- Fuji lock Nuts
A handy product that stops your reel seat coming loose during use - 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. - MNAG Guides
Chrome Alconite Looks fantastic on a rod and a nice guide too reduced friction - Century Eliminator T900
Owned 4 months very happy with rod, it's bite detection is second to none loads up easy and puts a lead a long way 10/10. - 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 - 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 - 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! - Breakaway Escape Link
Must admit that my experience with these was short lived. They proved Tricky to set up with the correct tension and I couldn't trust that they would release the lead. I now use an upside down Gemini Rig Clip. - 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. - Century Excalibur C Curve
The C Curve was the first of the new range I got and love it,its a joy to fish it and cast the only downside for me is the length as I like a longer rod but that's my personal opinion you wont go wrong with this rod for mixed ground - TronixPro Cobra GT
I can totally agree that this is a superb rough ground rod. The power in the rod is totally unbelievable but the bite detection is absolutely awesome even the smallest bites are easily detected even. One of, if not the best fixed spool rod for Bristol Channel fishing on the market. I would also add if you would like to purchase this rod and your local tackle shop has one I wouldn't hesitate for too long as they sell out fast - Daiwa Saltist Hyper-Speed 20HSH
A nice compact reel with a superfast retrieve, I feel it's lacking the pulling power that the standard saltist bg and and silver 1s offer - Varivas Big Mouth
this is a hook i prefer to use on my rough ground fishing when i need a hook to be able to land a big fish but a hook that i could bend out of any snags to prevent gear loses - Old River Axe Fishery - Somerset
The possibilities are unchartered! Explore the potential of this fishery and you might well be amazed with the results! - VMO Crane Swivels
Top quality swivels.. - BLFAT Tip Guide
A micro guide for feeder rods etc - 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. - Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips
I love this clip for casting off the ground, as its the only one I've found that doesn't come unclipped on the beach before casting! I use these on my pulley rigs and clip down rigs all the.time. Great that they come separately or integrated into the sinker. - Zziplex Profile Evo
My favourite rod I have ever owned! Some people say it's soft but it's not I used to hit it as hard as I can and it loved it!! - Shimano Catana 13ft Surf
Having used and owned softer tipped rods I opted for this as an entry level rough ground rod. Paid £70 new for it which I was delighted with. At the shop I had considered both the catana and a sonik black. Similar price but the difference was demonstrated in store and the strength of the catana win hands down. Fished the east coast of Scotland up at usan and was glad I had the rough ground rod. So, putting the rod to its test, out the bag very understated but a nice finish all the same in black, very few markings. Nice loling rod. I assembled it with my fixed spool and got to work. First cast sent the 6oz plus bait out a decent 100 plus yards without any real effort. However the retrieving was wher it came into its own. Where my other rods would gave suffered the catana was first class. Pulled my weight and hooks through the kelp fairly easily. Always felt confident I would retrieve my shock leader and weight in tact. Had one scrap with a big fish and it performed very well, easy to see bites and pulls in fish without any effort. First trip left me keen to get the rod out again. Nice weight, nice reel seat. All good. Only downside is it's a 2 piece, my car is a bit wee for it. Highly recommended - Zziplex M4
A fantastic mixed ground rod, very user friendly 1 of the best rods Iv'e used for casting in a fishing situation - Breakaway Seat Box Back Rest Conversion
A must have accessory for your fishing box, I pack everything but the kitchen sink when I go fishing and being able to put the whole box load on my box comfortably definitely makes life a little easier when your on the go, The back rest is also a bonus on they long quiet night sessions when not a lot is happening - Daiwa Saltist Hyper-Speed 30HSH
Unbelievable reel. Casts a dream when magged, easy to get thumb over, incredible retrieve rate of 7.3:1, 24b of drag... couldn't ask for more, and lighter than the Saltiga version (all metal) without sacrificing too much component wise. - 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. - Guided Fishing Norway
Guided Fishing Norway is run by John Strange and you won’t go wrong using him for your shore fishing holiday. John will always be ready on the end of the phone or email to give advice and answer your questions about what fishing equipment and clothing etc. to bring along on your trip. It’s all in the planning. John stays out in Norway for three months of the year and if he is not looking after you, he will be fishing new marks to take clients to. Your adventure begins when you’re picked up from Boda airport in the big 4x4 tuck and taken to the accommodation which is a traditional Norwegian style house overlooking Saltstrouman. The rooms are clean and comfortable with fresh linen, the kitchen diner and lounge are spacious and comfortable and the log burner is very welcoming on them cold days! Indecently, as a bonus, there are two fantastic fishing marks within walking distance from the accommodation that have seen cod to 40lb and Halibut to 50lb! Each day you wake up to a fully cooked breakfast to set you up for the day; then into the truck to head off to your chosen fishing marks. The good thing about the big 4x4 is that not only does it have studded tyres, but also snow chains, winter pack and additional light bars etc., this baby can get you