- Varivas
In my opinion, the number one hook company in the UK. From their size 6 semi circles through to their 8/0 Big Mouth Extras, their hooks have proved both match winners and the number one hook for specimen hunters. Often half the price of very similar hook patterns! The rest of their range, in particular their rig/shock monofilaments and their Fluorocarbons are also excellent. - Drennan Acolyte Ultra 14ft Rod
I've been lucky enough to own some classic match rods (normark Titan 2000, carbotecs)but this rod I can't rate enough £ for £ easiest one of the best rods out From 1oz roach to 3lb chub this rod is great with power when needed - Shimano
All my fixed spools, for spinning and beach casting, are Shimano. I've tried others and always go back to Shimano. Reliable, built well, never fail me. - Daiwa Saltist Advanced Interline Boat Rods
My first review . I have started using interine rods this year and liked the look of the adv interline rod so went and bought one after using it all season all i can say is wow what a piece of kit i opted for the 20lb version as wanted more action with this rod you get a total diffrent feeling when you hook a fish it is supple at the tip but has so much power through the mid to butt section i landed fish over 24lb with ease i would highly recomend this rod only one downside is it can be tricky getting the braid or line through the rod blank using the tool supplied but once its threaded this rod preforms amazingly and there is no guides to break or get caught up on - Fox Halo Lt100 Lamp
I really like the look of this light. Ideal for hanging in a beach shelter, giving a certain sense of comfort through a long dark night. - Leeda Icon Tripod
As good as my old MTI and slightly lighter very stable and very well made - North East Tackle
A cracking tackle shop gary pye is very helpfull giving his own Personal advise on stuff and if they havent got the item you require he orders it straight away even lets you play with the rods,reels etc before you buy . Top class service - Cox & Rawle
Great hooks always use the 8/0 Mear Hooks for all my conger fishing and has handled many eels over 30lb and a couple over 40 :) - 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 - Breakaway Conversion Accessory Tray
As previously mentioned, this is a useful shelf for the box but the design will not suit everyone's needs, ie lead types, spools etc. I have seen some adaptions made by anglers which is good if you are practical. - Varivas Big Mouth
The perfect hook for smoothhounds, cod, rays or anything that may pull back a bit. The wide gape allows the ultra sharp point to stand proud of the bait giving greater potential for a positive hook up. They are incredibly light weight for their strength too. - Gemini Genie Bent Link Clips
Perfect for making drop down rigs ! - Sunset Amnesia
Great line can tie knots easy great line for any shore rig good price can't stop buying it excellent stuff - Damiltech Solutions Seat Box Catch Repair Kit
After struggling with bungee cords to hold my kid shut I bought this, fitted in 10 minutes and my box is better than new. - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
By far the best tripod I've ever owned. Very sturdy and with the added leg lock kit has great stability and is easy to move up and down the beach during matches. Have added the trace bar and I think my next purchase will be a side cup for keeping the rod low. Great tripod. - 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. - Breakaway Conversion Accessory Tray
The spool holders are useless to todays modern bangle spools, but I do slot my spare headlight batteries in there, which is convenient. The lead slots aren't the best for long hikes, but can be solved with a Damiltech Tray Toppa, which then makes it function perfectly. - Century Excalibur J Curve
A clean to mixed ground rod Far too many reports of them snapping - 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. - Henry Gilbey
Hi I enjoyed Henry Gilbey's shows brilliant would like to see more of him on TV Can't wait for his shows again ps I swear down love it good words - Daiwa Saltiga Hyper-Speed 30HSH
An expensive bit of kit, but worth every penny. A great investment and a must have for all specimen hunters IMHO. Why? Good line capacity, strong stainless steel gears, very fast retrieve, a quick release drag (invaluable with any fish that takes line) excellent handle for cranking, easy to grip spool and super smooth on the cast (when magged) Please note - don't buy the 20s, the 30s are the ones to have. Buy one, try it out, because you won't be disappointed! Before you know it you'll probably 3! - Leeda Rogue Lead Pouch
This is a great invention! No more spiky leads poking through the rucksack or in your back. I had always used bait boxes/paint buckets etc, but the leads can and do fall out. The nice thing with this one is that you can zip it shut! - Century Eliminator T800
A superb clean to mixed ground distance rod. I've landed big cod and rays on this rod, it's very powerful and you feel every sensation. 5* - Century Tip Tornado Match
I use a mk2 and must say what a powerhouse it is a great casting rod even when using the max weight 170 grams and bait it copes with no problem at all off the ground or a pendulum swing the rod sends the lead away so smooth leaving the bait intact my only issue is the bite detection is not the best and also the reel seat is a cheap nasty affair which i soon changed for coasters but don t let it put you off it is still a very capable rod - Trabucco XPS Tapered Surf Line
