Wychwood Rogue 4000

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!

Wychwood Rogue 4000

#1 Post by zensor »

Bought a Wychwood Rogue 4000 one day when out fishing after my cheap reel broke after a year of heavy use. The guy put me onto it and said it wuld be good for sea spinning/float fishing. Well its a piece of crap, and feels sticky when trying to reel in and is very noisy making rubbing and nocking noises whether a fish is on or not when reeling in. Started doing this the second time i used it and so i greased it well but its still the same. I do not like this reel, so will have to go and buy something else, makes me mad.

hi
I have a rogue freespin 5000 model.
only ever used it in fresh water and it makes the same grinding feeling/noise when reeling in as well.
1 season of pike fishing and it has went like this.
I always rinsed the reel in tap water after after each use.
I will replace it with an Okuma epix pro baitfeeeder,the one of these I use is bombproof.
best wishes
cky :)
