I've fished Walthamstow at night and I've never heard gunshots. It's urban there but it's not the Wild West - I've fished there for years and never felt unsafe and I'm a bit of a scaredy.

I wouldn't trust them for bigger fish or anything that really pulls back, I think the wire is too fine. I've found them excellent for smaller bream, the best hook I've used but I had one straighten on me when I was playing a double figure fish.
