- Penn 525 Mag2
A nice reel but sadly not an improvement on the original 525mag. This reel does not live up to the expectation of its predecessor which was bomb proof. There are far better and more capable reels out there. A big disappointment for me. - Asso UltraCast
Fantastic line with excellent knotting strength. I've done some breaking tests on scales and it is routinely breaking higher than its breaking strain, and in 20lb is breaking at a higher breaking strain than other 25b lines. Casts very well with the Fluoro coating seeming to ease any resistance on the guides. Quite pricey at roughly £14 for a 4oz spool though -Lucky it's strong, you wouldn't want to lose much at that price! - Century Tip Tornado Match
Nice all round rod and can handle mixed ground with ease. Great tip and bite detection yiu can realy have good fun playing a decent fish with it - Shimano PowerPro Braid
I found this braid very early on when I switched over to braid from mono so I can't really compare it to the others, however that in itself speaks for it, I haven't had to try many others because its so good. Perfectly round profil which flies off the multis when casting from the shore and also very nice for the fixed spool reels too, I use it in 53lb 66lb & 88lb and it covers all the mixed to rough ground venues I fish, dropping down to the 53lb when extra distance is required I'd like to go lighter for added distance but for the grounds I fish it might not be up to it abrasion wise - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
Best tripod on the market! Sturdy and great for match anglers as it has the leg lock kit and trace bar this provides luminous cups to be able to see them in the dark Nothing I can say apart from top quality!! - Sunset Amnesia
this for a snood line is Number 1 in my eyes i use this in match comps and specimen fish grate knot strength and abrasion resistant . - IMAX Cool Bag
Had the medium version for a while. It's a bit of a funny size and doesn't hold very much frozen bait. It does the job with a few wraps of worm though. The various pockets are a bit unnecessary in my opinion as are the zips which eventually salt up. - 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. - Century Tip Tornado Sport
I love my tip tornado sports they can handle any thing you throw at them the best rod in my opinion in the tip tornado range and also look great the way they are made - Damiltech Solutions Tray Toppa
Great addition to the Breakaway tray, easy to fit and leads sits nicely in high density foam, ever takes me Turkana pyramids no problem. - Shimano
Shimano great engineering .When I was a lad the must have was shimano gears on your push bike now they are my favourite fixed spool fishing reel ,Tough&reliable. - Conoflex Nemesis Plus
A true classic from the Conoflex stable A nice mixed to rough ground rod that has stood the test of time - Grauvell UFO Shelter and Tripod Light
I've used this one on Chesil a couple of times this winter and although it's early day's, I'm very impressed. You don't expect much for this type of money, but the simple concept of being able to hang it up in the beach buddy makes it worth every penny. The light output is great and it's nice to return to a base lamp after casting out. - Damiltech Solutions
Great products from a great man items arrived next day after dispatch all with good clear instructions. All parts fitted perfectly. Very pleased with them, a great addition to any box whatever your requirements dave can help you out - Greased Weasel Shock Leader
Great for traces and shock leader if fishing snaggy areas when tapered is no good been using for over 15 years - VMO Crane Swivels
Top quality swivels.. - TronixPro Cobra GT
Was massively excited when I first tried this rod. Have now used it out on the reefs and over mixed and clean ground on the beach. Very gutsy rod, snags are no problem. Casts very well OTG. Bite detection is excellent without being tippy. Has removable wrights in the butt but I have left mine in, as it feels well balanced just as it is. Have caught bass, dogs, conger, green eels and whiting with this so far, looking forward to some hound action on this one. Well worth the money and brilliantly suited to the Bristol Channel. - IMAX 35L Rucksack
Excellent value for money, and very hard wearing. I have had one of these when they first came out. Very comfortable and fitted with a frame. All pockets and ideal for storing reels etc and easy access to the main compartment. The rubber base is great alot of venues the ground is always wet so a rubber base is ideal to keep the contents dry. Also included is a waterproof cover, but the bag is showerproof. It is comfortable to wear and spread the weight evenly. You will be hard pushed to find a better quality rucksack for less and with all the features included. - Cox & Rawle Crab Hook
Perfect size hooks for a crab bait made and desinged very well and super strong and sharp - BMNAT Tip Guide
A matching tip guide for black alconites (bmnag) but also matches up well with several other black fuji guides Matching tip to BKWAG, BKLAG etc A Great tip guide but buyer beware that this tip guide has a leg that needs a thread wrap on, not suitable for a quick change on the beach - Varivas
