Hi guys I have a smiler question. I am fishing a couple of years but always used a fixed reel. The lad in my local tackle shop who has yet to see me wrong on the advice talked me into a multiplier reel the last time I went for an upgrade. Well I chickened out and went for the "what you know" comfort zone.

Anyway last week after much thought I went and picked up a new multiplier reel. Now I don't know if its the way I lined it or (and) I just did not set it up right but after a couple of hours on Saturday and a lot of untangling I was fit for tears.

So if there is anybody in or near Dublin that does lessons I would be forever grateful for contact details.

P.S. I have had anger management classes in advance :oops:
