dazbrowne 13 372 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Bellman all the way pal wouldn't have deben shite round my terriers neck no choice for the ferrets though 1 Quote Link to post
howdeeposxxt 1,449 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I use the deben 40ft and never failed very accurate. If it's what you want go for it. Everyone seems to be using the bnf tho. 2 Quote Link to post
TerrierKie 72 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've noticed the bellman & Flint is the top choice and will always be top choice cheers for the replies lads 2 Quote Link to post

man o kent 269 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have heard they are spot on for accuracy too. Horses for courses mate, use what is safe and in your budget 1 Quote Link to post
howdeeposxxt 1,449 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 They are alot more accurate at pin pointing than the BnF but less search range, The guys i dig with use the BnF and also agree. Im not telling you to pick deben over bnf but it has improved more than the old 16ft and will without fail get you to your terrier dont believe it wont it has got me through some very deep dig. It will do the job for less a cost. But their is a reason why people prefer the BnF over the deben so if ya have the dosh get the BnF . If you loose a terrier using the deben you are a fool tho cause it work very well. 2 Quote Link to post

Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Must been some dig 35ft plus im not been smart either Fieldsport had you bnf collar on as well or what happened.Three hole small rabbity place that Unknowingly went into old ancient sandstone drain. Visited this place few times, no reason to think anything other than small rabbity place. Could not get mark on deben and after a while came to conclusion collar was broke. Entered a bellman and had a fag then same happened again, twenty min search bellman took us to what we looking for. 1 Quote Link to post
