This is good news. A British designed and manufactured fishing reel of the highest calibre - the TG-F1. It may look 'very' familiar, but it's a brand new reel.  The TG-F1 is a beach/tournament casting multiplier made by the people behind Rocket Fuel. It's standard 6500 size and features hybrid ceramic bearings, lightweight spool, Smoothie drag and a machined one-piece frame. All good until you get to the price... £345! Wish the company all the best taking on the tackle giants. Won't do the industry any harm I don't suppose. Good luck!

Good luck to them.
But as an angler will it catch more fish than say a £100 Abu or Penn?
Stupid price really :confused:

If its any good it will sell out, people will pay for quality, not that pricey really when you consider that some paid the full asking price for this, ;D www.fostersofbirmingham.co.uk/SAZ6000 |

OK I am well known for fishing cheap when I can, but ask yerself this:
Which would I rather have, one of these or a new LCD telly (similar price). For me the answer would be one of these because what is on telly these days is 90 % carp and the reel would probably last for ever vs say 12 years for the telly.
