- Daiwa SL30SH
The 'Slosh 30' is my favourite reel for uptide fishing off of my boat in the Bristol Channel. The reel casts well and most importantly it is strong enough to cope with large fish that that can really pull hard when they use the force of the large tide pull to their advantage. They are easy to maintain and are very reasonably priced for their quality. I pair mine up with Daiwa TDX410 uptide rods. - Breakaway IMP Bait Clips
Imps are a nice compact clip that i find work well with the smaller hooks i use when match fishing. i prefer the impact shields for larger hooks/baits. The only problems i have found with the imps is that if the spring on the rig applies too much tension or if the cast is thumb braked too hard before the rig hits the sea, the small vane fails to flip round and release the hooks. - RockGrip - Fishing Boot Studding
The extra confidence this gives you when fishing slippy rock marks can be the difference between landing a fish or not. Even when the rocks are covered in ice, my RockGrip studded Sorels and Grubs grip perfectly. - 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. - Breakaway Fastlink Clips
Tried and tested Stood test of time Often copied but not same quality Never failed Great product like most breakaway stuff - Berkley Trilene Big Game
Used to use this in the hi viz green that's now discontinued. Other than being a bit thick for its breaking strain, it was massively strong and pretty hard. Benefits from a good bedding in first though to avoid fluffing. - Gemini Super Strength Genie Link Clips
I use these on all my kelpy snaggy venues and they are great compared to the original. I have yet to bend one out and lose my leads, the clip could be a bit longer in my opionion to avoid mid air releases but in general a simple and effective clip. - 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. - Vass-Tex 175 Breathable Lightweight Smock
One first appearances this smock looks awesome. It is very light weight easy to store breathable, great when it's a warm day or a busy session. Sadly that's as positive as it gets. I wore this twice and on both occasions I got soaked right through eveb on light drizzle it soon became apparent that this certainly doesn't do what it says on the tin. Very disappointing considering the brand and price. - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
great bit of kit light weight strong sturdy i have the illuminated heads and cups which work well the leg lock kit is a great extra as is the the folding trace bar very handy hook to hang a light on aswell found this to stand up well in the rough weather and it supports the rods well great quality and will last you years well worth the price - 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 - 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 - Cox & Rawle Meat Hooks
Never had one snap on me very very strong and super sharp - Skee-Tex Field Boot
It is what it says - a field boot, but not for fishing Although super warm with a waterproof lower clog, step in a rock pool above the lower part and you can be sure you will get wet feet. Nice and comfortable if you fish from piers promenades etc its a great boot but that's as far as I'd recommend it, not much in the way of ankle support. - Varivas Big Mouth TDE
The turned down eyes on these hooks greatly aids bait presentation on pennel set ups. I've recently changed to circles at the top, but before that used these on all my Pennel rigs. - Princeton Tec Apex
I used one of these for a long time... and they are very good, reliable, light weight and cheap to buy. The problem is that they don't light up as bright on rechargeables as they do on standard batteries, and the batteries end up getting expensive. I found the best batteries to run them on were Lithium batteries, which seemed to make the light brighter and they lasted for ages. More expensive than alkaline batteries but ended up buying less of them. If you only occasionally do night fishing, or need a light for one of your kids to come with you now and again, these are perfect. If you need to use one frequently, spend extra and get a Petzl Ultra. - Penn Affinity 7000
I've used this reel on a vercelli I love launching it at places like chesil but happily suited to fishing close on Weston beach My brother has same reel and abuses it and after owning it for over a year it's still in perfect condition having no faults - 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 - Penn 515 Mag2
Not as smooth as a Fathom, but mag brakes make up for it , pleasant reel to use and good gearing. - Kamasan B940
The traditional match mans hook.. Extremely sharp and strong hooks. Even better with a slight offset.. Short Shanks Are also very nice hooks for using compact worm baits for example - 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 - Damiltech Solutions Rig Winder Tray
Another great product, all my rigs neatly stored. - Breakaway Seat Box Back Rest Conversion
My fishing is much easier now I have the backrest it's made it a lot more comfy and far easier to carry - Shakespeare Beta Box
