Sea Fishing Angling

Finally managed a week on the island last August,based in Bembridge. I was pleased to see some good sized mullet in the millponds and by the sluice gates,another angler had had one the day before of about 2 1/2lbs. Fished St.Helens beach twice for flatties/bass using carp rods which worked a treat w...

can anyone tell me anything about these,they are a 484 but with a carbon tip it would seem.
thanks for any info as this is a new one to me.
thanks,Mick

very nice rod m8

Yep a beachcaster from the 60's, one of my first rods. Weighs a ton compared to rods of today. Managed to get my hands on one after 2 that were stolen some years ago from my garage. It has been slightly modded by having Fugie rings fitted which in itself is a good thing. It is a 2 piece rod with a ...

I'm with you mate,wife uses Facebook but I stay away from those sites.

Sad news indeed and a huge loss to the forums. Only met you the once Mick but your enthusiasm for the sport was plain to see. You were very welcoming when I joined the forum and full of good advice,going to miss your banter. You kept going right to the end,you were a true inspiration mate. RIP my fr...

Have to agree with RW there. Recently wanted some spares for my Daiwa reels, phoned them up and they posted them free! Admittedly it was only only line roller bits but I fully expected to have to pay at least a fiver for three sets. Have also had good after sales from Daiwa Eccles,along with Mitche...

Hi Keith,all I can tell you is that they are made by Mustad,so they should be on their website.
Cheers,Mick

Has anybody out there tried these hooks which came out not long ago? For those not familiar with them,they are attached to the snood length without using a knot,perhaps one advantage could be changing a blunt hook quickly without losing the original snood length? The review said they were strong and...

wonder what they would hike the tax up on if all us smokers quit? the non-smokers would have a real bitch then.......... >:) >:) >:)

Take your point mate,its just that we had already given them the final reading!

Hi there Anton,welcome to the forums and hope your boat trip goes well and you get some fish.
Tight lines,Mick
