- Berkley Trilene Big Game
i have my spinning gear spooled up with this and i find it works well in both lure fishing for pike and in the sea for bass casts nice not to heavy and a nice retrieve aswell also it lays nice on spool for the price not a bad line - Pro Rigs
Great bagell bars and urges and great service highly recommend - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
Have had mine since I started fishing, nearly 9 years ago, still going strong, light weight, have added a single cup up the centre to fish the rod very high, and a clip on the leg to rush rod very low, have added Ian Golds trace bar ( 4 rigs out at a time usually enough in the matches I do) and use with Ian Golds trays which I have also had for ages. Perfect! - Penn 515 Mag2
Not as smooth as a Fathom, but mag brakes make up for it , pleasant reel to use and good gearing. - Conoflex Nemesis Plus
A true classic from the Conoflex stable A nice mixed to rough ground rod that has stood the test of time - Baits R Us
A fantastic bait supplier. Delivery is excellent, it always arrives well packed and still frozen, I've even had live rag by post and its still been top notch. If you live locally you can phone and collect bait too (saves postage charge). Bait prices are really good overall. I also like their smaller 'handy pack' sizes on bait like squid for a quick fishing session. They also now have a stock of terminal tackle, leads etc, which is really handy. - Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips
'The One That Got Away' For the past 6 months i have been using the gemini splash downs,at first i was a little but skeptical of them releasing every time,but i can honestly say 99% of the time they release with hooks below 7/0. I have used these on a range if rigs from heavy duty cod rigs with 100lb rig body to loop rigs and pulley droppers. These clips are perfect for me and my style of casting as i cast of the ground. EH - Grauvell 15L Kool Bag
I love the size of this cool bag. It will take several packs of squid and mackerel as well as elastic, scissors, knife etc. I like the single no fuss compartment and the over size zips. Very good value for money. - Grauvell Teklon Gold
This, for me, was one of those super lines full of promise that failed to deliver. The over enthusiastic breaking strains were a joke. The lighter ones especially seemed particularly weak and could be snapped in the hands. Pity because it may have put people off of trying very fine lines with a claimed high breaking strain. And there are good one's out there! - Daiwa SL30SH
The 'Slosh 30' is my favourite reel for uptide fishing off of my boat in the Bristol Channel. The reel casts well and most importantly it is strong enough to cope with large fish that that can really pull hard when they use the force of the large tide pull to their advantage. They are easy to maintain and are very reasonably priced for their quality. I pair mine up with Daiwa TDX410 uptide rods. - Harrison Torrix P3
Very powerful rough ground rod yet slim and light, Great bite detection at range even on smaller fish. - Channel Tripods
Good solid, simple tripods that do everything you need. Dave Lovelock is a stickler for quality and you can see this from the high grade all aluminium construction. The accessories available are all of a high spec too. - Varivas 365 Flurocarbon
I love using this as a short leader when lure fishing. Has a lovely smooth feel to it. Always find it best to run it through my hands under a bit of pressure just to take any memory out where it has been coiled on the small spool. - Penn Fathom 15
Wicked reel .well made aswell . Just a shame it don't come magged - Daiwa Saltist Hyper-Speed 20HSH
This is a fantastic piece of kit. I have one for shore fishing and if you are thinking of doing the same the first thing you need to do is get the reel magged which is what I done. It is very light and well built and just shouts quality as soon as you pick up. Casting is a delight and although designed as a boat reel, once magged it is a competent casting reel on par with any other shore reel. The ratchet/ clicker is the same quality as that of the black and gold Saltist's. The lever drag is very well thought out. Bring the drag right back it goes into free spool for casting and as you move it forward the drag increases the resistance. A mark on top of the reel indicates where to set the drag for striking, and you can move the drag a little more forward to increase the resistance further ideal for breaking free of snags. The drag can be fine tuned for the breaking strain of you line by the dial on the side of the lever drag. The retrieve is smooth and quick ideal when chasing up a slack liner, or fishing rough ground where a quick retrieve can make a difference when recovering your end tackle. The torque is nice too where you still have to play the fish and not winch it in. It is well balanced and looks awesome in the black and red. It is a high quality reel as you would expect from Daiwa. It is not a cheap reel by any mean, but for the high speed retrieve and lever drag it is reasonably priced and the quality makes it worth every penny. Daiwa has done it again, keep up the great work. - Shimano Trinidad 14
