It seriously floats my boat when a brand new lure works so well from literally the first cast
Shimano Dialuna S90L 9' 5-25g lure rod review - €289.95 (and I am off to Ireland today)
At 79cms long and in seriously good condition, I feel entirely confident that yesterday afternoon I landed my first 10lb+ bass from the shore
When you’re trying something slightly different, nothing gives you that vital confidence boost like catching
White DoLive Sticks are back in the UK
Penn Slammer III 3500 spinning reel review - under £150 in the UK
Do many of you swim paddletails nice and shallow for bass? And yes, my brain is in churn mode…….

Apia Grandage 96ML 9’6’’ 7-28g lure rod review - £309.99 UK price
It absolutely wrecks my head when you catch a nice bass on a hard lure in a specific colour and you then find out that the colour is no longer available!
It’s such fun having some time to charge around Cornwall and fish it pretty hard
Could this upcoming Tsunami Salt X waterproof spinning reel be a viable alternative to the not easy to get hold of but damn I want one Van Staal VR50?
I can’t believe how excited I am getting these days about what are essentially “straight sticks” that do so little in the water, but to me needlefish are changing our bass fishing for the better

I’m starting to look around for a longer, more powerful lure rod for heavier lures and/or some surf based bass fishing - how about some of the lighter US striped bass rods?
I have finally gone and fallen in (shore fishing) love with the 25g Offshore jig head that goes with the 120mm (no.3) Fiiish Black Minnow
Where on earth would we be without soft plastics? (and a goodbye to our first group)
Are these new to the UK Doomsday Tackle “Laggin’ Dragon” soft plastics a viable alternative to my beloved DoLive Stick?
If you could use only one lure colour for evermore, what would it be? (This post is inspired by a photo I saw of a monster shore caught Cornish bass on Monday that was nudging 88cms long!)
Do many of you here NOT use a fluoro or mono leader on the end of your braid?
I had a quick go with the new waterproof and sealed Van Staal VR50 spinning reel - how much sense does it make for our lure fishing?
