straight forward Shimano calls it 4000, here it is 40FD (FD=Front Drag), next in stock would be the 50FD

Re: best place to buy new rods and reels
In fairness, I have to say I went through a couple of pages on the Alderney Angling site and I stand corrected. Some really good offers there. Nice one!ste c wrote:The Austrian wrote:I doubt that you have even bothered to compare their prices:ste c wrote:The Austrian wrote:Glasgow Angling Centre have a sale on at the moment, check it out: http://www.fishingmegastore.com/sea-fis ... learance=1

Re: best place to buy new rods and reels
Cheers, reason i asked there is no weight given for the rapid bass where the exage is 320g. I made the mistake before when i got a Daiwwa emcast sport it was like a tank compared to the shimanos that i have.The Austrian wrote:LI1429 1224750 50FD 10+1 5.2:1 200yds/12lb £49.99 £29.99 In stocknicefish wrote:How does this reel compare to a shimano exage 4000 in size?The Austrian wrote:Lineaeffe Rapid Bass FD Reel, reduced from 50 to 30 sterling, same price for all models from size 20 to 60.

Re: best place to buy new rods and reels
Alderneys prices exclude vat. If you are outside of the UK they won't charge you any so be prepared to be hit by the customs man once your parcel arrives.....the world sea fishing shop won't deliver rods or "other bulky items" outside of the uk.

Re: best place to buy new rods and reels
Dan lynch at halfway angling in cork is worth a look too. I bought something off him last week for €45, cheapest uk price was £50 before p&phttp://www.tackledirectireland.ie
The uk shops arent always the better option. You need to save more than just a few €€ to make it worthwhile in case anything goes wrong.

you will not get hit by customs from alderney angling thats only in the states, i use them on a regular bases and have got many reels from them and am ordering another reel this week, me and my mates use them all of the time with prices you will not beat and trouble free the lads are nice to deal with
