That's a bold statement when you consider the success of eBay but it's exactly what the company behind TackleFanactics.co.uk have set their sights on. We came across Tackle Fanatics at The Big One tackle show in Farnborough and I must say, from a presentation perspective, Craig and Matthew (the gentlemen behind the new venture) they have it spot on, with a fresh and vibrant looking brand.

The Prestige Carp Porter Mk5 Barrow
On February - 27 - 2010

2010 is already proving to be a great year for exciting new fishing tackle. The latest in a growing list of hot tackle items to be launched this year is news that Daiwa have created a brand new Certate - one of the best spinning reels in the world.
Best news of all is that Daiwa haven't just rehashed the existing design but created something brand new with some amazing new features. First up, something called 'Mag Sealed'. This new feature is straight out of sci-fi. Based on NASA technology, Daiwa have capitalised on a new material - magnetic fluid.
