Sorry I offended you mate.

So, I work with Tronix and I shot that video. The first thing to say is that it is designed for top-end match fishing. There is quite a lot of random stuff written online about it, but we're buying in very few of these, it's a flagship model. We know it won't sell in its hundreds. It's also all...

We've got quite a few articles here that reference the Whitby Rig, and it's use for various species (y) https://www.talkseafishing.co.uk/search/28473/?q=whitby+rig&t=ams_article&o=date

I used an Avet for boat fishing for three trips, wasn't a massive fan to be honest, it just didn't feel smooth to me and got shut of them. Cascars had issues with his as well. I quite liked the Accurates I had, but they were way over the top for British fishing. Penn Fathoms have been my go to...

I've been rebuilding the front end (Magazine) today. So, there were a few glitches. The database for the front end hasn't really been looked at since the WSF days in terms of having a clean-up. So, while I was doing that, there might have been a few glitches with the site showing random pages as...

Stock is a nightmare across the industry at the moment. Some companies have been waiting three years for orders, and there still isn't any sign of it arriving. It's nothing new, I remember when I had the old WSF Shop we ordered some waders from Pure Fishing, and some Stradics from Shimano. I got...

We came to an agreement where by I don't ask questions about Amazon parcels, Mrs T doesn't ask questions about long cardboard tubes. Works well tbh :)

Weihai is pretty much the centre of tackle production in China. It's a beautiful city overlooking the Yellow Sea, it is China's apple-growing region. It was a British Colony up until 1930 and was leased back to the RN until the 40s. It's a mix of colonial architecture and ultra-modern...

Any expensive (£350+ rod), not made in the UK, rod, is more than likely to be built in Korea. Most brands use a Korean factory somewhere in the chain, if they don't have their own local manufacturing. Without giving brand secrets away in the sea-angling sector, probably the most prestigious...

In all honesty, it depends on the factory. Top end Chinese factory, I'd go for the Chinese one. If it was a toss up between UK, China and Korea, I'd go Korea.

That must be incredible for him! The rail network amazes me. In just over 13 years, they've laid almost 26,000 miles of high-speed network that can run trains at over 200mph. We've essentially failed at laying 330 miles of high-speed track, in the same timeframe...which, as the inventor and...

Quite a few “Made in Japan” rods are made in China and stamped Made in Japan. Been there, walked the factory floor, seen it. The “Made In” thing is a bit of a fallacy tbh, unless it’s made in Europe where there are all sorts of checks and balances on provenance. Even then you can ship over a...

I thought this was a good little write-up. Not sea fishing, more coarse/specimen fishing. I know Leigh quite well, and until he wrote this, I didn't know how he was feeling. https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/blog/coarse/has-fishing-helped-to-save-my-life/

Looking forward to getting the ones you sent me on the tackle box @Bigads 👌

I don't believe that is the case, to be honest. Rods and reels are high capital expenses, most people buy for the long term, and the only people who have ever constantly swapped and changed rods in fishing are match anglers. It has always been a minority who buy rods often. It is why I've always...

Costs generally have gone up quite considerably over the past year. Some manufacturers have pushed up their prices to compensate, and some have tried to keep it the same, knowing the trade, as a whole, is having a bad time. The whole industry is in an over-supply situation currently, with many...

It's quite bizarre really when it costs a grand total of £35 a year to register.

Great shame. My first multiplier beach setup was a pair of Zziplex NG1s handed down to me by my dad. End of an era ?

Some of the posts on here are quite frankly shameful. Post about the issue and not the person. Unlike most tackle companies, @KarenTurkana has taken the time to come on here and at least respond, whether you like that response, is irrelevant and shouldn't lead to some of the posts directed...

Well, I took a week off last week and went back up to Sutherland for some trout fishing. I say trout fishing, but in reality, I spent more time in the pub or at the bottom of a single malt than I did trout fishing - the intention was there though, honest. I went to Kinbrace, to a little cottage...
