Obviously don’t know what your grandson is like, but, my boys need to catch so they don’t get bored, so can thoroughly recommend lure fishing for mackerel, baited LRF, etc, just to get regular bites. All the best, it is great fun to watch and help in their development in this awesome hobby.

Look forward to hearing your review. I have four of the slightly older Tournaments and love three of them, the 15ft HTS just doesn’t suit me, but, the others are amazing!

Bit of sun and warmth, meant that life should start flooding back into the inshore waters, so took my youngest out for an early BH start. Got to the mark and my heart sank, no bird life and no obvious signs. Still waded around the shallows to a rocky outcrop we like and there was definitely more...

Stunning fish, well done.

I have not written this info or have any link to the company, but, wanted to share it as it is superb. https://riggedandready.net/blogs/the-best-travel-rod-in-the-world-probably/rock-fishing-bait-and-tactics-the-ultimate-guide If you want to have some successful and easy fishing when away then...

Some lovely fish well done👏🏻👌🏻

The locals are very precious about their marks, plus landowners do not like people roaming. My advice is to check out the footpaths and look to exploit the access they give to the creeks, but, even then you will probably get some posh moron try and move you on. Boat or kayak opens up the whole...

I seem to remember an article in Sea Angler that the heavy version was designed for some of the England casting team who were fishing for large red drum and huge rays in Texas. As had been stated, the light version was highly sort after at one time.

For lure fishing the Savage Gear SGS6 for £99 is a bargain, good all round rod. In terms of beach fishing, fishing Borth and Tan y Bwlch is very different to the Bristol Channel, so difficult to recommend a rod that would suit both.

Awesome report and pics, well done.

All the best with your new rod, what have you replaced please? Rods are such personal things, it is always fascinating to hear first hand reviews. I see there is another reincarnation of the rod coming soon in conjunction with Marc Cowling. So many options, so little time and money🤪