With the back rest conversion this combo takes some beating think my box has to be 17 years old and still goin stron - Asso Classic
Horrible stiff line. Avoid. - Shimano
Best fixed spool manufacturers on the planet - Leeda Icon Sport Continental 16'
I bought the 16ft fs 3 piece along with a Penn Spinfisher 7500 LC from NETS in Sunderland last summer, Feels a lot more powerful than some of the YUKI range I have used, Fast action and recovery with a 5oz lead, Coped really well with some good smoothounds - Gemini Genie SRT Springs
Use these on practically most of my match rigs and 70% of my pleasure rigs and I've got to say they are really effective and won't rust after a couple of uses - Rovex 10X High Abrasion
I used the 1lb line but had problems with it switched to 24lb and it is all I use now. It has a good low diameter and comes in 3 different colours I have been using the yellow line but switched to the red as you can see it much better in the dark and it come in a big bulk spool so you can fill around 10 reels with it. - Gemini Splash Down Solo Bait Clips
It's a shame these max out on a 4/0 - and for thicker wired 2/0 to 4/0 it involves a bit of shaving of the plastic! The main reason I use them is for heavy baits - as with most clips a bait heavier than the lead will disconnect in flight. With heavy baits I'm usually using bigger hooks, 8/0 for Halibut for instance. The product is excellent, it just needs a range of sizes to be more effective. - 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! - Century TT-R Total Tournament
Suitable for the roughest of ground, weak casters need not apply, unless fishing at short range - Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
Best tripod on the market. I know some lads who have been using the same 1 for more than 15yrs and still going strong. Tried and tested and comes out top Probably 1 of the lightest tripods which obviously makes things easier on long treks to your favourite mark. - Christchurch Angling Centre, Bournemouth
The best quality bait tackle and advice in the area. The expert staff are friendly and truly helpful a positive experience for any angler expert or novice. - 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 - BKWAG Guides
Black version of the ever popular kwag Anti tangle excellent guide for multi and fixed spool alike - Greased Weasel Shock Leader
My favoured leader, I try others from time to time but do find myself going back to weasel. - Varivas Big Mouth Extra
A really good hook but I find it doesnt stay as sharp for as long as an almost identical hook - Petzl Ultra
Really pleased with the reliability of my Ultra. I use the accu 2 battery on the headband with a spare to hand in the tackle box. The lowest setting is bright enough for baiting up etc and gives plenty of time. - Fuji lock Nuts
A handy product that stops your reel seat coming loose during use - Zziplex M4 Evo
Excellent casting rod in a fishing situation, a nice west coast Scotland rod when your need the power to lift fish in deep broken ground, will cast 6&7oz and baits all day long - Avid Carp Safeguard Carp Cradle
Have had 3 now the 1st one had a manufacturing fault avid were brilliant they exchanged it for the newer version . Eventually I upgraded to the larger version. It's an absolute must for carp care I wouldn't leave my home to hit the bank without mine. They are sturdy and built well but would advise on the larger version if you are hunting big silt pigs - Vass-Tex 350 Heavy Duty Smock
Keeps you dry from the outside, Didn't like this at all as I was soaked from the inside which is no good in the middle of winter - Breakaway Impact Leads
I use these alot love the hook holder hook allways comes of when hits the water as it should highly recommend to anyone - 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 - Daiwa Saltist Black Gold 30 / BG30
Perfect for holding a decent quantity of 25lb mono when you may hook a fish that runs. Very smooth on the retrieve and a great casting reel to boot. The finish seems to stand up to salt corrosion too. - Damiltech Solutions General Purpose Utility Tray
Bought this last year, I keep my scissors, bait elastic, baiting needles and all the small assortments in this, one of those products that once you got you wander how you lived without it. No more tipping the box upside down because your bait elastic has slipped to the bottom. - Ammo Cool Bag
Perfect for taking a minimal amount of bait with you. The less air within the cool bag the better insulated your bait will be, so it makes sense to use as small a bag as you can get away with. Two or three packs of sandeels pop in nicely; just the job for those Spring ray sessions. - Asso Invisilk
Won this line in one of the comps in "the one that got away" and what can I say it's good quality line and won't let you down. Used it for my hook lengths in comps and is really good quality smooth line - BMGAT Tip Guide
A good match for black alconites (bmnag) and black kwags (bkwag) Unlike the bmnat there's no leg needing a thread wrap so suitable for a quick change with hot melt glue
