Best Clutch ever
Review of Shimano Big Baitrunner Reel Lc by samerlin

Advantages: front drag clutch
Disadvantages: some may find it slighty heavy

In my opinion this is the best front drag bait runner. I think the line capacity is unbelievable it can handle any big fish in european waters. I like fishing in all weathers (rain, sun or snow) and I find it is a real workhorse. It has a waterproof cl ... Read review

Abu Garcia 6500 one of the best reels you will use.
Review of Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500C3 CT Mag Pro by Bluetoff

Advantages: Strong and a nice size.
Disadvantages: None really

Many people who fish dislike using the multiplier reel and stick to the fixed spool type ( type with bail arm that you move over the top of the spool). Although the fixed spool type is very easy to use and most probably one of the first reels we all use, ... Read review

Solid lure rod
Review of Fox Predator xs special lure rod by richchappy

Advantages: great for most situations
Disadvantages: Not the best for long range due to length

This rod has a casting weight of 60-110 grams, and is 7ft in length, it is suited for the largest of lures and medium sized jerk baits. Braid wise you want to be looking at 50-65lb breaking strain. Couple this with a nice heavy trace, personally i use aro ... Read review

Top rod
Review of Daiwa longbow carp rod by richchappy

Advantages: Great value, Slim design, high quality fittings
Disadvantages: None

Holding this rod in your hand you could really think you were holding a rod worth well over £200, and when you find it is less than £100 you realise what a great value bit of kit this really is. A super slim blank makes the rod look great and understat ... Read review

Advantages: Good price, nice to play fish on, good name
Disadvantages: Cant cast long distances

Having looked at a few rods around this price range, i was very interested in these, they looked good quality and and had the name to go with it. I got them home and chucked on my reels and they seemed to balance up fairly nicely. I got them to the bank ... Read review

Review of E.S.P. terry hearn carp rod by richchappy

Advantages: The best fish playing rod out there
Disadvantages: Struggles with real long range stuff

The best rod out there. In my opinion anyway, there are way to many rods designed for punching leads to the horizon that are like a broom when playing a fish and often results in hook pulls. Not good when getting takes in the first place is hard enough. ... Read review

Zensorflex carp rods
Review of Svendsen Sports zensorflex carp rod by richchappy

Advantages: Cheap, do the job
Disadvantages: Not the best but what do you expect

This rod is what i would class as a budget rod, they money you pay for it, around the £20 mark, you are not expecting anything amazing. But really for the money you cant complain. It has enough back bone to cast leads and feeders, and also its soft enough ... Read review

Mackerel as bait for sea fishing.
Review of Other Baits by rayurie

Advantages: it is free
Disadvantages: Takes a bit of time and effort, and can be a bit smelly

Mackerel as bait for sea fishing. Those of you that have been sea fishing from a boat will know that Mackies can be a pain in the proverbial b*m when you are trying to get your rigs down to the sea bed where the decent fish are supposed to be. But ... Read review

Quick review of Shakespeare Ganza rear-drag reel (2403)
Review of Shakespeare Ganza rear-drag reel (2403) by ndjbailey

I have had 1 for about 5 years now. What can i say brill just about to buy another one. Still no back play and i have had some good double figures on this reel. Ihave had other makes of reel and they tend to flake on the paint work. The rear drag does what it is supposed to and mine is still in 100% working condition apart from one hadle broke when i fell and landed on it . It is a strong and robust reel i have yet to see 1 to compair with it cheers. Nigel jackson Preston lancashire .. Buy one you will not be dissapointed..
