- Daiwa 7HT
Good reliable reel that can be used straight from the box without too much tuning in as it is very forgiving. A power handle can help solve the problem of finding the standard handle a bit too small. - Veals Mail Order
Nice and reliable, use these often and delivery is always quick - Daiwa Saltist Black Gold 20 / BG20
My go-to Bristol Channel reel when fishing the upper reaches and big line capacity is not a requirement. Compared to similar reels, the Saltist oozes torque and you can keep on winching under load when other reels have given up the ghost. Mine are two years old and there is very little sign of any corrosion. Goes without saying that they cast beautifully with a single red block in place too. - Penn Fathom 12
Small reel with a big reel attitude ! v same winching power as the fathom 15 in a more compact frame, casts superb, smooth silky drag, and comfortable power handle. Has been said fathoms have issues with going through brake blocks, this i cured with replacing with Abu fibre blocks, just the two, and it's now the perfect reel for distance ray fishing, there is always the option to Mag them, but the fibre blocks do the job a treat ! - Century Carbon Metal
One of the first rods I bought and it is awesome still have it now casts very smoothly and can handle all types of ground. It can handle big baits and sits nice in the tide would recommend this rod to any one - 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. - Cox & Rawle Meat Hooks
Never had one snap on me very very strong and super sharp - 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. - Ullcatch Bait Weever
Great bit of kit a must have! Why it has taken a tackle company so long to come out with a product that work and makes baiting up so easy is beyond me. Well done Ullcatch........... - 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 - 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. - Damiltech Solutions
Excellent thought out ideas and manufactured to a high standard,Dave's very helpful and will always go the extra mile to please! - Gerry's Fishing
I went an fished my first match with gerrys bought a few items from the shop was a pleasant bunch of staff chris foote was also helpfull whilst out fishing I would happily do business with them again looking forward to the next match - Breakaway Impact Shield
Completely agree with Jansen, the only clip worth considering for big hooks/baits. - Asso Oblivion
I've been using asso oblivion for a while now and I've found it has superb knots and very strong. Very affordable line and can handle good sized fish aswell - 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 - Kamasan B940M
I have gone over to these from the ordinary b940s for my match rigs.. Fine wire and strong enough for likely catches in matches.. Sharp is an understatement!! Never had one bend out on a fish when reeling it in , but have snapped them when trying to get them out of deep hooked fish!! - Breakaway Fastlink Clips
Fantastic product The link being closed (inside) makes it virtually snag free, great for fishing into kelp etc Also a fast rig changing item when used on the end of your leader - 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 - Cox & Rawle
Very good company fast friendly staff - Suffix Zippy Shock leader
I use this 60lb leader hook lengths whilst targeting cod in the Bristol Channel.. - Conoflex Flattie Fanatic
Conoflex's rod for the estuary angler, a lot softer and more tip sensitive than a lot of their rods but still able to cope well with bigger fish like bass and codling. - Shakespeare Beta Box
Mine must be at least 15 years old now and it still functions as it should. Admittedly, there's not a lot to go wrong but the catch still works and the box is still waterproof. Considering the price of less than thirty quid, no sea angler should be without one of these! - Ultima Power Steel
I've tried this in the .30mm on the 7HT's and it was pretty good. It did seem very strong for its diameter and I got a few trips out of it. Not bad at all. - Daiwa SL30SH
One of the best rough ground reels on the market with a quick retrieve of 6:1:1 made like a tank and very strong what can I say apart from marvellous - Varivas Chinu
Great quality hooks. .. used on all my penned rigs as the top hook and nab 95% of the fish, usually nails them in the scissors too which makes un-hooking easier, also like a simple large Chinu with half a crab for my hound fishing where you do not need big baits and pennel rigs are un-nesscary, again nearly all fish are neatly hooked in the scissors which means I can get the fish back in the water quickly. That reminds me, I need to order some more... - Century Eliminator T900
I have been using the T900 since May 2015. What a fantastic rod! It has a powerful butt section and a nice fishing tip sesction. It registers bite even in stong tidal and windy conditions. But has the power to drag big fish in and through the toughest conditions. Recently landed a 31lb 3oz Conger at a very Kelpy venue. I got to ground a couple of times and snagged up and I managed to bully the eel free and land it. I felt every knock and dive it is a sensitive and responsive rod that can handle anything with ease. It is also at home on the clean to mixed ground where even the smallest fish can feedback through the rod what they are doing. In the right hands it will cast a long way, but even in the hands of shorter casters it is a delight and is easily tamed. It is very useable rod that anyone can use novice or experienced. Not only does it look stunning it is a joy and pleasure to fish with. - Berkley Trilene Big Game
i have my spinning gear spooled up with this and i find it works well in both lure fishing for pike and in the sea for bass casts nice not to heavy and a nice retrieve aswell also it lays nice on spool for the price not a bad line - Veals Mail Order