Excellent construction, a very well made real indeed. Not the best reel for ultra long distance casting but if you want a reel that keeps on winching when other's give up, this is the one. - Northern Norway Shore Fishing, Bodo
We've experienced some of the best fishing of our lives at Bodo and this was due to Simon's in depth knowledge of the local marks. He is a fantastic host, very hospitable and will take time to answer all your questions before, during and even after your trip! If you want a comfortable apartment that is close to all the best fishing marks you will probably ever visit in your life then really this is the place for you. Price is also very competitive. - Reel Deal, Watchet, Somerset. Skipper: Dan Hawkins
Really great skipper Put you on the fish with good advice on tactics also fillets your catch for you With Plenty of tea and coffee to hand and good banter nothing is too much Will go out on his boat again - Leeda Icon Bass Sport
Very slim light weight blank with a surprising amount of power for a 11'6 rod , the bite detection is really good picking up the faintest of bites even in moderately windy conditions , I paid 69.99 from bobotackle and for the money it's absolutely fantastic , it's a great looking rod too , all in all I'm very pleased with mine , it'll chuck a 3oz lead far enough for the sort of fishing I do with it , although it will 'lob' a 4 oz weight I.m.h.o. It's better suited to a 3 oz with bait . I've used quite a number of different rods in the past but this has got to be my favourite , I'll be sticking with it for a few years for definite . - Breakaway Impact Shield
Best by far for the bigger hooks and baits don't release on cast if used correctly beware of cheap copies that are brittle and fall apart. - Damiltech Solutions
The first product I bought off Dave was the rig tidy, I broke it while fitting (totally my fault) without hesitation I received a replacement despite saying it was my own fault. Top bloke and top products. - Century
I have been using Century rods since 2002 and over the years I have owned a multide of different models. While on one trip in 2006 I broke a tip section to one of my rods entirely my fault. I contacted Century explained I was an idiot and could they help. Sadly they could do nothing about me being an idiot but they were able to help with the rod. Within a week new tip section was in my hands direct from Century. Following a similar incident recently, I wondered if there customer service would be any different now. Thankfully they were will extremely helpful and could not do enough to help. I have owned a lot of rods over the years and I always come back to Century, but current rods are a joy to use, makes you wonder how on earth they can improve on what is an awesome range of rods. - Sakuma 545 Manta Extra
Good strong hook and stays sharp I have had a few snap on me tho and don't realy use th.much any more - Namix Leads
Perfect for tucking a big bait behind. The design of the lead ensures that the flat back not only guards the bait in flight, but also allows the sinker to dig in to the sea bed helping it to hold bottom. - Vass
Fantastic uk company with exelent clothing range and wadders - Breakaway Fastlink Clips
By far Strongest clip Available , I also like the mini fast links for lighter fishing, Still extremely strong - Penn Fathom 15
I've owned 4 for a good couple years now. Brilliant cranking power, smooth casting, nice loud ratchet, solid metal construction and a nice chunky handle to get hold of.. Out of the box they are very capable reels but personally feel they benefit from having a mono mag conversion to make them more controlable and eliminate the issue of break blocks wearing out so fast.. even with the added cost of a mag conversion which is around £30 they are still very good value for money. - Musto Gore-Tex Middle Layer Salopettes
Simply the best salopettes I've ever had. Warm, tough wearing, reinforced knee pads, well fitted, easy movement, tight fastening at the base - 100% waterproof GoreTex. I'd go so far as to say they are the single best piece of fishing clothing I've ever purchased. Well worth the money, will las for years and have a full guarantee on remaining waterproof for 10 years. Keep them clean and this should be much longer. - North East Tackle Supplies, Hartlepool
Great tackle shop loads of gear to choose from good prices and great staff also give great info - Zziplex Profile
