Ok…….
I’m looking for a new boat.
Narrowed it down to either the deeper quest with downscan or the toslon XR500.
Is their any 1 out there who has used both that can time me some pointers. Both good & bad.
Cheers
Josh

Evening all.

Looking at trying to lighten the load slightly and getting away from the bulky Ruben’s,
What’s your recommendations ? Also why?

Cheers

I have both sizes.
I can honestly say they are pukka.
I don’t just use them for fishing.
Been using one smaller 1 since it came out and it really does keep your items cold.
Personally I did find the small version too small for 48hours.
But now the bigger size is perfect.
I use mine 2/3 times as week and they really do keep my food & drinks chilled.
I originally used some slim line freezer packs to help keep the internal area cold but have changed over to use gel freezer bags as they are slimmer and I can slot them more easily between cans and food packs.

I have 2 of the spomb reels,
They feel well made, great retrieval rate.
So far no issue.
Spooled up with power pro, they do cast a fair distance,

So I went for the 10ft 31/4 telios.
Lovely rods. Not over powerful I have slung a lead with out a rig over 100yards, but that was just to see what they were capable of.
Currently teamed with ss3000.
Had a few smaller fish on them, and they really do play well.
I had them built with 50mm rings, now I wish I had gone for 40’s. Maybe next year get them re-rung

My fox RX+ receiver is eating batteries,
I know Dal-tronics do repairs & services. But noticed people are waiting a long time. Is there any other repairers out there ???

Morning all.
Currently using the esp hook bead/sleeve. Grips well and don’t really move.
Is there any others out there that really do grip well and don’t move ???
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
