Sometimes it’s the little things that can make all the difference; and such is the case with this quick release adaptor from Prologic. OK, you can’t use it on the hook, so in that respect it’s not going to catch you any more fish, however, if we are talking about ... [full story]

I’m not a massive fan of ready rigs – so it could be argued that I’m not the best person to be doing a review on them - but first let me explain my reasons why. I’m all in favour of ready rigs for those who do not have the ... [full story]

I received an email from Tony Davies-Patrick the other day asking if I wanted a copy of his latest ‘Carp Adventures France’ DVD to review for the site. The words ‘bears’ and ‘woods’ sprung to mind as I immediately fired off a reply penning a hearty approval! I ... [full story]

It was back in April that Tony Booker at Angling Concepts first got in touch with us to tell us about a new range of carp baits they were distributing in the UK. Zoom Carp have been a big name in Europe for some time but it’s only recently that their products have made ... [full story]

I had seen the Nash Triggalink advertised for some time and as soon as I saw it I thought I must get some of that. However, as is usually the case, I never got round to it. That is until a few weeks ago, all I can say is that I wish I ... [full story]

Fishrite have been supplying quality PVA products for some time now, and their PVA Mesh Dispenser has helped me put more than my fair share of fish on the bank.
