Thread: Deeper quest or Toslon Xr500

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

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,

Thread: Best Retractable 10ft rods

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

Morning all.
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 ???
