- Varivas Big Mouth Extra
Rare to find a hook this strong with such a razor sharp point to it. I use the BMX with big fish baits when targeting eels, huss and tope on the north Devon coast have yet to have one fail. - Shimano
Best fixed spool manufacturers on the planet - 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. - Shakespeare Beta Box
Had mine for 4 years now and its still going strong. Great size box and small and light enough to carry on longer walks, teamed with the seatbox Sherpa. - Ultima Tournament
Great line perfect for eaither rough or smooth ground nice and strong good with knots would recommend to any fishing freind - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
Best tripod on the market! Sturdy and great for match anglers as it has the leg lock kit and trace bar this provides luminous cups to be able to see them in the dark Nothing I can say apart from top quality!! - Sakuma Shock Leader
Great leader as well as rig body material.I use it from 40lb-100lb great knot strength. - Nash Bait - The Key
Used this bait and the hookers on a trip to a large reservoir tbh I wasn't overly impressed with them and resorted back to an old faithful bait which produces the goods.they had a great smell but overall quality wasn't there after air drying I had ones which were easily squeezed and no good for a throwing stick or catapult. - Veals Mail Order
Always very quick delivery to the Channel Islands very good service and never a problem knocking the VAT off for us - 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 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! - Penn Surfblaster 8000
Penn surblaster in my opinion is the most reliable and hard working reel you will find for the small price. I personally think you will never find a more reliable reel anywhere for the price - Breakaway
So many great products from breakaway... All of the terminal tackle Is great quality and There is always new products coming out that make fishing just that bit easier.... 5 star from me... - 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 - Penn 515 Mag2
Not as smooth as a Fathom, but mag brakes make up for it , pleasant reel to use and good gearing. - KWAG Guides
Really good quality eyes. Work really well with braid. You won't be dissapointed - Allan's Marine, Portsmouth
Great advice, great service, great selection, great rod and reel repairs. Nick, there owner, is a brilliant bloke and always up for a bit of banter or just a fishing chat. Also if you spend all of your pocket money in there for 3 years solid he might, I said might, make you a cup of coffee. Might. - Sakuma Nite Crystal
Really like this line. Have used for many years. Have tried others but always go back to using it. I use fixed spools and find comes of reel and casts well. Normally use 16lb or 14lb. Both knot really well with good abrasion resistance and not to much stretch. The strength to diameter is good with 16-0.33 and 14-0.30 Also use the red crystal which is the same quality but not so good for night fishing if you like to see your line. - Gemini Tackle
Quality gear use all the time - Sakuma 545 Manta Extra
My "go to" hooks every time for conger rays and hounds ---Super sharp and very very strong ---For shore angling no need to go to ridiculous sizes they are a wider gape than most other hooks so I never found a need to go any bigger than 3/0 .You know that even a good "double" conger wont straighten the hook but this can be a problem if you fish very rough ground and you hook up on a big rock then you wont bend the hook out but I find this is worth risking. - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
With out doubt the best tripod for sea fishing! Great price aswell .. had mine years and not one thing has gone wrong with it! .. - Century
Having used many models of Century I find them to superb rods, although they can be a bit to powerful when it comes to what they describe as a match rod ! (Supermatch mk2) the only model I didn't enjoy was the Sport mk2, hence the mark down. - 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! - Penn Cool Bag
A nice simple single cavity cool bag. Most bags end up stinking after a while but last week I got brave and put mine in the washing machine! The liner is detachable and can be wiped out. The zip seems pretty decent and should last a while too. I like this. - BKWAG Guides
Black version of the ever popular kwag Anti tangle excellent guide for multi and fixed spool alike - Varivas Big Mouth
Interestingly I have heard these criticised, a couple of anglers said they broke on them with big fish, but personally I love these for big fish baits for congers, big cod etc and I have never had a problem. They also do great Pennel hooks in these, which avoid kinking the line. - Rovex Devil
