Great vids LHU ? unlucky to loose that biggie ? I'd have put that at at least 29lb 1/2 ?
Sound of an old reel...can't whack it .
My Marquis reels have served me well for years
this the no/1 I use on mt 10ft lpxe .
What a racket they make when you get a good fish on especially an early springer like this one.
I've had a wee bit criticism on the handling but it was a very lively fish and a difficult one...at one point I thought it was never going to stop.
I also use Youngs reels which are just as robust and noisy as the Marquis.

Serves you right for being too lazy to stumble down the pool after the mini leviathan.
I'm no really bothered Gordon ?Serves you right for being too lazy to stumble down the pool after the mini leviathan.
I had guessed that much, but I felt the need to comment.I'm no really bothered Gordon ?
Falkus never mentioned that ?I had guessed that much, but I felt the need to comment.
I think you's should all have a get together and sort it out the old fashioned way...?
Surely you mean ? ?
Back to old reels......Ard, I was warned when muttering about a visit to your parish...Alaska....to take a near silent Gulfstream & not to take the Hardy Perfect 41/4'' as it would attract the Ursus Arctos Horibillis tribe .
I was bemused that the UAH group should take a close interest in an ancient reel from the Borders. It seems they hear it and come running as to a dinner bell. ( My poor catch rate might spare me! )
Same with their cousins from the Americanus and Maritimus families.
Is this true and if not.....
Are your woods bear-lite?

I'm surprised, well perhaps that's a step too far, that it's not occurred to you that if you followed the rules and didn't post offensive material no one would ever report you. This isn't a school playground.Theres a childish concerted effort to "get DCH oot OUR FORUM" ?
Surprised mods havent cleaned this one up yet, oh that's right ….. the snitches are the bitches ?

Personally I like the Marquis salmon reels???♂?♂?
Facts are if you look up Don CurlyHorny, Don Curly Horny, Klink Eastwood , Cyclops but NOT JB SPRING I REPEAT NOT JB SORING, you will see I've started plenty fishing related threads, trips, advice and quite a few long runners in the lounge … all amicable, so salad dodger you are factually wrongI can't recall you, either engaging in a meaningful debate or starting a fishing thread.
No doubt you'll reincarnate yourself, again?, under a new username.
yes I might, because the forum allows you to change your username , so if you have a problem go speak to the moderators , other than that I find your post to me very offensive.
Errrrhhhh Loop Classics are nice too. ??
Quite like the 8-some of that of The 51stErrrrhhhh Loop Classics are nice too. ??
And here's a salmon on a marquis.
I agree the sound of an rachett reel is great if the fish is on a long run, but the opposite if bone fishing with a guide, it’s believed the fish are scared off with the sound on a noisy reel, some guides won’t fish with you if you don’t have a silent reel.
I've just come back from holiday to a raft of reported posts with yet more childish arguing and abuse. I have deleted a lot of posts, banned one member, however it is clear that this was NOT one-sided and I was really disappointed to see some of the extremely unpleasant posts on this thread. I will not hesitate to ban more people if this starts again. Please try to keep your interactions friendly on here, remember there is a human being behind the username and if you haven't got something civil to say, don't say it.
Single hander ? Marquis 8/9?......A very neat and tidy piece of fishing and a fine unfussy release.And here's a salmon on a marquis.

Nooo.... did they say that? I was told that story by a charming guide in the Seychelles...and had to buy him a drink when he confessed it was a leg-pull...we'd caught plenty of bones on a shouty Shilton and adequately noisy SA Mastery and an Able .I agree the sound of an rachett reel is great if the fish is on a long run, but the opposite if bone fishing with a guide, it's believed the fish are scared off with the sound on a noisy reel, some guides won't fish with you if you don't have a silent reel.
Bones don't like noise but that's about jumping up and down and fist pumping antics when the tyro succeeds in spotting one for the first time and then landing it.
