No joy locally. Plenty of people locally will do 3 strand anchor splice but not 8 strand.

I need a chain splice not a back splice and it is quite physically demanding with all the cross whipping as you are lifting a couple of feet of chain all the time plus trying to get the links lined up. A back splice which is rope into rope is less physical but as I have 14 mm. rope, I have been advised that it could be too bulky to easily pass the finger. Mike Hall has someone who used to work at Salterns who says he can do it. I will post how I get on. If not, I have spoken to Jimmy Green Marine who will do it if I can get it to them. Could be an excuse for a couple of days in Devon ?

Jerry, I think I might know who you mean. Allan.

Thanks. I asked him about seven years ago and he recommended Pete. However, things could well have changed since then. Allan.

I have just replaced the finger kit on my Lowrance X2 Windlass as it had shattered. This would appear to be because some of the chain links are slightly out line due to wear and tear. The original splicing and whipping was done some eight years ago by Pete at Quay West at Parkstone Bay Marina. He no longer does this. Does anyone know a good splicer in the Poole/Cobbs area? Allan.

I have one as well. Happy to help.

Hi Tom, have checked texts but nothing. Please give me a ring and let me know what you have. Multipliers are usually OK, but there are a few fixed spools which were made for the European Market and spares are unavailable. We have pick up points in Bournemouth and Poole and several Club Members in Christchurch who attend Meetings. Please give me a ring on 07758356474. It would help if I had an idea of which reels you want us to work on. Hope all is well and that you are managing to get out occasionally. Allan.

Have just filled it in. Pretty straight forward. Allan.

Spares are hard to get but there are some on Facebook/ Gumtree. Prices start from a couple of pounds. I need some for spares and some will be serviced and given to a tackle shop that gives donated tackle to youngsters. So I want a few for variety of reasons. Allan.

Wanted old Mitchell 600, 602 and 624 (Captain) multiplier reels. If you have any of these in your sheds and stores, I can find a good home for them. Donation to RNLI. Can collect locally, leave in local tackle shops, Poole Sea Angling, Wessex Angling, Bournmouth Fishing lodge or Green's at Cobbs Quay or bring to next Club Meeting. Condition working or not, in bits or or in a bag. Many thanks. Allan.

Perhap secret Ray Mark or half Bank? Near Old Harry. Allan.
