Always arrives solid frozen, even the Sand-eels which you would expect to soften before anything else are still solid, 5 stars for me 10/10 for communication Best bait service going

  • 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

  • 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

  • Varivas Full Circle
    Excellent when fishing a popped up bait for Bass. I prefer a short shank J pattern when the bait is on the bottom, but popped up these are almost guaranteed a good hook hold.

  • 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.

  • Ron Thompson Axellerator
    Best rough ground rod if your on a budget, cheap but excellent quality For such a powerful rod it still has good bite detection

  • Shakespeare Agility Long Surf 15'
    I brought this rod as a combo as a cheap way to see if I preferred fixed spool to multis, after a couple of casts it turns out I do! This is not a continental rod but a long uk style fixed spool rod, it has good sized rings and adequate fittings. The only real downside of the rod is the weight, it's proper heavy! But I was expecting that at this price point anyway. I used it with 5oz weights and half bluey's,peelers,small squid and worms. It casts these out just fine. If someone has a £100 budget for a beach rod then I would recommend this. It set me on the right path and I've now invested in a top end rod.

  • 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

  • Bassboots 100% Waterproof Fishing Smock
    These smocks have been around for a few years but didn't splash out on one till last month and must say bone dry everytime I have had it on.There not the best for walking big distances as there not breathable but what is that's 100% waterproof also come with a 5yr manufacturing guarantee.

  • Vass-Tex Team 700E Series Chest Wader - Cleated Sole
    As with all vass waders you can't real fault them keep you realy dry and you don't realy sweat in them just make sure you were extra socks or neoprene sock as your feet tend to get a big cold when the temperature drops

  • 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.

  • Century Tip Tornado Match
    I had a pair of mk1 Match -lasted me years, and really bought a new lease of life with a full rebuild a few years before they were sold. Still being put to good use by the new owner now -I only sold when I got some T800's. They are a great all rounder for 5-6oz of lead. I used them in Norway catching double figure Cod and used them scratching in matches back home. Excellent bite detection, sits well in a tide, loads up easily, power to pull out of snags. If I hadn't have been able to get myself the T800's, just as a newer rod with a Glass Tip, I'd still be using them now.

  • 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.

  • Ian Golds Super-Match Tripod
    Have had mine since I started fishing, nearly 9 years ago, still going strong, light weight, have added a single cup up the centre to fish the rod very high, and a clip on the leg to rush rod very low, have added Ian Golds trace bar ( 4 rigs out at a time usually enough in the matches I do) and use with Ian Golds trays which I have also had for ages. Perfect!

  • 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

  • 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

  • TronixPro Bait Pak
    If I'm taking a seat box fishing I bungee one (or two) of these to the lid. They are the perfect size to sit on a Beta box. It's a single cavity and it takes those nice flat ice packs you can get in the supermarket. Nice price too.

  • 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.

  • TronixPro Cobra GT
    I can totally agree that this is a superb rough ground rod. The power in the rod is totally unbelievable but the bite detection is absolutely awesome even the smallest bites are easily detected even. One of, if not the best fixed spool rod for Bristol Channel fishing on the market. I would also add if you would like to purchase this rod and your local tackle shop has one I wouldn't hesitate for too long as they sell out fast

    Good range of waterproof clothing that is ideal for boat and shore anglers.

  • 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.
    100
  • 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.
    95
  • 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!

  • Vass-Tex 350 "Team Vass" Edition Heavy Duty Waterproof Smock
    Disappointed with this smock. The front pocket quickly resembles a live well in moderate rain and my arms get soaked almost immediately. I've a feeling it's to do with the seams and not coping well with stretching. It's a shame, as the fact it is light weight, can be washed easily and folds up nice and small makes it the perfect summer smock... If I hadn't had the leaking issues. Another pet hate... I never know what to do with my hands when wearing this smock, being so used to pockets on other options. I get that pockets are hard to keep waterproof - so that's probably the thinking behind this. If you are buying one of these, I'd recommend getting one with plenty of room when putting on over layers, as I'm certain it's the stretching of the seams that causes waterproofing issues.

    The first hook out the packet when targeting smaller species been around for years and you wont find a match angler without them in his box.

  • Coast HL8
    This lamp looks and feels great sadly thats the only positives as it is seriously let down by reliability. I had 3 of these in as many weeks. They would either just cut out for no reason or when adjusting it would cut out. I need a lamp for safety reasons due to venues I fish as much as I need for it fishing. Reliability is more important than out right brightness. Thankfully when mine cut out it was on a flat beach a long walk in the dark, but thankfully not a slip on boulders or a cliff.

  • Breakaway Escape Link
    Must admit that my experience with these was short lived. They proved Tricky to set up with the correct tension and I couldn't trust that they would release the lead. I now use an upside down Gemini Rig Clip.

    Good solid, simple tripods that do everything you need. Dave Lovelock is a stickler for quality and you can see this from the high grade all aluminium construction. The accessories available are all of a high spec too.
