slosh 20

[fishytail]

bought a year ago only used twice but cant get away with it, seems very loose and not a comparison to my 525 mag, however heard very good reports??

so the plan is to check the breaks but the instructions are not clear, a fools guide would be good, incidentally are they good reels.

Tightlines

One of the best reels in my opinion.
What do you mean by loose?

 

[Scotty91]

If ya won't rid all have it Tuesday just drop me a pm mate

 

[fishytail]

Just opened it up and no breaks in that's probably why loose (difficult to control) Scotty I will give it a couple of shots with breaks in if no good will let u know. Fishing a comp in hythe in two weeks and apparently a big casting venue so trying to improve distance bought a triplex 16 ft today will use penn or slosh or might by surf caster 8000 with braid as apparently good combo, any other suggestions more than welcom oh will be using 3 hook clip up/downs


Cheers

[Scotty91]

And good luck on ya comp

Ah cheers national finals expecting good bags but some of the lads are v good casters as they concentrate a lot on casting down south saying that one of me Scottish (scottish international) mates who is fishing is a tornament caster and he is unbelievable!!

I use mine with the small set of brake blocks and red rocket oil in the bearings and it's always been spot on. The large set just slow it down a bit too much for me.

 

[fishytail]

So are the smaller white ones all you have in and the red the red slow it the most??? Normally just Abu and penn man apologies if basic q's just not got into the slosh yet

Cheers

Yes, the small white set. Brakes are a personal preference, some people don't have them in, I only use one in my Abu reels, but in the Slosh 20 the small set work for me.

 

[fishytail]

Cheers mate very good info

 

[skott]

I find one red block works perfect

 

[canman]

Stick a single rig bead, the small green luminous ones, works perfectly, can whack it as hard as you like.

 

[fishingmark]

Brakes are a personal preference.

Point proved!

 

[fishytail]

cheers all great advice might try tomorrow with new triplex 16ft and see what happens ;-)

rutherfords does a mono mag for them fitted for 20 quid much easier to control then brake blocks

 

[toonboymc]

im not a professional angler so bear with me can i take out one of the brakes in my slosh 20 and would that get me out further or would it give me problems cheers

you can take them out but as rutherford says to make your car go faster would you take the brakes out?lol with the old block breaks there is a fine line between fast and to fast for different conditions you have to toy around bigger smaller blocks thicker thinner oils to get the right balance