to those “off the beaten track” marks that most hire cars can’t get to in the snowy season. At the end of the day you’re picked up and bought back to the house where there will be a hot meal waiting for you. After dinner, you can sit round the log burner, drink cold beer and talk about the big one that you lost or head back out for another few hours on the local marks. Remember the next morning the bacon will be sizzling once again. John is always on hand to help out to answer questions and give advice if required. Plenty of fresh bait is provided in with the price for everyone and there is a chest freezer and vacuum bag sealer for your fillets. Rod and reel rental is available (new Century T900s and T1000s and Shimano 10000s) and all terminal tackle it available to purchase at cheap rates just in case you forgot to pack something. As far as I’m concerned, it’s value for money. A good variety of fishing marks for a wide variety of fish, Dabs, Plaice, Cod, Haddock, Coalfish, Pollock, Halibut, Redfish, Ling and Lumb and more are all on the agenda. The deep-water (200mdeep) fishing is awesome and Guided Fishing Norway already has a shore record under its belt! Good food, Good transport, Good accommodation, Good bait, Good tackle and Good guiding . Follow them on Facebook. We have booked up again this year and next! - 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 - Sea Angler
It's tough for magazines now. The only way to keep up with high production costs is to increase the amount of advertising... unfortunately this can alienate readers. I'm glad some people still get some value from magazines, but for me, I prefer online blogs, which are far more up to date, usually more specific so more relevant, and can be interactive to allow more detailed questions to be raised and answered without a 1 month lag between issues that feature such Q&A. Some of The Sea Angler team do a good FaceBook page, but the need for this is perhaps indicative of the way more and more readers prefer their media to be delivered through a different channel these days. - 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. - Varivas Sport
Great line I love it nice and strong perfect with my knots and good for heavy and smooth ground highly recommend - Veret Eclisseo 4.4M
For 3-5oz work with delicate baits and light lines scratching in matches, this rod has blown everything else I've ever used out of the water. The easy distance this rod gets in the cast is extraordinary. The light blank allows a very fast overhead thump which rapidly compresses the whole rod, feeling very smooth in the process. Even delicate maddies can be delivered at a distance with no damage. The blank is so light it's great for holding in the surf whilst bites develop to get the full feedback. - Breakaway Escape Link
The best rotten bottom link available. Why use one that requires messing around with bits of weak link line when this does he job without? Can easily increase or decrease tension needed to release it. So simple, so effective. - 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. - 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. - 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 - Daiwa TDX 4-10oz
Perfect Bristol Channel uptide rod. Hard to find nowadays. - Varivas Semi Circle
My favourite all round match hook in sizes 4 and 6. One of the only semi circle designs that seems to work for flatfish. Super strong, even targeting small eels and flat, I've landed decent size Bass and Codling on the 6's. - Anyfish Anywhere International
Not quite the same as a true continental rod ( I am talking about the mark 1) as a bit heavier to use. However, inlovevthis for estuary and flounder work, and the bigger top eye than you find on the average continental rod is a plus when dealing with weed. - Anyfish Anywhere Tournament Grand Prix
Currently using a pair of these for the heavier stuff. Extremely powerful but useful with 7oz leads and an overhead thump. Loads of power in this, probably too much for me to effectively use but loads of grunt for pulling the plug out! - Ron Thompson Axellerator
Great rods for the price will pull anything in over rough ground great but detection lovely action when casting brilliant rods - Rovex 10X High Abrasion
Been using it 18 months on my second spool find it great some people complaint the knots snap but Iv had no issues cheap line and good quality . - Korda Flexi Rig Swivel
Does what it says on the packet can't fault them - Leeda Icon M-Sport Power
Nice power, but poor quality fittings and a very thick butt compared to equivalent rods on the market... which might not be a problem to some, but does affect my ability to get my thumb round the spool for casting. Good for the money, but I always think that phrase is an excuse for lower quality - I'd sooner something good regardless of the money. - Damiltech Solutions Tray Toppa
The tray topper is brilliant bit of kit weights don't fly allover your box ideal a must buy - Ammo Cool Bag
Bait is amazing quality, really fast delivery would recommend this for everyone to use will be purchasing again 👠- Breakaway Relay Clips
Nice and cheap at £1 perfect for up and overs with a splashdown sinker at the bottom. - 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. - Breakaway IMP Bait Clips
have these on most of my rigs never fail to release the hooks - Sakuma Shock Leader
Great leader as well as rig body material.I use it from 40lb-100lb great knot strength. - Ron Thompson Axellerator
What a rod! £120 of pure winching power! This rod is the ultimate tool to carry for fishing rough ground/kelp for conger,cod. This rod packs a punch,casting a 7oz and a full mackerel no problem. Love it,and will never part with it. Quite heavy but casts really well. As good as some of the brands 3x the price - Varivas Full Circle
Excellent when fishing a popped up bait for Bass. I prefer a short shank J pattern when the bait is on the bottom, but popped up these are almost guaranteed a good hook hold.