Have used Varivas hooks since first sold by veals mail order. Big mouths for larger baits have proved themselves many times. Strong enough to hold large hard fighting fish,but if snagged they can often be sprung out. The saltwater champions size 3 are great flattie hooks and can handle a bigger fish if one should come along. The semi circles can improve hook up rates with bream while still being easy to bait up and size 8 has proved to be an excellent mullet hook. All hooks have very sharp points and neat small barbs. - Coast HL8
This lamp looks and feels great sadly thats the only positives as it is seriously let down by reliability. I had 3 of these in as many weeks. They would either just cut out for no reason or when adjusting it would cut out. I need a lamp for safety reasons due to venues I fish as much as I need for it fishing. Reliability is more important than out right brightness. Thankfully when mine cut out it was on a flat beach a long walk in the dark, but thankfully not a slip on boulders or a cliff. - Century Carbon Metal
one of my favourite rods from Century, great allrounder - Daiwa Saltiga Hyper-Speed 30HSH
My number one choice of reel for almost all my fishing these days. Not only is the reel a cranking beast, but properly mag converted (I use Macey Mags), it is a casting dream too. I downsize to the 20 equivalent for my lighter bass rods, but the 30 is still surprisingly small because of the very narrow side plates. Most of the reel is spool - very easy to get your thumb over and control. - Vass-Tex Team 700E Series Chest Wader - Mega Stud Sole
These seem pretty bomb proof. Really well made, plenty of double stitching, welded seems... and boots with amazing grip. Just the job when reef wading. - DCA Gripper Lead
These were fantastic in their day. Very cheap to make and a nice shape. The original moulds occasionally appear on ebay so if you are looking a decent mould to cast your own leads, keep an eye out. Be aware of imitations though. - Sakuma 450 Chinu
Brilliantly strong and sharp hooks. Ideal for those scratching matches where small hooks are needed but a bonus Bass or Strap Conger could come along - they can still be trusted to hold. Not the best for worm baits or flatfish fishing because of the short shank - a lot of fish regularly end up deep hooked. - 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. - Century Eliminator T900
Ive been through a massive amount of rods ie different brands etc. By far the best ive used - Penn Fathom 12
Small reel with a big reel attitude ! v same winching power as the fathom 15 in a more compact frame, casts superb, smooth silky drag, and comfortable power handle. Has been said fathoms have issues with going through brake blocks, this i cured with replacing with Abu fibre blocks, just the two, and it's now the perfect reel for distance ray fishing, there is always the option to Mag them, but the fibre blocks do the job a treat ! - Century Eliminator T800
I had this rod and it's a great rod .can handle big baits aswell .. relly good bite indication - Varivas Vermax
This one does exactly what it says on the tin! It is very, very strong for its diameter and the only reason I stopped using it was because it wasn't very visible in the dark. If you fish in daylight most of the time, I can highly recommend it. - TronixPro Cobra GT
Having been a zziplex low reel pendulum caster for the last 20 years or so..I was somewhat reluctant to change to 3 piece rods and fixed spool reels but some extremely good anglers were making the switch so I thought I'd get myself a Cobra GT 4.2 to see what it was like... Well..I was so impressed with it that I have now sold all my Zziplexes and multis and got myself a pair of 4.2 Cobras teamed up with a pair of Shimano Ultegra xsc reels. Christchurch Angling have supplied me with 6 teflon spools and low diameter mono to cover all options and I honestly believe these rods will do everything I need. .the power is incredible but with a superb tip and the more I use them the more I'm getting out of them. I won't be swinging lead ever again..there's no need to. .just a Brighton Cast goes a long way..I'm am a very happy Cobra user . - BKWAG Guides
Black version of the ever popular kwag Anti tangle excellent guide for multi and fixed spool alike - Sakuma
Best hooks on the market - Century Carbon Metal
Fond memories of my Carbon Metals they well built and handled anything you could throw at them and still a striking looking rod a cracking rod for the money and ideal for the Bristol Channel - Olivers Angling Rigs
Olivers have a great range of ready tied rigs suitable for the pleasure and the match angler. Graham is always happy to take orders for custom made specifications such as hook patterns, snood lentghs, bead colours and Nordic big fish designs. - Old River Axe Fishery - Somerset
Fantastic Old River Ace nr WSM recently reopened after a 3year layup. Good numbers of common carp, specimen bream and tench have been landed this season.

