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!

m8 took the SHIMANO recommendation form the lads here short while back...great so happy!..just make sure tis the sea version (some models double for sea and the carp crew!)...and the bigger models 8000 hold a 1/3 mile of line!

Shimano Aerlex XS 7000 (£39 at mullarkeys do a google!) or the NAVI XSB


best luck