Cheap line but is not very strong if you have this line I would recommend that you change it after a session as it doesn't seem to hold its strength and will snap easly - 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 - 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 - 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. - Century Eliminator T800
Perfect for mixed ground match fishing, where a combination of bite sensitivity and power reserves are required. Best with 2 or 3 worm baits and a 5oz, but equally happy with a whole squid and 6oz lead. Compresses easily, feeds back everything, bags of power when needed. - Varivas Saltwater Champions
A get through bucket loads of this particular pattern of hook. Size 3 and 2 make for an ideal flatty hook, most suited to my style of match fishing. I might add, when fishing in the Bristol Channel there is more than a good chance of a bingo fish coming along at any given moment....not a problem. ...these hooks are super strong for their size, giving more than a good chance of landing a bigger fish! Successful match fishing is all about small margins and I feel I'm covering lots of bases with the Varivas S/W champion. - Penn 525 Mag2
Bloody great reel. This was my first multiplier and was worried about getting nests all the time. However started off with the brakes on full, then eased them off as time went on. Well built and well worth the money - Varivas Big Mouth Extra
Theres hooks and there are hooks. The big mouth Extras I have been using for 7 years plus by far my favourite hooks. Landing eels over 30lb in the snagiest places, double figure blondes on reefs to double figure hounds. I have yet to have one snap with a fish on. Super sharp I can vouch for that! Super strong, they do not bend easy which for the type of fishign I do is vital. I use the these for the majority of my fishing, I am able to present big baits easily with a exposed hook point nicely. I will not use another brand as others have always let me down at the critical moment. - Zziplex Primo Synchro
Probably the most popular Zziplex ever made, a great all round rod - 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. - All-In Angling Tours
Had a great time.didnt want for anything.all you do is fish.they out you on the marks.they cook your food,do the dishes.all you have to do is catch the fish and put your feet up.even if I managed to do it for half the price .i wouldn't.these guys make the experience much better. It was that good im booked to go again in two weeks with them and will probaberly go back once a year. There was only one problem.cliff is a feeder.so be prepared to have huge meals put infront of you lol. All the fun with out the hassle .well worth it. - Varivas Big Mouth Extra
Very strong hooks. I use them when fishing off my boat in the Bristol Channel where the big fish have the advantage of hanging back in the big tide pull and need bullying. I also use them on my big fish Norway rigs where I need a large gape to make sure the hook points are clear of the large fish baits. - Shakespeare Beta Box
Great for those wet windy days, The legs are a bit too long when not using on sand making the skirts a bit harder to fill - 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. - Zziplex Dymic HST Evo
A slightly beefed up version of the already very popular dymic hst, the evo being 20% in the butt, A great rod for putting large baits at distance, not an out & out poker as it still has a very nice tip on it - 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 - Veals Mail Order
Nice and reliable, use these often and delivery is always quick - Petzl Ultra
Light weight, bright and reliable. The battery life is great and are quickly rechargeable. A super headlight! - 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
A great place to stay for the larger groups visiting Norway. Excellent fishing right on your doorstep, with a limitless number of marks to fish from boat or shore within a 20 minute drive in multiple directions. Excellent facilities, such as a filleting house, freezer rooms and drying rooms make for a comfortable stay. - Breakaway Fastlink Clips
Best and most relaible clips about. In 10 years never had one fail. Its quick and easy to switch rigs. I will never use anything else. - Namix Leads
Only leads I use these days and can be sourced for a very reasonable price. very aerodynamic and the flat back is deal for streamlining the bigger baits. - Rig Kraft
awesome rigs attention to detail is second to none - Northern Norway Shore Fishing, Bodo
Have stayed with Simon a few times now and have known him over 2 years. The apartment is spacious and well equipped with everything you need. Also with Simons knowledge of Bodo and the surrounding area you really can't go wrong. The apartment is a 15 minute drive from the airport with a supermarket en route. Having been to Norway 16 times now this really is as good as it gets.
