We always enjoy discovering what Savage Gear have been up to and there were quite a few 'finds' at this year's T&G Show. One of the most visually impressive was the new range of Savage Gear Salt Spinning Rods.
These lure rods look fantastic in pearlescent white and while they Read the rest of this entry »
Fishing-Tackle.co.uk introduced the original Fin-Nor Marquesa way back in February 2010. We liked the build and toughness of the smaller reels for UK fishing.
A year and a half later, Fin-Nor have released a 2-speed version, further extending the strengths and capabilities of these palm sized reels. And what's more - they've won an award.

There has been some talk on internet fishing forums & chat rooms that Daiwa will update the existing Saltiga Z range of heavy-duty spinning reels this year. If the rumours are true this might see Daiwa include their latest technologies in one of the best reels on the planet. New innovations like 'Mag Sealed' waterproofing could be included, as featured in this year's release of the new Daiwa Certate in Japan.
Details are sketchy but it is rumoured that a new colour Read the rest of this entry »
