We didn't get a clear answer when we spoke to the Pure Fishing representative at the Tackle & Guns Trade Show yesterday, but it would appear that the amazing new Berkley Nanofil will be in the shops before 2011 is out - or ever so slightly more accurate, in 'one or two months'.
We can't wait to try out the thinnest versions of this line. We got to man-handle the line yesterday and have to say Read the rest of this entry »

Climax H2O Super Fine Tip – Best Fly Line EFTTEX 2011
On August - 10 - 2011
If French, Spanish or Czech Nymphing mean anything to you, then this new Climax H2O Super Fine Tip fly line might be right up your beat.
The Super Fine Tip (SFT) line took Best New Fly Line at the recent European Tackle Trade Exhibition, and with good reason. The popularity of 'nymphing' has outgrown the respective tackle. Climax looked at what the technique tries to achieve and have made a purpose built fly line for the job.

On June - 22 - 2011
Power Pro fought off stiff competition to be voted Best Braided Line at the recent European Fishing Tackle Trade Exhibition (EFTTEX) with new Power Pro Super 8 Slick braid.
Super 8 Slick sees Power Pro follow a growing trend in 8 strand braid, gaining popularity in many fresh and saltwater disciplines here in the UK. The use of 8 strands (sometimes known as 'carriers') produces a very round and smooth braid.

It's good to see a Read the rest of this entry »
Video: Fuji’s New Tangle Free Rod Guides (K-Series)
On October - 26 - 2009
Those clever people at Fuji, the rod guide manufacturer have done it again. Nearly five years of research, testing and design have lead to the new K-Series guide set, guides specifically created to remove the risk of tangles around rod guides while using braid fishing lines.
Most of us probably don't think too much about the eyes on our rods but with five years development these K-Series guides have some key design elements: Read the rest of this entry »
