    Hi, I am looking to purchase a 10/11 size of salmon reel for my 50th birthday and don’t mind spending up to £900 for it. It would get used on the Tay and also trips to Norway where it needs to hold a fair amount of backing. What would be the recommendations ?

    Hugo Ross's shop in Wick is up for sale. Would be lovely to think someone buys it and retains it as an angling / shooting store but I won't hold my breath.

    What lighters do people like for melting down the inner tube? I've been using cheap disposable and wondering if a jet type is better as the flame will be more horizontal -- I like to hold my flame above the tube and melt it down assisted by gravity.