Always very quick delivery to the Channel Islands very good service and never a problem knocking the VAT off for us - TronixPro Cobra GT
I was lucky enough to get to use a friends one for a couple of weeks. He had recently bought a matching pair and decided that he wanted to sell them. My first impression was that they certainly looked good, but boy were they heavy. I took the weights out of the butt section to make it more manageable, but even so it is way too heavy. It is like the first glass fibre beach casting rod my Grandad gave me when I was 16. It performed about as well. It feels like a glass fibre rod and not a modern carbon one. I tried all sorts of weights and different casting styles to see if I could get it to cast any distance. The best I got out of it was about 80yds with bait. For some that is not a bad distance, but I can regularly hit over 100 with bait. It certainly has backbone and if i was after another Conger or Wrasse rod for rough work then it would be ideal. However at £350 there are a hundred other rods out there for less than half that price, that I would choose before this one. My mate even offered it to me for £150. I read one review that said it cast like a £500-£600 rod. Who ever wrote that had obviously never used a rod in that price category. I think the reason you see lots of positive reviews on this rod is because most people wont admit that they have just wasted so much money on a rod that I can only describe as one of the worst I have ever used. I am glad I was able to try one before I bought it, as I too had been taken in by the hype. - Petzl Ultra
Light weight, bright and reliable. The battery life is great and are quickly rechargeable. A super headlight! - Shakespeare Team Box
These box's can store a lot of gear. I have own the beta box but never had enough room for my gear but with this box there is tons of room and has better closing and opening clips two of them instead of the one - VMO Crane Swivels
My go to swivels for heavier rigs etc I have never had any fail on me. Good price and don't corrode fast like some brands - 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. - SealSkinz All Weather Riding Gloves
Made for cycling, adaptable to fishing! Dexterous and durable the ideal combination! - Damiltech Solutions Rig Tree
Dave Mills of Damiltech always up for good ideas.. Top bloke and will kit out your box the way you want!!.. Check out new product.. The Damiltech tree for holding your rigs.. Quality. - Mustad Nordic Bend
Very delicate fine wire hooks. They do bend easily, but you wouldn't target big fish with them; I like the size 6 or 4 for scratchy match fishing. I like the offset hook too. - Baits R Us
A fantastic bait supplier. Delivery is excellent, it always arrives well packed and still frozen, I've even had live rag by post and its still been top notch. If you live locally you can phone and collect bait too (saves postage charge). Bait prices are really good overall. I also like their smaller 'handy pack' sizes on bait like squid for a quick fishing session. They also now have a stock of terminal tackle, leads etc, which is really handy. - 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. - Akios Shuttle 656 SCM
Great reel, massively engineered, but quite heavy for a 6500 sized reel - TronixPro Viper GT
Bought one of these rods a few month back and these are totally marvellous...great bite detection and Definatley worth the money...wouldent go higher than 5oz on this..absolutely impressed - Century Eliminator T1000
Excellent rod for the harshest of conditions. Handles a 7oz lead and 8oz of bait with ease, will send a 6oz flying and yet maintains the bite sensitivity to pick up the smallest of bites. Pairs perfectly with either a big fixed spool or multi, and is happy with either braid or mono. - Great White, Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. Skipper: Sean Heath
Always Out with Sean.. Never a bad day .. Allways great fun and he puts the effort in to find the fish!! allways on the move to find a better spot.. Great fishing aboard Great white..... - Akios 656 CTM
Love all the reels from akios! Well built and for the price I don't think there's any think better on the market! Simon sevice is second to none aswell! - Solent Tackle, Southsea
Solent tackle excellent shop with a huge range of fresh and frozen baits. Pete will always go the extra mile to help. - Korda Mixa Hooks
Another great hook paternity from korda - Sakuma Shock Leader
Must admit this is the best I have tried yet. Generally stick to 60lb breaking strain as I use 6oz leads. Tried a few cheaper rig bodies but they were really thick and impossible to get a good knot. I do t think you need tapered with this. I don't try casting to the moon so I don't mind kissing 10 yards without a taper. It does Spring off the reel without tension all the same. Decent stuff for a decent price. Haven't had a knot slip or a breakage yet - Robs Tackle Shop, Bridlington
Great tackle shop good local knowledge and runs competitions frequently for charities - TronixPro Cobra GT
I recently won the Cobra gt 4.5 and must say on first impressive well thought out rod but I find it to be a little to heavy and the tip imo lets its down when using lighter leads for flounders and the likes don't get me wrong its a great rod but more suited to bigger leads and baits it will put a bait a long way but I find other rods on the market give better value for money if you want a conti rod to fish light and heavy leads - Phat cat, Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan. Skipper: Craig Deans
Excellent skipper with some big fish boated on this boat also shark fishing throughout the summer months
