- Sakuma Nite Crystal
Love this line, and not too expensive. Reliable and supple, my no 1 choice of line - Damiltech Solutions Tray Toppa
Had problems with leads sticking in the breakaway tray, speaking to dave about it, he recommended trying the toppa. Problem solved. Weights held in place all the time, but easy to remove when needed. Perfect addition to any breakaway tray! - Daiwa
I don't think you can beat daiwa rods and reels Absolute joy to use Their after sales service is second to none - Breakaway Spinlink Clips
Used to use the snap swivel links. Never looked back since I started using the breakaway spin links. Quick and easy exchange of rigs when fishing matches. - Ultima Enigma Super Snood
Strong line i use this for many of my hook lengths - Suffix Zippy Shock leader
stunning in the 60lb for shockleader, no thumb slip when power casting either which is a massive bonus because some leaders really do slip. also in 80lb makes great rig body - Damiltech Solutions
Excellent thought out ideas and manufactured to a high standard,Dave's very helpful and will always go the extra mile to please! - BNHG Guides
The fuji green insert guide Probably the all time most popular guide ever made, being a little dated now people are moving awy from them to the more mordern Alconites and Kwag guides I still really like these and have them on a few of my rods - Kamasan B940
Used these for years before Varivas were available. Very sharp amd strong for their guage. - Century Tip Tornado Match
A great 5oz and bait casting rod with a lot of power in reserve another nice rod from Century - Breakaway Fastlink Clips
Tried and tested Stood test of time Often copied but not same quality Never failed Great product like most breakaway stuff - Ultima Red Ice
Oh dear... Other than the fact that it shows up extremely well in the dark, I can't stand this one. Line is a very personal choice, but I found this to be springy, brittle and weak. After you have snagged and pulled for a break it becomes nigh-on useless. - Suffix Tritanium
Had a bulk spool of 19lb, ok on clean beaches but resistance to abrasion is very poor. I won't be using again - Solent Tackle, Southsea
Great Service from Pete At solent Tackle.. Very Knowledgeable about local fishing and Bait is always second to none.... Great selsection of tackle and rods.and reels... Been using the shop for years and Will always go back!! Great banter ... 5 stars from me... cheers solent tackle - Sonik
Sonik seem to come from nowhere and brought us the gravity surf. What a fantastic piece of kit it is too! The ultimate scratching tool for incredibly low price. Built in the Colmic factory, so it's top quality. Ultra light weight but extremely strong, over head thumping up to 190g no problem. Suitable for fixed spool & multiplyer, this rod has cast 200 yards plus on the field many times. The tip is a glass carbon mix, which makes it both crisp yet super sensitive - ideal for when you're fishing in stronger tides - the tip sets but there is still room for bite indication. The tip was actually a USP for me personally. Great rod that comes highly recommended by me. - Daiwa Saltist 20H
Fantastic reels very strong yet can send a bait very far it comes into its own over the rough grounds - Sakuma Flurocarbon
Great stuff definatley has its place, but compared to other brands i feel its a bit Stiff and brittle so to speak... But still good stuff and will do the job its supposed to do - Shimano PowerPro Braid
Barely use braid but this is great stuff can't fault it great stuff - Trabucco Serenity
Good rod to get going on Continental type rods. Only suitable for fishing in areas with little tide though, as in any reasonable tide movement the tip pulls round too far to be able to detect any bites (unless a drop back). I've used it a lot on clean ground and surf beaches for Flounder, Bass and Golden Grey, and landed a surprising 15b Conger using it paired with a fixed spool loaded with 12b braid and on a size 10 hook! The cushion provided by the tip and mid section of the rod really helped with the lunges of the conger, that allowed me to land it on such light line. The butt maintained enough power to pump the fish in. It doesn't pretend (price wise) to be anything more than an entry level rod, but it serves that purpose. Build is ok - good guides but cheap whipping / hi build. Lot's of browning very soon after purchase even when washing down. - Olivers Angling, Clevedon
Excellent quality bait and good selection of tackle. Graham (owner of Olivers Angling) makes a variety of rigs up that the shop sells, which are all of a high standard. - Asso Invisilk
