I’ve used the cs10 3000 and 4000. reels since 2017 and still using them and as smooth as the day I brought them .
My fishing has changed over the last 4 seasons and moved more into more specialised fishing .
Long chuck bream fishing I’ve been using the cs10 5500 fishing braid the larger spool size is perfect for distance where less resistance on the cast is needed and more cranking on the retrieve .The drag on these are also smooth and reliable .
Carp fishing I have a pair of the cs10 7500 for a venue I fish where 25 plus wraps is a short chuck and again bullet proof landed fish over 30lb and again faultless .
I recently punched from you a CS 10 7500 LC reel and I must say it is the best reel I have had in my lifetime fishing
over 60 years. It is very solidly built and gives you a lot of confidence when playing big carp and barbel which I specifically target. I fish Collingham weir regularly and it is a brutal piece of water with fast water, snags and large barbel . Long casts are a must and the playing of fish is a masterclass of angling so the equipment must be first class. I will have to now save my pennies for a second reel for next year to complete my set up. Thanks for providing an excellent reel, head and shoulders above the rest.
