Mentioned it in a different thread a while back

Was out visiting today & ended up going home with another brurry reel

This is wun off the samples & not the colours of the reels on order

Below is a link to the reels specs but as ewes can see from my pic there's been a few changes like the handle but more importantly the Drag
We played around with the drag a few months back & dumped the original drag system opting for graphite washers & instead of the original quantity which I can recal there's now 9 washers.

Also after Jumpus would not stop nagging the spools now have a bigger line capacity not as much as i would've liked but still alot better than the original & more than enough to chase Kungs with.

I have been using the CD's for sum time now in the small size's & can vouch they are smooth & they only have the standard drag system these CD7000's even have 2 sealed bearing in the drag system configuration

You got most of it right, except there is 10 washers...

Viva's factory is like cake for a fat kid... Guys, the gear that they have are bringing out is 1st class at affordable prices... Enough said, if you get the chance to have a look at one of the stores selling the gear, you wont be dissapointed... And you will save

Wah ??

Wi Ewe No Risten ewe Ninkompoopy

Ewe velly confuciousing drag washers with amount of bearings in reel

There's 9 drag washers like I said I should know cause I just pulled it apart & counted them

There's 10 + 2 bearings.

Tell ewes wot even I got a shock when told how much these reels will retail for.

When they come in next months I'll show off sum of the nu rods allreadygot 2 jig sticks set aside for me

When the time comes I'm going to score that Bassy named rod it's got Jumpus written all over it

Got a shock when told I was holding a $1,000 spin stick in my hands

10 + 2 = 12..... Not 10

On a side note, we tried to visit Fed today, but he must of been hiding in the cupboard or something... So I jumped the fence and pissed in the SeaFairys fuel tank That will teach him for not answering the door

My tank's got at least a 5 Litre water trap built into it Bees and if you over filled that then my old tech carby 2 stroke will drink anything it's offered.
Too bad I missed you guys I had to duck out for a couple of hours this morning.

Does that real have a ratchet Jumpy, not sure I trust those +2s.

J.G. i am in the market for a bait caster have they got any worth taking a look at must be of high quilty with at least 4 bearing's and a floating spool with a very good drag
will be used with a 10kg rod for the big cod we get here in the lake.

Paul

the ghost is back aaaaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Could've sworn Bees let out @ least 7 litres of pissings Fed

No !
Threadline reels dont have a ratchet nor do proper baitcasters



Tis not a bait caster ewe R after poly , bait casters are used predomantly for lure casting & as I said earlier they do NOT have a ratchet which I believe you'd need for bait fushing the COD.

I get to pull apart the new reels when the samples come in to have a looky cause none of the guys are game enough

Mind ewe I've taugh the yung fellow there how to pull them apart & service them & he's become velly good @ it as well

12 months ago I did pull apart viva's bait caster thought the drag was a bit jerky {then again my chronach goes jerky as well & it's 4 x's the price] but overall not a bad wittle reel for the $$'s ewe pay for wun

this is their bait caster [blue wun is in oz @ present I do have wun but haven't used it yet ]

Having no idea how ewe fush for COD

Wun of these may suit your needs I've got wun [ the 6 : 1 ratio model yet to use it] you'd be wooking @ the 4 : 1 model]

They're marketed under the Browning name over here & if not mistaken only Complete angler stores have them

http://www.viva.com.cn/fish-reel-hc-en.htm

I've owned lots of ratchet threadlines, I've got one here now if you want to see it. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.....

BEES

You did "WHAT" to the tank?

What's the old saying: if I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake! or at least thrown on a batch of scones.

Jumpus

Do you know of any bait runners that let you know when the bait is being 'nibbled' at?

Sorry we missed you.

Dont worry Seafairy, i had about 5 coffees before we reached your humble abode I definately left my mark Just jokes...

Would of been nice to meet you and Fed... one day

BEES

Yeah! Well if you are up this way again at least you know where we live.
- call-in and say "Hi!"

yes it is, yes it is, its a bait caster I am after, and a good strong one at that, thanks for the links I will get a friend of mine to get me some prices for me.

P.S. I only use lures for cod, red fin and yellow belly here in the lake most pople only use bait for carp

I'd get lost in there mate.. But we will catch up one day..

I just find it odd

Running 10 kg line through a reel which has such a small dia spool

Dont really use overheads a great deal these days for lure casting but back in the old days when I did the original swedish ABU's would've been my pick if I were to spool with 10 kg

You're game making an offer like that

I had to stop him from leaving a No 1 deposit on your letter box on the way out

True story... The neighbour chased me away with a broom

Google eyed that rod I was speaking off get a load of this wittle stiffy

http://www.tackletour.com/reviewsuperdestroyer.html

the thing with cod is you need to be very accurate with your casts, you some times have to cast several times to the same spot to get a response,cod are very strong fighters but never run far just short power full runs, so the need for a reel that can handle heave drag with out locking up is of the most importance, do you think the BA20RH will handle this type of fish.??????????

Paul

How can a little fishing rod cost $1,000?

Know exactly wot ewe mean.
Personately I'm alot more deadly accurate with a baot caster in my hands than a threadline but I dont run 10 kg line through my bait castors.

poly the viva reel uses the felt washers from memory that's why I found drag a wittle jerky not much just enough to catch my attention so I pulled it apart to have a look inside a good clean & it was running very smooth afterwards.

Wot ewe have to bear in mind is that reels are mass produced & the care you'd personally give to assembling wun is not there



It's ridiculous Fed but there's irriots out there who'd pay it just to say I've got wun

Dont get me wrong tis a velly nice rod caught my eye right away so I pulled it off the rack to have a play around

The rod in Q is an original Megabass but when it lands here it'll be more or less identical for a fraction of the cost

No different to wot happened with viva's LOX rods when they copied the Nitro

None left from the 1st shipment all sold out they've become very popular