Won this line in one of the comps in "the one that got away" and what can I say it's good quality line and won't let you down. Used it for my hook lengths in comps and is really good quality smooth line - Penn Cool Bag
A nice simple single cavity cool bag. Most bags end up stinking after a while but last week I got brave and put mine in the washing machine! The liner is detachable and can be wiped out. The zip seems pretty decent and should last a while too. I like this. - Varivas Full Circle
Brilliant for light line bass fishing at short range with crab baits. Just let the fish take the bait and then tighten up. The hook point will find its way into the lip nine times out of ten. - Skarnsundet Fjordcentre
A first class fishing destination! Dreamy back drop with scenery to die for! Put in the rod hours and receive some fantastic results! I've visited Skansundet on many occasions, at many different times of the year and I've never once left disappointed. Add to that Phil Dale is an incredible host, making every trip a really pleasurable holiday. - Shakespeare Salt Tripod
Although well built I found few probs I don't like about this rest Locking legs to long can't get tripod low enough when needed and the rods sit to far apart for my personal liking and go off at angles not straight up I took leg lock kits off And bought need head and cups to make rods sit how I'd like them I do like how compact it goes down - 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 - Skarnsundet Fjordcentre
Skarnsundet has a lot going for it as a fishing destination, but most importantly it has fish willing and eager to participate in your lure and bait fishing sessions. You’ll soon see how effective your fiish minnows, shads or savage gear sandeels are when you show up and start casting them out. You will be shore fishing in beautiful surroundings and boat fishing in calm conditions using light gear to catch some very attractive fish. Our group of four were picked up at Trondheim Airport by Phill and taken to the decent accommodation. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and the kitchen and living room had everything we needed. We choose the shore guided package and Phill took us to different marks each day to fish. Then at the end of the trip, he whisked us back to the airport in plenty of time for our departing flight. I think the fact that all of us want to return again speaks volumes. For me personally it was dream fishing holiday before I went and I wasn’t disappointed. Let Phill sort you out with some great fishing. I posted a more detailed report at the link below on the WSF forum. http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/threads/skarnsundet-fjordcenter-norway-trip-nov-8-14.4727936/ - Varivas Saltwater Champions
I love these hooks whilst targeting small fish at chesil but strong enough when connecting in to a bigger one Top quality - DIP Chromium Pro
Unbelievable mono. I used it in the .45mm version for fishing in Norway. Usually this equates to around 25lb breaking strain, but the DIP Chromium states it at 62lb. Some desk checks confirmed the breaking strain, but I was even more amazed when I got round to using it. Little stretch, supple, great abrasion resistance, still strong when sightly damaged - ticks absolutely every box for me. Hands down the best line I've ever used - doesn't weaken after pulling for a break like many others. - Princeton Tec Apex
This was my primary light until I upgraded to the Petzl Vario. For the money you not only get ample light output but a solid build and a five year warranty! My favourite thing about this lamp is that it runs on AA batteries and you could either carry spares in your trace wallet or get a set of rechargeable batteries and a charger for less than a tenner if you fish regularly. Be sure to go for the latest model which kicks out a whopping 275 Lumens though. - Conoflex Nemesis Plus
I used one of these for a couple of years and it was a lovely rod. Very powerful but quite unforgiving if you get your timing wrong on the cast. Mine met its end by being left propped against a wall and the sun coming through the window put a permanent bend in the tip! - Varivas Seriola iKstyle
I've received some of these hooks, and on testing strength and sharpness, they appear excellent. Love the pattern. I've yet to fish with them so will update my review when I have. - Varivas Big Mouth
Good strong cheap hooks that dont snap perfect - Kamasan B940M
A nice fine wire hook ideal for flatties - Varivas Sport
My favourite line to date I use 20lb and 25lb. It is very abrasion resistant, it knots very well (I use a spider hitch). Casts lovely and if you're unlucky birds nest it, it is normally ease to unpick. It is also cheap enough for replacing on a regular basis. - Damiltech Solutions General Purpose Utility Tray
