hi i am thinking hard wether or not to get a d25, but i dont rely no which i shud get a st, rx or xt what is the differnce with them and is there any good websites to have a look at or shud i just go to nathans and foster and have a look there? i dont want to spend more than 700 tho so which one and y plz

[Aidan]

is it the f2 trays that u by as add ons??

[Smudger]

Pop to fosters.

Go for the ST comp 25 solid box unless you weigh over 16 stone ????

Depending on your height is where the add ons cost.

the 36 is where your money starts to get chewed up cause preston immitations have not copied the dims yet but give it time ????

[Aidan]

ok cheers i weight about 9 stone so i shud be ok then and i am a short arse so i wont need to make it much bigger. i have look at ted carter and they are doing one at 570 on special but i see if fosters will price macth it

Octoplus adaptors are available for the 36 so the preston side trays, bump bars etc. will fit no problems.

wheres the best (cheapest) place to buy my box from?

Hi Aiden

Have you considered going down the secon hand route.

You should be able to get a good condition ST25 with plenty of additional winder trays, side trays and a wheel kit for around £400. It would cost you a fortune to bring a new box up to this kind of spec.

The cheapest place would be Cloughbally Mill Angling Centre - call Mark Lictenburg on 02866 322008 and say Simon Young told you to call, they are the main agents for Rive in the UK so he should beat anyones price.

Ok thanks for that. But I am goin to see if I can get a second hand one like mark said

Hi Aiden

There are a couple on ebay today starting at £200 one is red and one is blue.

Please be aware that you cannot get the red trays from Rive so extra trays could be difficult to get hold of.