Pros: Great casting, smooth line with very thin diameter, if someone crosses lines with you it's there's that will get cut through! Great bite detection. Downsides, because of zero stretch, you cannot strike hard, It will snap. Fine under steady load, but any sudden strike snaps the line. I still like it, just have to bear this point in mind. Also, the double leader can affect line lay... but it's a tiny issue. - Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips
Best bait clips on the market allow you to ground cast without them in-clipping before you cast used these for the past 2 year and can honestly say these handy devices have never let me down and 99.9% of the time they unclip when the hit the water. - KWAG Guides
Really good quality eyes. Work really well with braid. You won't be dissapointed - 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 - Breakaway OTG Impact Shields
I was a bit sceptical at first if these would release after using other variations of this type of bait clip. But after using these now for a few trips I have yet to have one not release. Such a simple idea and works a treat. Well done Breakaway! - Tronix Pro Envoy Orbit
If you treat it as a £50 reel it will serve you OK, pleasant to use and felt smooth on the retrieve, but not in the same class as a Akios or Abu 6500 sized reel - Varivas Sport
I love this stuff and have used it almost exclusively for over ten years! Smooth, strong and supple with an excellent diameter to breaking strain ratio. Most of my fishing takes place in the dark so the hi viz yellow colour makes it easy to Spot too. A big winner in my book. - North East Tackle
Quality.. Lads always there to help with information and top bait - Veals Mail Order
I Have been using VMO for a number of years now they have never let me down. I recently contacted Veals for a order it was in my hands within 24hrs. The staff and knowledgable friendly and super efficent. If your looking for a reliable mail order company, look no further. Veals are by far the most helpful I have ever used by a mile. - Super Match Fishing Rigs
I've had a number of Super Match fishing rigs, all made to my rather specific requirements. No request has gone unmet by Liam. All top quality components used, excellent knots, crimps applied well with no line damage. - Gamakatsu
As sharp and strong as hooks get, really hard to look past for specialist hooks, even if importing them often costs a small fortune. - Varivas Big Mouth
I got recomended these hooks by a good friend of mine i was previously using sakuma mantas but had a few snap in snags so tried these must say in over a year of using them not one has snapped and the value for money is exceptional ultra sharp nice wide gape and super strong highly recomend for rough ground fishing - Varivas Tapered Bass Leader
Great for work with continental rods and lighter leads. - Century Eliminator T900
9 months or so since I first tested this rod and it's already becoming a classic. I love it for mixed to rough ground and it doesn't miss a bite. They set the bar high with this one. - Asso UltraCast
Great line ..love it on the fixed spool reels.. asso deffoo done a great job with this one! - Ammo Cool Bag
Bait is amazing quality, really fast delivery would recommend this for everyone to use will be purchasing again 👠- Ultima Distance
A very good line that is strong and durable and has good knot strength - 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. - Penn Fathom 12
I think this is the big brother of the 515 mag2 and is best suited to lighter lines and clean beaches it hasn't got the mag system of the 515 but you can cast just as far and the upgraded power handle and reeling in power is amazing - Breakaway Spinlink Clips
I like to use these as a general connection clip on my carp rod set up when targeting spring bass and codling. The size and breaking strain are perfect for use on small neat traces. And they can be used over and over again! - Veals Mail Order
great service every time best mail order site on the net - Anyfish Anywhere Match Pro
I bought one of these as soon as they were released I was a little put off by the price tag but there back to the slimmer blanks and imo worth the money.There a joy to use with great bite detection and will send a bait out with ease. - Varivas Chinu
I always use these for Bass fishing with a bait on the bottom (opting for a Varivas Circle when popped up). Fantastic sharpness, strength and hook hold. - Penn Surfblaster 8000
Stunning value for money. The line lay is about as good as it gets on a fixed spool. You can use really light braids without fear of line twist. Really smooth too, even under load. Some people moan about tackle made in China but this is great for the money and performs as well as reels twice the cost! - 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. - Daiwa TD-R 2508 Match
I bought one of these reels to see how it compared to my other reel (tdx 2508) hoping they would be similar as tdr is quite a bit cheaper Boy didn't I regret it and didn't keep it long Even tho it's a good reel I loved my tdx more and would say it's worth the extra money
