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 ...

Can they go the distance?
Review of Fox warrior xt carp rods by
richchappy
Advantages: Good price, nice to play fish on, good name
Disadvantages: Cant cast long distances

I got them home and chucked on my reels and they seemed to balance up fairly nicely.
I got them to the bank ...

PERFECTION
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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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..

Is it worth the effort
Review of Boilies by
reggaefan
Advantages: Saves you tons of money
Disadvantages: Stinks and your wife will nag you
I have been fishing for over 25 years approx and can say the secret to catching the big fish is how you feed the lake or river before you start on a serious fishing expedition.
It gets pretty expensive buying your Boiles from your local fishing shop an ...

Ideal Shore reel.
Review of Daiwa Emcast Plus Big Pit Reel by
seaweed78
Advantages: Good casting distance, high speed retrieval, comfortable handle, good power
Disadvantages: Outer finishing seems not lasting too long.
I own a 6000 series. Yes, it is quite big but actually it weigh the same as the 5500 series, and with added line capacity and more recovery per handle turn, it was an easy decision for me. Before this reel, my collection were mostly on 4000 series sort of ...
