Thanks mate, I had a feeling it may have closed
I reckon a big carp would actually go alright
What is the idea behind using an electric reel? Will it be physically hard for your mate to reel a 'normal' reel? Sorry but I am not aware of the effects of cerabral palsy. If her hands/wrists/arms are not physically affected, then may I suggest you use a normal reel (and that will make it reel!)...like everybody else would use and I would hazard a guess that your mate wants to be treated equally. One thing I do know...it is great that you are helping her out.smokin_reels wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 11:23 am.......................................................................................................................................................................................
My Mrs works as an OT\Carer and we have a long term client who is now a good personal friend of ours that has cerebral palsy.
One of her goals in life is to catch a fish and she knows that i dabble in that sort of stuff occasionally.
We were talking about how best to go about this and in order to make it as reel (pun intended) as possible , I am thinking using a an electric reel that has a button to wind in the line, would be the go, while being attached to a carp or a stockie.
The only problem is , I don't own one .

It depends on the severity of the clients condition. I have clients with cp and some still drive and walk at imd and have fairly active lives and some confined to a wheel chairApril Fool wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 2:21 pmWhat is the idea behind using an electric reel?

Edit....I just did a quick google on her condition....I should have done it before sorry, the electric reel may be a good option!
