I fish some very rough ground with a lot of junk in the water, any reason why this is a bad idea? Single hook attached to the top end of a wedge, 15lb hook link, which is weaker than leader (25lb) and main line (30lb). It seems to work from the point of view of not losing so many lures
Does anyone know where to source a spare spool for this reel in the UK? Many thanks!
This is about 25mm long. It appears to be composed of something like flint, and was found in gravel in a yard in south Devon, ie gravel from elsewhere, flint is not found found around here as far as I know. Looks very much like a tooth, is it?
I have two small parts, a brass collar and an aluminium spindle, fused together due to galvanic corrosion. Could I unfuse them electrolytically, by putting them in an electrolyte and putting a small voltage across them? If that is potentially worth a try, how would I start to figure out which side should be positive and negative respectively? I don’t want to dissolve either part, but the aluminium spindle is less replaceable than the brass collar
I have this vintage Allcock Ariel style reel, no branding or marking, does anyone know anything about it? Wondering if it was made by Allcock under contract, or by someone else. Many thanks!
