Hi Folks,
First post and returned to angling after an 18 year absence, work and life duties removed my spare time.
I had, and still have, a Wayahead Rive Conti Box with lots of trays/drawers that I used to clip on and off dependant where I fished. I live a few mins away from the middle Severn and this is my fishing spot of choice, and a stick/waggler angler who reluctantly picked up the feeder rod. My walks to pegs could be anything from 1 - 5 meadows so bear this mind !
My Rive box has the Octopus legs bolted on, no footplate, limited accessories - and looking at modern boxes, it looks and feels outdated. So I've decided to buy new, I've looked at the Rive D25 and wondered whether my old Rive cassettes/drawers would fit this box ? And I've also looked at the Matrix S25. Finally, on either box, where do you store reels ?! Last week I carried 3 reels for stick, waggler, bolo, 1 heavier reel in case the barbel showed on the float and 1 reel for feeder work, so 5 reels.
Look forward to your input, thanks.
M.H.
