Dodgy controllers?

Anybody else had a problem with Drennen controller floats falling to bits after half a dozen casts? The lead came off two brand new ones of mine the other day, literally after just a couple of casts. Is there a bad batch out there or was I just unlucky?

Well you made a right old mess of mine as well.

Even the wooden one.

Can you be trusted with quality controller floats, I ask.

Geoff,

I used them extensively last season, in all sizes,and never had a problem.

It sounds like you might have got a bad batch.

In with a bad batch more likely! /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

You might say that Geoff, I couldn't possibly comment LOL

Mind you, if you go fishing with Jeff, then . . . . . . .

Oy, watch it Jacobs.

I'd had those controllers since Peter Drennan was a lad. About the same time as Moses crossed the Red Sea.[ inset smiley thing - - - > H E R E ]

"I'd had those controllers since Peter Drennan was a lad. About the same time as Moses crossed the Red Sea."

I can believe that Jeff, and a little bird told me that your line is about the same age . . . .

but I don't believe those stories .. . . . . . .

But stangely enough, the same thing that happened to both your controllers that afternoon happened to me twice last week - the lead vanished leaving an empty shell. I was wondering if it was a Moulder and Scully thing???

Up until our visit to Lake View, Geoff, I'd had no trouble with them at all. /forum/smilies/angel_smiley.gif

What with the way you and Granville were wrapping them around the far trees it wasn't surprising to me that they give up the ghost.

A good job 'Saunders of the river' could get the boat out to retrieve them though.

Saying that, the ESP one gave up on me from the outset, that's why I couldn't get mine out as far.

Peter, my lines would be a pefect match for those old rods of yours.

Which reminds me, how are your runner beans coming along this year?
