Brought the bigger ones for barbel fishing. Have to say I’m a bit disappointed because the bail arm springs went very weak very quickly. Also lots of problems with line going under the spool and round the spindle which has driven me absolutely mad at times. Can’t fault the barbel rods though with fish to an ounce under 18 lbs
Thoroughly enjoyed the pair of videos on these reels - great to show that you can still get good gear which will copw adequately without paying high prices 👍
Totally agree with you. I've got a mix of 3000,4000 and 5000 reels plus 9 and 10 foot feeder rods,11 foot pellet waggler along with a 3 metre landing net handle and nets. In a word faultless. Initial purchase was based on your review. Have looked at the Impax reels and they do look similar ,cost more and only one spool. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Stay safe and thanks 😅u
Looking to replace my 4000 now and i cant say enough how good of a bargain this reel was years ago, had fish up to 27lb on it and always served me well
Hi there well just wanted thank you as when I watched your first video about these reels i then went out and bought a couple 4000 and 5000 and I must say personally they have been absolutely brilliant for the money. I also own a couple of cadence cs10 reels which are very good but for £120 I'm starting to wonder is it really worth paying around 3 or 4 times more for them well I think because I don't go crazy amounts of time,the answer is no. In fact I like the reels that's much I feel like selling my cadence reels and buy more of these ones! Great videos
Had the 4000 for 3years had 100s of tench and carp using it no problems at all still going strong
