At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

New reel

#1 Post by Stephen8wood »

Hi all,

Have any of you used a Grauvell Zeus v 5000 by any chance. If you have was it any use?

Cheers

I haven't used that model but i have the model just above it the z5000 and find it great! I've had it over a year now with no problems it would be my main reel so it gets used on every session! I just rinse it with water after each trip and it's still working perfectly :)

Thanks Al, I saw your reel on Veals website too. It looked good. I've ordered the V5000 from Veals and am looking forward to trying it out.

Just to let anyone who is intersted know, I ordered the reel and a few bits from Veils last friday and they were delivered on Wednesday morning. I havn't tried the reel yet but i thought that was fairly fast service anyway. I got a few sets of boat jig/feather treaces as well. Each variety cost £2.87 or so for three packs. I'm not trying to do down our own shops, who need support, but that seems very cheap to me.
