- Century Excalibur C Curve
A nice mixed ground rod that everyone wanted until the release of the eliminator T range appeared - Conoflex Diablo
A rod designed for targeting big fish over rough ground. Give this rod a miss if you like to mixed fish or scratch in matches but for the likes of congers, Rays or Nordic cod and halibut it is an ideal bit of kit. - Ron Thompson Beach Buddy
I once owned one of these but wasn't too impressed. The canopy that stretches across was very tight and the stitching started to go. I got rid before it got worse. It was only £49.99 at the time so you do get what you pay for I guess. - Ultima Enigma Super Snood
I gave this a go for a change of snood line just to see if it was up to all the hype. I have to be honest, it was nice enough, quite supple, but will probably stick to Amnesia in future. - Tronix Fishing
When I first started sea fishing tronixpro wasn't about Now I've been back to sea fishing for a couple months it's surprising how quickly they have clearly grown from budget gear to now top range rods is Cobras which own a pair of They seem to have a good team on board and def doing well Fair play - Century Kompressor S
I have had mine for four years now , was looking a bit tatty so tried out a few different rods but kept coming back to this so I decided to just spend some money on getting it rebuilt , never looked back it's always the first rod out of the bag big thumbs up , great over mixed ground with enough back bone to cope with big fish 10/10 - Breakaway Cascade Swivel
Great swivels for your 2/3 hook clipped rigs incorporated with srt springs work a treat on your distance match rigs. - Daiwa
I don't think you can beat daiwa rods and reels Absolute joy to use Their after sales service is second to none - Breakaway IMP Bait Clips
Must admit to not being so keen on these. Big baits in a side wind tend to come unclipped. Unfortunately most of my fishing involves at least a modest size bait so I prefer to use an Impact Shield. If you're using smaller baits such as worm or a small sandeel, they do the job though. - Leeda Icon M-Sport Ultra Power
Excellent, strong rod for not a lot of dollar. Seems easier to load than the power version to me so sort of making the power version superfluous. Needs a strong hand and a strong technique to get and real distance if that is your objective. Reasonable tip, won't see pout rattles but a 1lb bass will show up nicely. Recommended - 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 - 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 - Olivers Angling, Clevedon
Great little shop every thing you need under one roof - Gemini Genie Rig Clips
Nice easy clips to use and certainly helps if you like to change rigs during competitions where the need to mix the different types of species that you're targeting on the day. - Zziplex M4
A fantastic mixed ground rod, very user friendly 1 of the best rods Iv'e used for casting in a fishing situation - Petzl Ultra Rush
The 4th brightness setting on this is absolutely amazing when fishing from a high ledge, to look down to land a fish. Typically, I only need settings one or two to fish though, and 3 sessions in, using a mix of 1 and 2, I still have over half charge on the larger battery. The previous Ultra would have run out, so efficiency is clearly improved on this model. The 3 sessions accounted for at least 16 hours of use for the light. Without doubt worth the money. They are lights that last the test of time. - 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. - Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips
A fantastic addition to your rig if you use cheaper leads, un-clips every time without fail Again though the same problem as with the Splashdown weights, anything over a 4/0 hook depending on hook brand will not fit in the clip - 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 - Leeda Icon M-Sport Match
For the marks I fish this is easily the best rod of the M-sport range. Not a floppy wand but easy to compress with a sensible technique and will reward a stronger style, plenty of power for hauling Solent weed, fantastic tip. Great all rounder. - Vercelli Enygma Maniac Surf
I love this rod, and not just because it is in my favourite colour purple! Great for light fishing with 2-3oz leads, but still with enough stiffness to give it a bit of a whack if needed. Ideal on clean ground and beaches with little drifing weed. - Damiltech Solutions Rig Winder Tray
Another great product, all my rigs neatly stored. - 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 - 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 - Century Tip Tornado Sport
