Tackle Reviews
This section is going to look at items of tackle, accessories and clothing that I actually buy and use myself. I feel that reviews of rods, reels, and the usual gear we all buy is well covered already, and I see no real point in me adding to what is already out there in general terms.
The intention of this section is to pick out the more unusual items I come across, as well as some new product that catches my eye. These may not necessarily be found in tackle shops, but could be items not directly intended for angling use. It will cover all aspects of angling, both salt and freshwater, and hopefully will highlight product that proves useful, but importantly also offers reliability, durability and value for money.

Rolson 3W COB Multi Purpose Light
I found this Rolson Multi Purpose Light when walking round a Range store and looking for an LED light that would illuminate my carp bivvy, but also be light and compact enough to take with me sea fishing for short night sessions when I wanted a light...

Inova Bait Binder
INOVA are a new brand in the fishing tackle trade, and have recently introduced an improved bait elastic dispenser called the Bait Binder. I’ve been using this little gem for a couple of months now and find it the best elastic thread dispenser by far. It looks...
Briers Working Gloves
When handling heavy, slimy fish, such as catfish and conger eels, I’ve learnt through experience that wearing a decent pair of gloves saves not just your hands from wear and tear, but also helps safeguard the fish as you have better grip and control over its movements...