I have been using a pair of Profiles as my main go to rods for a about three years now and I find them ideal for my style of fishing in the Bristol Channel. I use them in the matches that are held around the top of the BC when we are fishing for codling, whiting, flounder. I have invested in a match tip for the summer season when I am targeting smaller fish like Silver eels and sole. In the norm I am using 5 and 6oz leads and the Profile handles these with baits with no problem. I have even been using them on my trips to Norway when I fish the Trondheim Fjord at Skarnsundet targeting anything from dabs to double figure cod. The quality of the build on the rods will depend on where they are sourced from with many of the large tackle shops using their own build services rather than a factory build. - TronixPro Cobra GT
I recently won the Cobra gt 4.5 and must say on first impressive well thought out rod but I find it to be a little to heavy and the tip imo lets its down when using lighter leads for flounders and the likes don't get me wrong its a great rod but more suited to bigger leads and baits it will put a bait a long way but I find other rods on the market give better value for money if you want a conti rod to fish light and heavy leads - Wight Huntress III, Portsmouth, Hampshire. Skipper: Glen Milligan
Fast boat, great skipper and good platform to fish from. Baiting / cutting table centre-deck is a good addition. Glen always works hard to put you on the fish. And there's plenty of cups and tea and coffee too. - Sunset Amnesia
Great line can tie knots easy great line for any shore rig good price can't stop buying it excellent stuff - Olivers Angling, Clevedon
Great little shop every thing you need under one roof - Berkley Trilene Big Game
Used to use this in the hi viz green that's now discontinued. Other than being a bit thick for its breaking strain, it was massively strong and pretty hard. Benefits from a good bedding in first though to avoid fluffing. - Century
Having used many models of Century I find them to superb rods, although they can be a bit to powerful when it comes to what they describe as a match rod ! (Supermatch mk2) the only model I didn't enjoy was the Sport mk2, hence the mark down. - LED Lenser H7R.2
excellent bit of kit this head torch its nice and lightweight sits well on the head the brightness is very good and the ability to adjust the beam from flood to spot is very handy i find a good charge will easy last a session also i bought a in car charger aswell for when i need the extra bit f charge very waterproof aswell have used this in very heavy rain with no problems at all yes i highly recommend this - Sonik
seems these have been tarred since the problems with a batch of sk3 rods a few years back but when they brought out the gravity surf they ticked plenty of boxes for the match angler light,great finish and most of all a excellent fishing tip and will send a bait a long way with a simple otg cast - Cox & Rawle Meat Hooks
Never had one snap on me very very strong and super sharp - IMAX Protec Smock
I have had mine a few months now and will only use in light rain or as a general jacket to keep the wind out. It is lovely and lightweight and a great for the summer. But in moderate to heavy rain the water finds a way in sadly. Such a shame it falls short of the mark. - Gemini Tackle
Quality gear use all the time - Namix Leads
Only leads I use these days and can be sourced for a very reasonable price. very aerodynamic and the flat back is deal for streamlining the bigger baits. - Century Kompressor S
Cracking bit of kit for mixed to clean ground casts wonderful with a 5oz lead plus bait - Varivas Tapered Shockleaders
Imo one of the best tapered leaders on the market a must have on the light lines,fixed spool and continental set up. - Damiltech Solutions Tray Toppa
Just got me self a tray topper and i couldnt be more pleased top bit of kit and i will be buying more products in the future thanks - Daiwa 7HT Turbo
Really great products, great service great price n easy to fit - Breakaway Conversion Accessory Tray
See a lot of people having to modify these as their not great for holding the leads, makes a handy shelvebut the moulded holes for actually holding your leads isn't great - Berkley whiplash
I like this braid purely on its dia to strength ratio it flys off the spool and never had an issues with it. - Sakuma Nite Crystal
Love this line, and not too expensive. Reliable and supple, my no 1 choice of line - Gemini Splash Down Leads
Sadly this should be one of the best baits clips around but I have had more non releases that releases. I have used all manor of sized hooks as well. In fairness I have been using flat backed leads that may well be the reason for the release failure. But for me I will not be using them again.
