Product Review – Line Stops

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

These were recommended by a customer called Bob. The Drennan Grippa Stops  really do grip even low breaking strain line. So if you want a line stop that really grips the line give the Drennan Grippa Stops a try, I recommend them highly. For more information or to purchase please follow the above link.

Nash Rig Light

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

A quick word now for those of you who bought the Nash Box Logic Rig Station, the Nash Rig Light is now in. The Nash Rig Light clips onto your rig station or bivvy table and has a flexible neck so you can direct the light where it is needed. The reason it has taken so long for these to come in is that Kevin was not happy with the original batch and sent them back. We also now have the  Nash Box Logic TT Linkers in stock. The Linkers are clever little boxes which can be linked together and are really handy for storing smaller terminal tackle items. For more information or to purchase follow the above links to the main site.

New Products

Friday, March 6th, 2009

We’ve had a few new products in so I will give you a quick run down. First up we have the new Wychwood Solace Carp Rods  , these look superb with a really cool matt finish, gun metal trim rings and a signature carbon weave butt grip. Couple the price with the unconditional lifetime policy and these rods are well worth a look. On the terminal tackle front we have the new  Korda Wide Gape X Hooks  which are a stepped up version of their ever popular wide gape pattern. The Wide Gape X is the ideal snag fishing hook. From Gardner Tackle we have the dual purpose Power Lifter Weigh Bar  and the Scorpion Stik  , which is just the job for getting those boilies out at distance. Finally the new  Korda Thinking Tackle Series 3  DVD is also now available featuring season three of the popular Sky TV series. For more information or to purchase please follow the above links.

Korda Wide Gape Hooks Deliver For Rob

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Here’s the promised catch report and more photos’ from Rob O’Briens recent trip to Etang Rendevouz.

“Hi John ,
             Hope all is ok, had an excellent week at Etang Rendezvous catching 13 fish. Overall between 4 anglers we took 1100lb of fish in a week! I was in a swim at the shallow end of the lake and for the first 3 days it was warm with a southerly wind. I struggled to get a bite, where as the others in the deep water were getting plenty including a stunning 48lb common and 72 lb catfish. All changed after  a north easterly came in and the fish followed it. The change in wind direction also changed My fortunes and I had My first fish in the morning at 8lb then a 25lb later on in the afternoon(photo in previous blog Rendevouz For Rob). Through the week I had regularly caught fish ranging from 2 30′s , 6 20′s and the remainder all under 20. My best of the week was this beauty below which weighed 35lb.
 One of the fish I caught had a bit off history being one of the lakes original stock of mirror carp. It has a Dutch cut tail which was probaly done in the 80′s. As it is one of the lakes oldest residents and rarely comes out I felt priviliged to catch it. 
                                                                                                                               
The rig I used for all the fish was 6″ of  Korda Hybrid Stiff  hooklink in gravel stripped back 1″ from the hook with a size 4  Korda Wide Gape Hook, tied blowback style with a rig ring stopped by a hook bead and a soft hair. The bait on which I caught most of the fish was sticky baits bloodworm dumbells topped with fake corn. This was fished over a tightly baited spot of carp pellet (carpe intensive), maize and 18mm bloodworm boilies (sticky baits) and a handfull off your own Super Spod mix (hemp betaine and maggot).”       
 See you soon,
Rob
Well that was a great report on what was a fantastic session for Rob. Thanks for sharing it with us Rob
