- Olivers Angling, Clevedon
Graham and Maria at Olivers offer a great service to anglers in the North Somerset area. Being a smaller shop they have sensibly avoided taking on the big shops re top of the range, expensive kit and concentrated on what I think is the important stuff; terminal tackle, accessories, a fantastic range of ready made sea rigs, great local knowledge and most important of all, excellent bait. The quality of Olivers fresh lug and ragworm is well known so it is advisable to pre-order by phone to avoid disappointment. - Ammo Cool Bag
Brilliant for a couple of packs of sandeel, or I often take an Ammo match pack - 1 mackerel fillet, 2-3 sandeel and 2 squid - in one of these. Long lasting and take up very little space. - 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 - Vass
Excellent waders, leaky smocks. - Gemini Genie Rig Clips
Probably the best variation of the popular bait clip/lead link combination. Not great for larger baits but they are superb for using upside down to hang a lead off connected to a weak link when rough ground fishing. - 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 - Kamasan B940
A must have in any anglers arsenal of hooks - Kamasan B940
The first hook out the packet when targeting smaller species been around for years and you wont find a match angler without them in his box. - Grubs Snowline 8.5
By far the best boots I have tried over the years there the first things I pack for a trip to Norway in the winter months I have added screw in studs for added grip - Daiwa
Top company, pretty assured of quality. All my multiplier reels have always been Daiwa. Some of their Amorphous Whisker Beach Casters and Uptide Rods are still amongst the best around 20 years later and their premium waterproofs are as good as you can get that are designed specifically for the fishing market. A couple of small things that will prevent a 5 star review. The 'finishing touches' to certain reels over the years. The Silver Saltists have the worst paint job ever on any reel - scratched the second you look at it. The 7HT range, brilliant, could have been the best in class (or even further ahead of the field) if they'd have just added the pinion support in the factory years ago. Never even corrected this for the Mag or ST Mag. Also, they really should do the hyper speed lever drags with a magnofuge built in. Sounds like a rant, but they are tiny tiny things in the grand scheme. I'll still always buy Daiwa multis over anything else. - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
Best tripod on the market. I know some lads who have been using the same 1 for more than 15yrs and still going strong. Tried and tested and comes out top Probably 1 of the lightest tripods which obviously makes things easier on long treks to your favourite mark. - 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 - Century Tip Tornado LD Super Match
A stunning light weight surf rod i use mine when roaming the edge of the coast line very capable of handling its rated casting weight and with amazing bite indication there is no other rod in its class to compete well done to Century and Jeremy Schrader on this Beauty - Titan 'Titantex' Waterproof Bib and Brace
Almost as good as the smock, only let down in my opinion by the shoulder straps that keep slipping through the clips. - Sonik Gravity Surf 15' 4"
Sonik hit the nail on the head with this rod very light fantastic tip for bites and will happily chuck 3oz to 6oz plus baits coupled with a good fixed spool light lines imo best on the market in the price range - 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. - Sakuma Nite Crystal
I'm not one to get all technical with diameters and that I just stick to what suits me I normally use 18lb on rock makes and no problems with casting or knots - Tony Rixon's Days Out
Top bloke, top blog! - Daiwa Sandstorm Rod Holdall
i have the full hold all which size wise is great for the rods easy up to 16ft in sections 2 big outter pockets aswell for a shelter etc one down side i have the ian golds super match tripod and the hold all has the velcro fastening at the top but nothing at the bottom as i dont break the tripod right down it wobt fit in the pocket so have to use a bungee strap at the bottom but apart from that its not a bad holdall hardwearing and i think looks good with the yellow and black and diawas lastest logo bottom line yes i would recommend this - Century
live up to there reputation, only problem with them is i think i want another one - Olivers Angling, Clevedon
Very helpful with local knowledge Top bait and cup of tea - Damiltech Solutions Tray Toppa
One of the best bits of kit my box has seen this year keeps weights in place instead of all over the place and has ample holes in so never run short on a session great buy - 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. - Baits R Us
Have been using Baits R Us for about 12 months and I have been thoroughly impressed. They have a wide range of frozen baits and availibility is good. They are well packaged and always arrrive in the morning still frozen solid. The bait is high quality as well. - Daiwa Saltiga Hyper-Speed 30HSH
This reel is now my preferred one for Norwegian big fish trips. When magged up it casts well even with large baits. Unlike other '30s' the profile is small enough to easily get a good thumb grip on which helps when fishing in cold icey conditions. - Century Eliminator T1000
I use this rod for the majority of my fishing which is mainly rough ground along with a saltist 20 or 30 which is a awesome combination. Very responsive and the bite indication is a superb for such a rod. Casting is easy and big distances are easily achieveable even with an over heard thump. It took me a few sessions to suss this rod out and now I have I love it. - Saltstraumen Brygge
I've experienced some amazing sights in Saltstraumen Brygge! Massive fish, beautiful scenery and awesome sea life. It has become a regular haunt for me personally and a must have fishing holiday year after year! - Boss Sea Rigs
