Shimano Rear Drag Reel Spare Spools

The Shakespeare Ganza rear-drag reel reviewed

Advantages: 2 spools, 2 handles, looks good
Disadvantages: nothing major

I got this reel for Christmas a couple of years ago from my late Mum's older sister's family (I actually asked for the Potenza, but the local tackle shop was out of them... so got this newer Ganza instead). It's available in in 5 different sizes for various types of fishing: 2403/030 - Holds 170m of 4lb Line 2403/035 - Holds 210m of 3lb Line 2403/040 - Holds 200m of 8lb line 2403/045 - Holds 230m of 10lb line 2403/050 - Holds 250m of 15lb line I guess the 030 version is for general coarse fishing...... Roach / Rudd / Perch / small Tench, etc. The 035 version is almost certainly for budding Bob Nudds & Alan Scotthorne's, as it's the only one in the range supplied with 2x Shallow Aluminium Match spools. The 040 version is the one I've got, I reckon that it's best use is for Chub, Barbel & Larger Tench + Carp in low ...

Review of Shakespeare Ganza rear-drag reel (2403)

Shimano Dura Ace Rear Mech (RD-7700-SS)

Advantages: Top of the range "bling" rear mech
Disadvantages: 9 speed "only", superceeded by RD-7800 10-speed version

I bought this rear derailleur to replace an Ultegra mech when upgrading my bike from 8 to 9-speeds (well, 16 to 18 speed really with my double front chainset). Apparently, this mech is also compatible with 8-speed systems, you just need to change the cable mounting position. Dura Ace is the name of Shimano's top of the range group of bicycle components, or "groupset", for road race bikes, and the 9-speed 7700-series was introduced to the public in 1997 after Shimano sponsored riders using Dura-Ace 7700 series equipped bikes in 1996. Year by year, it's been enhanced, and this review is of rear mech from the 2004 model year. For the non-bike-ophiles among you, the rear mech (or mechanism) is the device at the back end of the bike that moves the chain across the muliple cogs (cassette) on the back wheel to change gear - bigger cog ...

Review of Shimano DuraAce

Rear Window Reworked

Advantages: A good idea for reworking "Rear Window"...
Disadvantages: ...but it had a poor script and lost a lot of what made the original plot so good

Rear Window (1998) - FILM ONLY REVIEW Certificate: PG (UK) Running Time: 89 Minutes Director: Jeff Bleckner Voyeurism is the act of observing the lives of others, often, though not always, for sexual gratification; it is a process by which the observer gets more satisfaction from viewing others than from experiencing their own lives. There is a little bit of this tendency in all of us, as what is watching a film if not opening up a window on the lives of others, be they real or fictional? It is no surprise, therefore, that the film industry has from time to time chosen voyeurism as the subject of its stories. A widely regarded classic of the theme is Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Rear Window", an engrossing and suspenseful examination of what it is like to be a voyeur, first enforced by circumstance and later pursued ...
