Looking forward to trying it out regards Micky

So idiot me and many other fishers I learned today I clean my reels the wrong way . I’ve now learned to wipe reel over with a damp cloth then a dry cloth . Now the issues with the Diawa Laguna 1000 that I had ( besides the rust I found on the handle ) since 2014 new . The size 1000 of this Diawa Laguna compared to a Shimano Sienna 1000 of the same age it was half the size basically. Made the spool of the reel to small to handle 6 lb braid I was using . This new 1000 reel is a better size . Will clean my reels differently from now on .

Ok this reel I remembered in the tackle shop yep 1000 size bought it and it’s spooled with j8 braid 6 lb hopefully sometime this week I’ll test it out .

Thank you Adrian they had some but not the size range or some reason they didn’t have them in stock this brand they had was a few hundred out of my price range

Thanks HB

Thanks Adrian something to look at

I guess I’d better go looking one day when I have time .

I’m getting their Adrian free public transport for me now . I’m trying to do what I do to relieve stress lol then I go lure fishing . Do love my lure fishing concentrating on shallows at present . I’ll get there in the end thanks Adrian

Looks fantastic and cold your a way better fisher than me

Seeing the Diawa Laguna 1000 from around 10 years ago has basically gone to a better place not sure how I missed the corrosion on it . I do have a shimano sienna in better shape from that age and a larger reel I’m using . If I decide to go looking for a better quality 1000 reel which isn’t to much money but great for flicking hardbodies around any clues ? hope that makes sense

Thanks for this Adrian

So after testing both colours combat will land bream

Thanks they aren’t to hard to get out of tiny STs with pliers .

Silly question are the hooks barbless they come out very easy when landed

Weed on beaches or sand flats at the lake or the local .