When it comes to buying a headlamp, £300 seems a lot of money (cost at the time of purchase). I was keen to see what this particular lamp had to offer but also how it may perform against the Rush model which was similar in price. The light output was always going to be phenomenal; for this kind of money you wouldn't expect anything less, but as soon as I opened the box I could see that this light wasn't going to be in pieces after a few sessions. Talk about rugged! Think of a tank carrying a light house and you pretty much have the Vario. The wire is chunky and wont bend or snap and the control switch is large and easily accessible with cold, wet hands. Although the Lumens are slightly down on the Rush model I mentioned earlier, the fact that the Vario has a spotlight beam aswell as the conventional flood is what sold it to me. Landing fish from a cliff edge high above the water is what this lamp does best and I'm quite sure it will still be going strong in years to come. My only tiny niggle is the elastic head band. Petzl have always struggled with this and as with models before, it has lost some of its elasticity. That aside, I couldn't recommend the Vario enough. If you fish in the dark from some nasty location's you need a reliable light. And this is it. - Ammo Cool Bag
Perfect for taking a minimal amount of bait with you. The less air within the cool bag the better insulated your bait will be, so it makes sense to use as small a bag as you can get away with. Two or three packs of sandeels pop in nicely; just the job for those Spring ray sessions. - Daiwa Saltist Hyper-Speed 30HSH
Beautifully made reel. Very smooth and cast really well when magged. The retrieve is smooth and the drag and is strong enough to deal with anything. The lever drag is easy and precisie to use and very easy to set up. - Breakaway Impact Shield
These bait clips I've found are quite cheap and when your putting them on your line the bottom of the bait clip sometimes snaps and they were genuine bait clips from brakaway. One of the only bait clips that allows big hooks and big baits to be clipped down. - ESP Syncro XT Line
Have this product in 10lb breaking strain it's superb has great casting property's and is super tough. This is now my go to main line absolutely love it. It does everything I want and need it to do either fishing at distance or more intimate venues - Conoflex Nemesis Plus
A good strong rod ideal rod fishing big baits and for bullying fish in over rough ground. I have owned on since they were first produced and I am still happy with it. - Ultima Enigma Super Snood
I gave this a go for a change of snood line just to see if it was up to all the hype. I have to be honest, it was nice enough, quite supple, but will probably stick to Amnesia in future. - Ammo Cool Bag
Have owned 2 of these for years now (original red model) and wouldn't be without them for Sandeels and Frozen Crab baits. They keep the bait in prime condition without much need for a large freezer pack. Only minor bother to me is I'd like to see a slightly wider model to hold a box of squid and 2inch longer to accommodate an extra pack of 3x mackerel .... Otherwise Bob on!! - Sakuma Shock Leader
I use this shock leader for everything even rig bodies I'm don't really get hung up with different lines I stick to what works for me and I've no complaints - 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. - Breakaway Cascade Swivel
Best invention! Use these on 60% of my rigs. Superb for tying loop rigs and double hook clipped downs. - 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.
