Is BigPhil the worst tackle tart in ireland?????

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

nope, just 6 multipliers on the inside of the lid.....
another couple in the bottom of the box....plus 4 fixed spools....all for different purposes and breaking strain and braids etc etc onlt for the big comps i carry that mind you

normally only take 7-8 reels(mix of multis and fixed spools) ....incase of birdys, or different species, conditions etc, as you know, we were caught unawares in scotland rampant wreckfish and i dont want that happening again.

asides that all, i am by far not the biggest tackle tart on the forum.....i just carry more at competitions than some others do......thank god for the ian golds trolley i bought to lug it all on!!! :lol:
