Yep I’m back In Lanzarote in November so that is part of the thinking ! Also plan to fish some very deep water off the paddle board wether permitting 👍🏻
I didn’t know what reel to buy for under £100 so I went for the Shimano Nasci and dead impressed with the quality for the bucks, your reel must be heaven 🏆
When you say 5000 it's actually the same body size as the 4000 just bit bigger spool and handle had the 4000s myself but moved onto the twin powers now a little tip get yourself some quality grease l use quicksilver high performance it's actually for saltwater use before using any reel handle off and opposite handle cover cap few drops of red rocket fule then cover the bearings with the grease same with line roller strip factory grease off if there's any on lol re-greas after a few trips re-do line roller never had one bit of problem with sticky bearings over the years 👌
Nice real and good choice. I switched to shimano but the saragosa because it has anti wind knot feature. Got 3 knots in one session with the penn, not a single knot yet with the shimano. Still early days but much lighter than the penn also. Happy fishing.
Fished with my Vanford c3000 for two seasons, lost count how many line roller bearings I replaced and bearings in the handle, even though she was washed down with fresh water after every session. Line lay and silky smooth winding was and still is hands down superior to my Penn Slammer 2500 DX.
Tbf im not the best at washing off every use I must try harder with this reel !! Looking forward to trying it out 👍🏻 slammers are work horses no doubt.
Got one as a back up. Haven’t used it in anger yet. Maybe this year. Prefer to use my Certates when I get the opportunity. Lost a good fly reel last year. Feel your pain.
Hi Conor, Yeah wearing something out is how it should be! I’m just hoping someone found it and it will get used … I hope to test this new one on Saturday 🤞🏻🎣🎣 Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