I love my tip tornado sports they can handle any thing you throw at them the best rod in my opinion in the tip tornado range and also look great the way they are made - Breakaway Seat Box Back Rest Conversion
Not many people I know don't have these I think you could improve on great design with a bit of padding on straps and lower back as can dig in - Ian Golds Rod Carrier
I tried a few rod bags before finally settling for the ian golds it holds my igloo,rods,tripod and easy to carry folds out flat so very easy to pack your rods ect in to - Daiwa SL30SH
Bullet proof - Anyfish Anywhere 14' Six & Bait
Very good solid rods, only gripe is i I found the eyes very delicate and rod bags came apart within 3 months. - Greased Weasel Shock Leader
Really supple and makes lovely knots, wish I could find it in bulk spools. - 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. - IMAX Coast Thermo Smock
A great warm smock. Despite it's size it is remarkably warm. Nice elastic neoprene cuffs and the outer jacket being able to fasten up to prevent water running down the sleeve. Reflective writing always good for safety. Nice big zips on the side of the water which makes it easier to put on and the zips are waterproof. This is a well thought out smock! - Daiwa 7HT Turbo
What can I say 7ht one of the best casting reels I've used got me my pb cast easy to clean and service canny price just a brilliant reel well worth the money. - Hookers Baits
Just got my second delivery from Hookers Baits, cant fault the service . Hazel Tipping is a lovely lady to talk to and very helpful. I will defo be using them again in the future . Merry Christmas to you all and thank you. - IMAX Cool Bag
Had the medium version for a while. It's a bit of a funny size and doesn't hold very much frozen bait. It does the job with a few wraps of worm though. The various pockets are a bit unnecessary in my opinion as are the zips which eventually salt up. - 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. - Snowbee Rock Hopper Boots
A fantastic boot, great for the slippery rocks etc Used mine for a year big draw back for me was no thermal qualities - Leeda Assassin Beachcaster
Absolutely fantastic rod, rrp around £69.99 you can't fault it, Light but powerful enough to cast a 6oz and big'ish baits, caught my 1st ever shore double figure fish on mine I rate it highly would thoroughly recommend it to beginners and more experienced anglers alike - Penn Surfblaster 8000
Great and reliable real at a good price, my only gripe is the coating flaking off the handles after a while, but this doesn't affect the reels performance at all - just looks a bit tatty - Varivas Power Crane Swivels
Without doubt the best quality swivels money can buy. Incredibly strong for their size and as you would expect from the Japanese Varivas brand, they are built to last. I have reused these on numerous occasions after giving used swivels a spray of WD40. - Kamasan B940M
I've found these hooks to bend out far too easily, even on flounder. I've also found the occasional brittle batch that have snapped instead of bent. I'd much rather use Mustard Nordic bend hooks if I need a fine wire, which bend more predictably, don't snap and are actually finer and sharper. - Varivas Seriola iKstyle
I've received some of these hooks, and on testing strength and sharpness, they appear excellent. Love the pattern. I've yet to fish with them so will update my review when I have. - Cree Headtorch
im not quite sure which ones Ive got but for £18 cant go wrong.. Super bright lamp and are very heavy duty,, Get a decent set of batteries and a single set will last a 4/5 hour session!! Keeps up with the best of lamps and never had any issues with them ... - Damiltech Solutions Tube Tidy
Tube tides are excellent no more drag wires sticking in back - Vass
Fantastic uk company with exelent clothing range and wadders - Leeda Icon M-Sport Match
Excellent rods for the money, fish's well above it's price range in terms of action etc, IMO a genuine bargain ! - 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. - Penn 515 Mag2
I've had both the 515 and the 525 and they are both a smooth quality reel that will hold good fish - Princeton Tec Apex
This was my primary light until I upgraded to the Petzl Vario. For the money you not only get ample light output but a solid build and a five year warranty! My favourite thing about this lamp is that it runs on AA batteries and you could either carry spares in your trace wallet or get a set of rechargeable batteries and a charger for less than a tenner if you fish regularly. Be sure to go for the latest model which kicks out a whopping 275 Lumens though. - Damiltech Solutions Seat Box Catch Repair Kit
A life saver on my 15 year old box giving it new life Shame products aren't more easy to get hold of
