UK Fishing Tackle | News & Reviews
What’s this? A UK rod manufacturer making modern lure rods to take on the world? It’ll never happen I hear you cry.
Well you’re wrong, and what’s more, the excellent new Century HPR Lure Rods will be released here in July – that’s almost minutes away!
So what are we talking about here:

This is a nice product. I picked up the Daiwa SP-MH reel case when I visited The Art of Fishing in St Merryn, Cornwall. It’s imported from Japan (no English on the packaging) and the quality shows. It’s a sad fact that Daiwa’s Japanese range of tackle is better than that available on our home shores but it makes this kind of stuff more alluring I suppose.
So what to say about a reel bag… Well, as I already remarked the quality is about as good as it gets in neoprene reel covers – the neoprene is a luxurious 5mm thick and Continue reading “Daiwa SP-MH Neoprene Reel Cover”
I admit, I’ve been consumed by a new area of our sport. It’s taken all my strength not to let it and all the related new tackle swamp Fishing-Tackle.co.uk, but I can’t contain it any longer.
‘LRF’ or Light Rock Fish originates from Japan where the local anglers use Ultra-Lightweight outfits to target smaller species of fish like Aji (Scad) and Merabu, in a highly pressured fishery. While LRF is a saltwater discipline, it shares a lot of tackle and technique with ultra light freshwater spinning. Anyhow, this isn’t

Gone are the days of back breaking bait digging. If you’re lucky enough to live in an area of decent substrate then now is the time to jump on the bait digging bandwagon, especially during the recession when 10 lugworm in a tackle shop can cost you as much as £4.00.
The new Kimera Pro bait pump has just been launched after the success of the Kimera Std which has been around for almost 18 months. The Kimera Pro is a 22mm bore lug pump that is designed, created and tested by professional bait diggers and is 100% stainless steel with a removable bush and neoprene washer. Every pump is hand crafted and built to your exact length making it one of the best pump systems available.
Looking at these lug pumps you can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into creating something that will inevitably ensure a fresh supply of bait for your fishing and in the long turn save you a vast amount of Continue reading “Kimera Pro Bait Pump Review”
As far as light tackle fishing news goes, this is right up there… Daiwa have released the new Saltiga spinning reels in smaller sizes, including a baby 3500. Happy days!
When Daiwa released the new Saltiga range of spinning reels back in the tail end of 2010, questions were rightly asked over what this meant for the excellent Daiwa Saltiga Game range. Well our questions (and prayers) have been answered in the form of the new 3500 & 4000 sized reels launched recently in Japan. Unlike the Saltiga Game range, the new reels have kept the aesthetic appearance of their big brothers. They don’t appear to be disadvantaged in any way either – just pint sized versions of the bigger reels. New features such as the lightweight Zaion Continue reading “New Daiwa Saltiga 3500 & 4000 Released”
