If you are saying, that it should not be posted on here, please speak up, and I will get it removed, along with any other you disapprove of.

it's a nice reel..... Okuma are a well known reel makers...

Rod easy tiger it's a pin still traditional I have a number of cane rods by James a fellow member, quite sublime, no one questions if these are Traditional so enjoy the reel.

I have been using TF Gear centre pins on my MkiV's for years now. Fantastic ! Do some "frown" ? Probably ! Do I care. ? No ! Rod. Enjoy it ! It's a great reel.

Barbulus best not buy a new Barder then or that may get frowned upon.

LoL. Excellent ! Bumble. There are some things that will never happen. I shall stick with James, some "kits", Grantham and maybe for Christmas a Burns.......if I thought MHC could get me one of his from Canada I could be tempted though ! Eeeeeeek !

What ever floats your boat Rod, enjoy and ignore the dissenters, its all a state of mind.....

How does it compare to the Sheffield?? For trotting etc.?? Is the Kennet for heavier lines??
