If you have any access to them Harrison Baby Ballistas or Acurix would be something to look at

he had the most incredible knowledge and passion for carp angling, and he will be greatly missed. Sad news indeed, I did not see this coming

there is a new clip on the OMC insta of Ali playing a fish caught with the "help" of the twig and to me it looks like the arms did not even spring open, and when he is unhooking the fish in the net he is trying to cover the twig with his hand the whole time... surely you would show it to the camera in full detail if it had worked and not hide it, especially when all you talk about the whole clip is that bloody thing and how great it is

the inners of the MgS reels were of better quality for the XSA, XSB and XTB models, after that it seems like the trend to save on the quality of the inside components was also applied to the later MgS models

Garry has had a lot of private matters to attend to for quite a while now. I am not sure if he is back to doing what he does best yet, but it's always worth a try. He is the best in the reel servicing/ customising business and would always be my 1st choice