matty is a top bloje who looks after his customers nothing to much trouble for him have bought a number of things from him his ready tied rigs are second to none also i buy all my loose bits like hooks etc from him nice quality at a good price and great service post is quick aswell highly recommend matty at boss sea rigs for all aspects of sea fishing - Daiwa Sandstorm
i have the fixed spool 12ft version of these 4-8oz they are a nice weighty rod they cast very well easy 150yards plus in the right hands they look nice in the samdstrom black and yellow also the eyes of the rod have a yellow reflective coating with shows up great in the dark the only thing i found that the rubber butt was a bit big to fit in the cups on a ian golds super match so i shaved them fown a tad but i no diawa do sell the slim line butt rubber which is ideal for these rods apart from that have used them over a year on all types of fishing smooth and rough ground and they have performed well with everything i have threw at them for high to low temperatures the have always been a relaible rod if you like the real light weight rods these may not be for you as there is a bit of weight to them but they are a good soild rod yes i woulf highly recommend these - Baits R Us
Always a pleasure to deal with these never had any problems with the bait or delivery always solid frozen - Penn Fathom 15
The 525 mag2 big brother in my opinion it has all the strength of a saltist reel but looks far better. If this reel had the magnetic braking system of the 525 mag2 then this reel would be the best on the market but this is a good strong reel and casts very well loaded with 20lb line - Ron Thompson Axellerator
Best rough ground rod if your on a budget, cheap but excellent quality For such a powerful rod it still has good bite detection - Sakuma 545 Manta Extra
this hook i found is one of the strongish hooks iv used sharp ,strong with a good wide gape for fishing big baits when targeting specimen fish iv got total confidence when using these hooks. - Sakuma 540 Manta
The 540 Manta is even sharper than the 545 Manta extra probably because of the lighter gauge . I usually use 540 if I am after codling etc but prefer the stronger 545 if targeting big conger etc. having had a few 540's snap. Which could be the difference between winning an open comp and going home disappointed. - Olivers Angling Rigs
I'm to lazy to make my own rigs and there is only one person I trust to make Huge range on wall and will make to your spec - Guided Fishing Norway
I went out with Guided Fishing Norway last March and it honestly was the trip of a lifetime! John has done so much research and knows the area so well that there is no need to waste time looking for marks or working out what tides to fish them on and yet if you wish there are also an endless supply of untried marks to try. My goal was to try and catch a halibut from the shore, I knew it was a great place to target them but they are by no means a sure thing so I was over the moon to land 5 up to almost 30lb! I even hooked (but didn't land) one shading with a 100gm spinning rod. We also had great sport with cod to near double figures on shads, well over 20lb on bait, plus quality coalies, wolf fish, plaice etc. I didn't try any of the really deep marks but they're definitely on my list for next time with the chance of many species you wouldn't think of getting from the shore. I did try one reasonably deep mark, it took a couple of minutes for the lead to reach the bottom and was rewarded with s double figure lumb. The scenery every where is amazing including the views from the house looking toward the saltstraumen whirl pools. The house is cozy and well equipped and there are several marks within walking distance. Don't forget to try the petrol station burgers, just don't work out how much they cost in pounds! In short I cannot recommend John and Guided Fishing Norway highly enough, it could be the difference between a frustrating holiday and a trip of a lifetime! - Holton Road Angling- South Glamorgan
Barrys finest tackle and bait shop - 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! - Akios Shuttle 656 SCM
Loved mine! Well built and for the price u ain't getting better! - Penn 525 Mag2
Bloody great reel. This was my first multiplier and was worried about getting nests all the time. However started off with the brakes on full, then eased them off as time went on. Well built and well worth the money - 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. - Varivas Big Mouth
There the only hooks on the market I can honestly trust!! - Mustad Bronzed O'Shaughnessy
A nice strong hook for Conger & Common Skate - IMAX Coast Thermo Smock
Although a warm smock, too many people saying they are failing at the seams and as such losing waterproof abilities - Sakuma 545 Manta Extra
Brilliant Hooks!! - 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 . - Century Tip Tornado Match
Lovely rod, did wonders for my casting skills. Tip recovery isn't the best but it's bite detection makes up for it. I wouldn't use it on really rough ground but if you're looking for a good clean/mixed rod that will send your bait miles and still have good detection then this is the rod for you. - RockGrip - Fishing Boot Studding
Used to stud my own boots using those cheap screw ins from ebay. Better than nothing. But Rockgrip studs are in another league altogether. They don't fall or tear out like the ebay ones, are much harder so don't wear down, and grip better by a large margin. They represent great value for money. But what price can you put on safety? You might ruin your session, snap a rod or an arm, or fall in the water. It's a no brainier. Highly recommended Just don't wear them around the house or you'll scratch your floors!! - 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. - 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
