Yep, stocky, as were 3 of the 4 I caught before the deluge sent me to the pub, one stocky and the token brown went back. All on size 14 Copper John, it took me an hour of looking a pillock before working out they wanted something bouncing bottom. The new member who told me how to fish the Test blanked.
There's nowt wrong with that reel, it just costs more than the RB for no reason I can discern. The top-end Shimano are superb, but bloody expensive, it's a bit like asking yourself whether you need Dura Ace or 105.
is that a river stocky? what did it take?
Fair play re used reel. This looks decent. Anything 4000-6000 would work I think
