Much as I love my pins I wish I'd had a closed face with me yesterday on the LIF. I have 2 Swedish built 501's in the shed but Santa is pestering me so I thought I might try a new cf reel.
Any recommendations ?he latest incarnation of the 506 looks a bit plasticky and the 507 looks a bit big & heavy. I wish Id had a 706 when they were about..I liked the look and feel of those but put the one I nearly had back.
Normally I'd have no problem with a second hand reel but I'm not so keen about a 2nd hand cf reel for some reason.....and to buy a 2nd hand 506 when I;ve already got a 501 that I know works seems a bit daft.
Yes...I know. Get the 501 out but I'm trying to get Mrs S off my case & somehow wrapping up one of my old reels I dont think is going to work !
