Lee Jackson’s verdict : Unquestionable heritage and product quality but it does cost.

Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Solar Tackle is one of those companies that I get excited about when new products arrive because it always develops great new ideas.

The durability of Solar’s stainless steel metalware is beyond question and there are many anglers out there still using banksticks from Martin Locke’s original production run from over 30 years ago!

The new P1 stainless range benefits from this heritage and is cosmetically very impressive, from the subtle 1K carbon weave detailing to the new five-spoke diamond knurled collars, which are not just cosmetically pleasing, but a massive improvement on the grip and pressure that can be applied by this simple design change.

Most of Solar’s original features have been retained in the P1 buzz bar range – Pozi-Loc alignment, the unique Taper-Loc feature and the screwless adjustment system – and, like the rest of the range, is universally compatible with existing and previous products in the Supreme Stainless range.

tible with existing and previous products in the Supreme Stainless range. At the time of writing I only had the three-rod adjustable buzz bars and screwless Travel- Lite banksticks to test. However, the P1 range is set to grow over the coming months to include a number of other top-class, UK-made products that will hopefully be available by the time you read this review.
