    Great video! Would this reel (or the new 10000 PRO version) pair well with a 10ft carp rod?

    Mine cost £19.99 from Aldi - they are "Waterproof" (Like it says on the side decals) 2 or 3 years guarantee AND, I got to try them on first !! Take a Photo' of the Till Receipt asap, as the printer Ink they use, soon fades into a Useless, Blank piece of paper for guarantee purposes. Maybe do a bit more research before posting on YT buddy ??

  • @Operationcarp

    So in the box mate there should be some little rubbers. You may need to take off the spool and try add some to balance it. Or remove some if already on there. I expect there’s videos on KZread about how to get your line even on a. Fishing reel. Haven’t had the issue myself I’m afraid. If that doesn’t sort it they might need to go back to manufacturer

    I had one of these and really liked it. Some of the Fox modular luggage will fit like a glove into the main bag. And can easily be accessed from the side opening... I made the mistake of keeping bags of bait/pellet in the mesh paniers on one trip. And the resident mice made short work of the mesh... Regarding the tyre. I had no problems with mine over 18 months of use. But you can get a can of the foam spray stuff that you use on a car tyre. Which will help make the barrow tyre more robust... Good honest review though... I thought the inclusion of the barrow cover was a nice touch by Fox..

    So I bought one of these and set it up as a pre-use test in the garden to sit through a not particularly heavy rainstorm overnight. In the morning it was just soaking wet on the underside and on the ground underneath. Probably the stitching was at fault but honestly - just a joke product. Got immediately refunded with no quibbles ( perhaps they weren’t surprised.) Then I see glowing reviews like this and I think WTF?

  • @Operationcarp

    Hi Paul, the numbers are the size of the hooks. I use 10ft rod with 3.25test curve for a lot of my fishing. If your going for carp it depends on size of the fish on the lake you are going but most lakes you can’t go wrong with a size 6 hook and that will catch carp of various sizes. I hope that helps.

    Ive got this bag. It's fantastic. Ive got the 90 litre too, but that is massive. Far too big to practically use as a rucksack. This 40 litre is perfect I get everything in there. The material and zips are good quality and it's comfortable and allows quite a lot of strap adjustments etc so you can get the fit just right for you. The Speero tackle pouch (which is brilliant too) fits perfect in that big front pocket. You're not going to find a better fishing rucksack than this. Im really pleased I bought it. I bought mine direct from Saber, who do have really good customer service. Would highly recommend.
