age but starting to feel the cold!
Have never needed a 5 season bag before but think I'm going to invest, has anyone any experience of the trakker 365 bag or similar?
TIA

Would be interested if you come up with a price

John Bailey is/was involved in running Kingy in Lyng and is also the advisor on Gone Fishing and Mickey Walsh is still about.
I remember Plumber's little shop before he moved to Sprowston Rd, used to cycle there for maggots and bought my first modern carp reels (shimano carbomatics) from him for my first trip abroad in the late 80s from his Sprowston shop.

Anyone know if the emblem x black spools fit on old baboons?
Looking for some compatible spools for my old baboons and can't find any originals.
TIA
