- 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. - Century Kompressor S
Nice all rounder that will chuck big baits out with ease - All-In Angling Tours
What more do you need ...A fishing dream to become a reality without the hassle..All in Angling supply it all with great locations,fantastic guides to max out fishing potential and home cooked grub..An amazing present for any angler, group or singles.. - Vass-Tex 175 Breathable Lightweight Smock
Great top for showers but wouldn't recent it for heavy rain as the rain tends to soak through but does the job when you get caught out and folds down nicely and fits in box snug - Grubs Snowline 8.5
Exceptional boot. Warm, comfy, supportive of the ankle. I get mine pre studded through RockGrip, making them the ultimate fishing boot. - Breakaway Relay Clips
Nice and cheap at £1 perfect for up and overs with a splashdown sinker at the bottom. - Gemini Splash Down Leads
If I'm using a long rod and fixed spool set up, I find these keep the trace clipped down until the lead hits the water. The release of the line when you cast with this set up causes a momentary jerk as your finger lets the line go and this is the only clip I've found to hold the hook in place every time. Would like to see a version that will take bigger hooks in the future though. - Snowbee Rockhopper Wading Boots
These seemed pretty good to start with, but half way through their first outing on the rocks one of the zips Undid itself causing the boot to slide around. That said, they seem to work better in conjunction with a stocking foot wader rather than as an out and out rock boot. - Thyers Fishing Tackle Ltd, Highbridge
Great little shop with a good selection of Sea and Course tackle. Russ runs a fun little league of matches on the local seawall which are ideal times to pop to for a few hours after work. - Delkim RX Plus Pro Receiver
A must have if you have the txi alarms in my eyes. Always have had delkim as they are a house hold name in carping. There alarms speak for themselves the same as this reciever. - 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. - Penn 525 Mag2
amazing reel. £100 cant go wrong they say its slow not as good as the "american one" bla bla bla, i love mine casts like a dream, once the bearings are flushed and re oiled its as fast as they come, any problems penn's customer service is second to none. ive hit over 200 yard casts with it and ive only been using a multiplier for beach casting for a couple months - Bristol Channel Fishing
Well worth a read, whether you are from the Bristol Channel or not. Far more up to date and relevant than magazines. - 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 - Daiwa Sensor
A favourite for rough ground I use it when spinning for hard fighting Pollock from the boat - Reel Deal, Watchet, Somerset. Skipper: Dan Hawkins
I have been out with Dan a few times, he is a genuine nice bloke who is passionate about his fishing as well as providing a great time for those that fish on his boat. I have taken my boys out with him aged 8 and 12 and the way he looked after them and helped them was well beyond what was expected he was so patient even when every time they saw the tip bounce they were shouting "I got a bite" He helped them throughout the whole session and nothing was too much. He has built up a great reputation and is becoming very well known. If you want a great day out with a laugh and some fish then Dan is the Man. But you will need to book in advance as he is very busy and that should tell you everything you need to know about him. - 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. For day ticket and season membership enquirers go to our Facebook page for details or alternatively contact FTW Weston Super Mare - Thyers Highbridge - Cadbury Angling Cadbury Garden Centre - Olivers Angling Clevedon. - 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 - Sunset Amnesia
This snood material has been around for years for a reason a must have plain and simple only downside is the stretch on clipped down rigs but if used with springs holds up well enough. - Turkana Pyramid Sinker Lead
well worth the money an great sinker but u get quality with turkana tackle - Breakaway Cascade Swivel
Great swivels for your 2/3 hook clipped rigs incorporated with srt springs work a treat on your distance match rigs. - Super Match Fishing Rigs
Awesome rigs - made to order... Great components .... What more could you ask for ? - Eddystone Eel 2013
Canny lure first tried them last year if I'm correct and caught my first bass on this lure great lure also good for pollock highly recommended - IMAX 35L Rucksack
This always served me well before I got an army bergen. It's really comfortable to carry and the various entry zips make it a doddle to access different kit rather than having to empty it out for something burried in the bottom. The waterproof cover is a nice touch too. - 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 - Petzl Ultra
Best light I have bought so far. Durable and build to last. I went fir the smaller battery and got 2, carry both so I have loads of power and back up. I have terrible night vision but am more than happy with this. Quick recharge too. - 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! - Musto Gore-Tex Middle Layer Salopettes
Musto is designed for sailing which means it's durible and ideal for Sea fishing. Expensive but then you get what you pay for. This garment is light weight, waterproof, breathable, strong and comfortable. They will keep you warm in sub zero temperatures but still allow you to remain active. A must have for winter fishing in Norway, IMO. - Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips
