14 May, 2008 0 comments

These amazing hooks made it at last!!

The 2210 is a special Curved Shank pattern that is available from #14 to #30, yes that is #30.  As far as I know, we are now offering the finest curved shank hook in the business.

Not to be outdone, the Straight-eyed Streamer 2500V-SE is a must for those big streamers that have lots of swimming action.  If you are having difficulty finding these hooks, do let us know so that we can put you in touch with our stockists.

We will be getting our stock of these fantastic powerhouse rods next week.  For those of you interested to read up about them the best we can do, while we get the site ready with product sheets, is put the forthcoming ads (plenty of data in them) in the gallery so, please check them out.

All XL Rods are build using our unique mixed modulus combination so are light in the hand with the power to throw big jerkbait and work it back across the lake (and are kind to your back!!). Last weekend at the Sportfish weekend in Reading a lot of you tried them out and gave us the thumbs up … brilliant was the usual comment and that smile was priceless. The range includes a Casting / Spinning / Jerk and Fly rods so there is something for everyone.  Coming soon to Fly Fishing Tackle / Glasgow Angling / Walkers of Trowell and a few other famous names we hope.  Tight Lines!

Thanks to those of you that we met in Scotland, new faces and old.  So, what have the show, magazine and the rod got in common - well its about the rod.  The Marryat Tactical 9ft #5 made a great debut in T&S May issue’s recent review.  Great write up because it really is a great rod!  progressive action but smooth power reserves to load a lot of line and as always Tactical rods are made to fish and are not just the casting machines that some of our competitors produce.

We have new retailers with product so do check them out (see the stockists list)
