- 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! - Gemini Tackle
Use a Lot of Gemini products on my rigs , the Links and swivels are unbeatable and Will never Use anytging different.. Great value for money too... - Thyers Fishing Tackle Ltd, Highbridge
Great tackle shop, nothing is too much trouble for these guys, they will give you advice, local marks and lots of info, will order things in for you and Russell runs some great little matches at Burnham, which are perfect for anyone new to matches. Highly recommended. - Veals Mail Order
Nice and reliable, use these often and delivery is always quick - Kamasan B900C
I only use these when im purely fishing with small crab baits great variety of sizes a must have have in the hook box. - Varivas Saltwater Champions
Fantastic hooks and the only ones I use for the smaller species, a nice fine hook strong and sharp. Very popular choice with alot of my friends and they are strong enough to deal with surpise hook ups of other larger species. - Daiwa Sundridge Fingerless Gloves
I'm not a big fan of gloves for fishing, but if the weather gets really cold they are nice to have. These are particularly warm and as good as any I've tried. Having fingers free to bait up is a must. - 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. - 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. - 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 - Century Eliminator T800
I had this rod and it's a great rod .can handle big baits aswell .. relly good bite indication - Shimano PowerPro Braid
Barely use braid but this is great stuff can't fault it great stuff - Century Tip Tornado LD Super Match
Could start by saying how deceptively powerful the rod is, but its not deceptive with a great name like century behind it you know the rod is going to be up to the challenge.I fish Chesil with the rod in strong tides and high winds and it does a fantastic job of standing up to the conditions. 5oz Whole squid full power pendulum is no trouble for this rod, absolutley love it. The bite detection is next level as well, a pout 3 inches long caught at 150 yards looks more like bass bite than a minnow, cant fault great work century - 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! - Korda Flexi Rig Swivel
Does what it says on the packet can't fault them - 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. - 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. - Varivas
I have been using Varivas hooks for years now. A fantastic strong and sharp hook I use the Big Mouth Extras for the majority of my fishing, I will not use or consider any other hook. The BMX have never failed with bullying big fish over rocks and kelp. Various other brands I have used in the past I have lost fish due to hooks straightening out and snapping. I also now use Varivas sport and the shock leader, both are fantastic, hard wearing and very well priced. With performance and price like this I do not see myself switching brands any time soon. Keep up the good work Varivas! - Suffix Zippy Shock leader
stunning in the 60lb for shockleader, no thumb slip when power casting either which is a massive bonus because some leaders really do slip. also in 80lb makes great rig body - UK Hooks Coaster Reel Seat
Easily the best reel seat I've ever used. Beats coasters too. I've always felt every reel seat or coasters I've owned have to be tightened to breaking point to be effective, soon damaging them. This thing grips like nothing else with only a few turns of tightening the coaster. So easy to quickly move too. It's the redesign of a reel seat that's been needed for ages. - 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 - Century Carbon Metal Express
Nice mixed ground rod, seems to be a good starting rod for beginners on the field casting - Century Tip Tornado LD Super Match
My favourite rod for estuary work. You can really feel a 4-5lb Bass on this! It's power is actually deceptive. I tend to fish 3-5oz on it and it is comfortable with any of this. Very easy to compress and because of the super slim blank there's never a problem getting your thumb over the spool of a multi - though it's pretty good with fixed spool too when built with KWAGS. I've landed Ray to 10lb on this rod. - VMO Crane Swivels
Great strong swivel great price never fail me would recommend to anyone - Bristol Channel Fishing
Great read with reg updates James madson is a credit to local angling with the amount time effort and passion he's putting in to this Well done James keep it up - Daiwa Saltist 30H
This is the reel you want for big fish over heavy ground the reel golds plenty off line and is a beast just like the saltist 20s this reel will cast a long way and has the power to bully big fish - Sonik
Sonik seem to come from nowhere and brought us the gravity surf. What a fantastic piece of kit it is too! The ultimate scratching tool for incredibly low price. Built in the Colmic factory, so it's top quality. Ultra light weight but extremely strong, over head thumping up to 190g no problem. Suitable for fixed spool & multiplyer, this rod has cast 200 yards plus on the field many times. The tip is a glass carbon mix, which makes it both crisp yet super sensitive - ideal for when you're fishing in stronger tides - the tip sets but there is still room for bite indication. The tip was actually a USP for me personally. Great rod that comes highly recommended by me. - Varivas
I've used these hooks since their introduction in 1992. There is a size and pattern for every specie of fish from mullet to common skate. Not once have I been let down using a Varivas hook so I'll be using them for the forseeable future! - Sakuma 540 Manta
One of my fav hooks and one I prob use most Real strong real sharp Total faith Landed my 12lb 7oz cod on 3/0' 11lb 6oz small eye on 2/0's - Gemini Genie SRT Springs
A must have and multi hooked clip down rigs keeps everything tight and tucked up and dot rust like some other brands so buy the best Gemini. - Sunset Amnesia
The only line I will use for snoods on my clip down rigs, flappers etc. It is easy to tie and with awesome knot strength. - 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! - Ultima Tournament
Great line perfect for eaither rough or smooth ground nice and strong good with knots would recommend to any fishing freind - Laura Dawn, Oban, Argyll & Bute. Skipper: Ronnie Campbell
Ronnie Campbell is a true gentleman Always willing to help and always a great day afloat wether going for the Big Girls (Common Skate) or general fishing 10/10 - Ullcatch Bait Weever
This makes life so much better with this bit of kit .. I always lose my bait elastic or get bait juice all over it so it stinks lol .. one of the best things I have in my seat box! Also so much better for the kids aswell . - Varivas Full Circle
Brilliant for light line bass fishing at short range with crab baits. Just let the fish take the bait and then tighten up. The hook point will find its way into the lip nine times out of ten. - Ultima Distance
A very good line that is strong and durable and has good knot strength - 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. - Penn Fathom 15
Great reels lovely to cast and can bring in some canny sized fish threw the rocks or kelp well worth the money I had to buy another cracking reels - 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 Sensor
Great line great for rough ground I've used for years never let's me down and great price highly recommended - Holden Beach Buddy
The first thing you notice with this is that the material is a lot thicker than some shelters. The legs also come apart on the latest Sundridge model meaning it is easier to get in the car, though to be honest mine stays put together in an old rod holdall. It certainly has a quality feel to it! - Veals Mail Order
Always very quick delivery to the Channel Islands very good service and never a problem knocking the VAT off for us - Titan 'Titantex' Waterproof Smock
Great kit for sea fishing, nice and warm and excellent at keeping the wind out. - DIP Chromium Pro
Unbelievable mono. I used it in the .45mm version for fishing in Norway. Usually this equates to around 25lb breaking strain, but the DIP Chromium states it at 62lb. Some desk checks confirmed the breaking strain, but I was even more amazed when I got round to using it. Little stretch, supple, great abrasion resistance, still strong when sightly damaged - ticks absolutely every box for me. Hands down the best line I've ever used - doesn't weaken after pulling for a break like many others. - Vass-Tex 600 Series Thigh Wader
never have found the need for chest waders when digging and fishing... But these have lasted me 2 years an are still going strong. Had others that pierce way too easily and just break the straps.. But very impressed with these.. If this pair ever breaks will be buying a new set for sure - North East Tackle
Fantastic service, Gary Pye has been an awesome point of contact for anything Century related. - Asso Invisilk
Never tried for ages until one day decided to buy some what can I say great stuff lovely to tie knots and for casting and great for rough ground fishing or smooth ground highly recommend - MNAG Guides
Chrome Alconite Looks fantastic on a rod and a nice guide too reduced friction - 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.