Bought this last year, I keep my scissors, bait elastic, baiting needles and all the small assortments in this, one of those products that once you got you wander how you lived without it. No more tipping the box upside down because your bait elastic has slipped to the bottom. - Tronix Pro Envoy Mag
Feels cheap when you take it out the box, and unfortunately it behaves like that too. Glad to see they now sell the power handle on its own, as this is the only part of the reel that impresses, and is a useful upgrade for a well made original Abu. If you only do a little bit of fishing and it's all over perfectly clean ground with no weed and only fishing for small fish... You may get some use out of this reel. For anything other than that, instead of paying £50-£60 for this, pick up a second hand Abu, 7HT or other similar size casting reel that will last you far far longer. - Varivas Chinu
Great quality hooks. .. used on all my penned rigs as the top hook and nab 95% of the fish, usually nails them in the scissors too which makes un-hooking easier, also like a simple large Chinu with half a crab for my hound fishing where you do not need big baits and pennel rigs are un-nesscary, again nearly all fish are neatly hooked in the scissors which means I can get the fish back in the water quickly. That reminds me, I need to order some more... - Varivas Power Crane Swivels
Without doubt the best quality swivels money can buy. Incredibly strong for their size and as you would expect from the Japanese Varivas brand, they are built to last. I have reused these on numerous occasions after giving used swivels a spray of WD40. - Leeda Icon M-Sport Match
Anyone who buys the leeda range won't be dissapointed as they are a bargain should be worth more than they are picks up the littlest of bites and manages fish well upto the 10lb mark quality bit of kit - Breakaway Fastlink Clips
A must for the sea angler, strong, reliable, tried and tested. The quickest way of changing rigs when match fishing. - 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. - Zziplex M4 Evo
Excellent casting rod in a fishing situation, a nice west coast Scotland rod when your need the power to lift fish in deep broken ground, will cast 6&7oz and baits all day long - Century Eliminator T900
I have been using the T900 since May 2015. What a fantastic rod! It has a powerful butt section and a nice fishing tip sesction. It registers bite even in stong tidal and windy conditions. But has the power to drag big fish in and through the toughest conditions. Recently landed a 31lb 3oz Conger at a very Kelpy venue. I got to ground a couple of times and snagged up and I managed to bully the eel free and land it. I felt every knock and dive it is a sensitive and responsive rod that can handle anything with ease. It is also at home on the clean to mixed ground where even the smallest fish can feedback through the rod what they are doing. In the right hands it will cast a long way, but even in the hands of shorter casters it is a delight and is easily tamed. It is very useable rod that anyone can use novice or experienced. Not only does it look stunning it is a joy and pleasure to fish with. - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
I've been sea fishing for about 13 years, this is the only tripod I've had. Enough said. - Old River Axe Fishery - Somerset
Really good fun had 5 jacks out today in three hour - worth a go with extra light gear using us a sub-surface plug down about 3 feet. - Harrison Torrix P3
Very powerful rough ground rod yet slim and light, Great bite detection at range even on smaller fish. - Varivas Semi Circle
My favourite Varivas pattern for garfish. The fish seem to hook up without necking the bait which is great if you intend to release the fish. - Penn 515 Mag2
nice reel, but have had issues with line trapping between the spool and frame, also tolerances could be better, especially where the spindle inserts into the bullet, not a good fit, will make the spool flex under pressure, but otherwise an OK reel, not in the same standard as the fathom 12 though - Breakaway Seat Box Back Rest Conversion
I wouldn't be without this, though I'm sure a mark 2 with a few adjustments would go down well. Firstly, it could do with easier quick adjustment of the straps, so that it can quickly be loosened to put on/off, then tightened when on. It can be a pain to take on and off when tightened up, but doesn't sit right if too loose. Secondly, a bit of padding would be a nice extra :) All in all though, I'm only picking bones, a quality almost essential piece of kit, and far more robust than other offerings on the market.