best clip on the market for ofg casts with hooks up to 3/0 as the down side of these is they wont hold the bigger hooks unless you cut away some plastic so hopefully they bring out a slightly modified version. - 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 - 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 - 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. - Asso tapered Shock leader
Use this stuff on my fixed spools in 15/50lb... nice and thin but very strong , great for casting - Breakaway IMP Bait Clips
Imps are a nice compact clip that i find work well with the smaller hooks i use when match fishing. i prefer the impact shields for larger hooks/baits. The only problems i have found with the imps is that if the spring on the rig applies too much tension or if the cast is thumb braked too hard before the rig hits the sea, the small vane fails to flip round and release the hooks. - Century Kompressor S
Until recently I had a pair of these and for the money they awesome, they out perform more expensive rods form other brands. There is loads of power that will deal with the toughest of conditions and at the same time a very responsive and useable rod that wont bite when you wind up a cast. I have landed numerous double figure hounds and Blonde rays and they have been amazing fun. A great all round rod and well priced. - Guided Fishing Norway
I've fished with John from Guided Fishing Norway on many occasions in various locations throughout Norway, John's passion and dedication shines through and anyone who's had the pleasure of fishing with him knows. It's all in the planning and preparation to the smallest of details, that can be the difference when there's a real change of a fish of a lifetime. On our last trip with John at Saltstraumen Nr Bodo we were fortunate enough to land the European shore line class Ling record with a the fish weighing in at a whopping 59lb oz, a true fish of a lifetime. I personally beat my shore Halibut PB with a 50lb 4oz fish, this was landed as I was following advice from John who had put many hours in fishing this mark. With Guided Fishing Norway you will be met at Bodo airport and taken to the house around 50mins away, you will be given a hearty breakfast to set you up for the days fishing and also taken to the correct marks for the size of tide, weather conditions or ability. When the day or session is over you will be taken back to the house for dinner. Anyone who has fished Norway few times knows its not as easy as the trophy picture show, it has taken the fishing guides days or even months to suss out the area with serious rod hours, with this you just don't get rolling off a plane into a hire car, this is where using the knollage of a guide is worth its weight in Halibut as it can save many a wasted hour fishing at the wrong time or state of tide and when you add up the cost of food, car hire, fuel, toll road charges its almost a false economy to try and 'go alone'. So I would seriously recommend Guided Fishing Norway to any new or regular to fishing the stunning surroundings of Norway with a very accomplished shore angler. - 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. - Century Eliminator T900
Brilliant rod will cast a lead a long way , sit nicely in a strong tide and register every bite but also have a lot of back bone to fight the bigger fish - Sea Angler
Magazines have fell that far behind with publishing the same info year in year out and every other page a advert just keeps pushing buyers away along with everything they test is the dogs danglies well am afraid that's not the case you never see a bad review wonder why as we all know there is some crap gear on the market. - Varivas Tapered Shockleaders
Probably one of the best tapered shiockeaders out there. I like to use these on my smaller multipliers with light lines but more importantly on a fixed spool continental outfit when using braid to keep the leader knot as small as possible. - Ammo Cool Bag
Bait is amazing quality, really fast delivery would recommend this for everyone to use will be purchasing again 👠- Kamasan B940
The traditional match mans hook.. Extremely sharp and strong hooks. Even better with a slight offset.. Short Shanks Are also very nice hooks for using compact worm baits for example - Sonik Gravity Surf 14' 4"
I am quite fond of this! Best on mixed ground and I have used mine out on the reefs, although I have others I would favour for rough ground. I match mine with a Penn 8000 fixed spool. - Evocative Angling
A blog that without doubt has the best supporting photos you will see on any fishing blog. The writing style appeals too, portraying how fishing is about so much more than just catching a fish. - Veals Mail Order
Excellent service from all the team at VMO. Super fast delivery, usually next day. Always happy to advise on tackle. - Zziplex Primo Synchro
Probably the most popular Zziplex ever made, a great all round rod - Varivas Semi Circle
i have use these on and off and always had great success with them for the smaller species. The design prevents fish deep hooking. Very sharp and very strong. - Penn Affinity 7000
I've used this reel on a vercelli I love launching it at places like chesil but happily suited to fishing close on Weston beach My brother has same reel and abuses it and after owning it for over a year it's still in perfect condition having no faults - Sakuma Shock Leader
Nice and soft leader ties realy well and comes in a few colours but the yellow sticks out more and it can be used as rig body aswell - Phat cat, Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan. Skipper: Craig Deans
Excellent skipper with some big fish boated on this boat also shark fishing throughout the summer months
