I only use a pair of cressi garras ( check spellin ) but they seem to do the trick, i was told not to go to stiff to start with,,, but whatever your comfortable with i guess |

But there are several brands that use the same unbranded molding as Picasso (your spearo shop assistant can help you identify these). Being able to change blades in standard pockets is an advantage over the Esclapez. |
Just a point, a search through the forums here will give you lots of reasons to put a flag on your float. So, if you get one without a flag, make sure you you put one on it straight away. They are not hard to make - I used a wire one made out of some number 8 wire for ages - just needs a counter weight of lead on the bottom. It's yet easier to make them like the Wild Blue ones, and you can do that with some cable ties and a plumbing fitting and a small bit of fibreglass and sew your own flag. Of course with all the hassle you may as well buy one with a flag fixed on it for a small amount extra.
Ronstan floats BTW are still about the most versatile float there is. Very simple, they last forever (Mine is about 15 years old and going strong). Well worth the money when compared to floats made of other material that are not as hard wearing.Tasman and Golden Bay snapper still running hot We are not far away from daylight... Read More >
