Just chuck the gear in the car and go . It may not work for everybody , but you will never ever catch fish when you are home sat looking at a computer wondering “if “ you will catch . I am much the same as Paul… I never worry about conditions really and that includes floods, moon phases...

Hmm, I do not know how many of us go sea fishing, but I do, and when Soniks first appeared on the beach scene as cheap rods they were snapped up, and the guys that bought them soon discovered that “snapped up “is what they did, regularly. Their reputation was soon in virtual tatters. I have not...
