Re: Hello from Teesside
Welcome Sir, and I'm with you on the Daiwa 700 appreciation. They remind me of my mid teens when several of my mates had them coupled with early hollow glass spinning rods, short enough to carry whilst cycling!

Welcome to the forum sir may I say you have very good taste in fixed spool reels!Dunsmuir wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 12:43 pm Hi everybody,
I fish the Tees mainly for chub, dace, grayling, perch and the odd pike.
I use a variety of methods, but in winter it’s mainly light ledgering. Other times the float comes into play, or it’s lures.
The Tees is such a wild river it can be hard going at times one way or another, but that’s why I enjoy it so much.
Recently I’ve developed a liking for old Daiwa reels. You can’t beat the 700 and 7000 series for looks, reliability and value in my view.
I've been known to purchase one or two myself over the last few years.
I'm a 99% pin man but when I need a good quality fixed spool my old diawas never let me down!

Welcome to the forum Dunsmuir We are slowly gathering better numbers of more northern members and at some point a gathering is going to be in order I hope. Also I'm pleased to see another Daiwa fan

I am just up the road in Durham.
You will like it on here as the knowledge is fantastic and everyone is friendly.
Do you ever fish the River Wear?
No, I don't get up to the Wear these days.I've fished it for trout etc in the past though. It's a lovely river, but I'm spoilt for choice down here.
