This supple leather fingerstall is essential when casting at range or spodding out bait, protecting your casting finger on high-impact scenarios With the majority of braids being low in diameter, unprotected fingers more susceptible to being cut.
The Gardner fingerstall is minimal and lightweight. A Velcro fastening strap ensures it stays on your wrist and in position cast after cast.
You might have seen this handy little product being bandied around over social media lately but for those of you who haven’t, what exactly is it?
To be used in conjunction with the seperate 17-litre, olive, square container, the inner bucket complete with drainage holes has its own handle. So imagine you want to soak your particles, wash out your boilies, or perhaps you have arrived at the lake with your spod mix full of all the liquid goodness you added along the way. When it comes to spodding this can very easily become messy and water adds a huge weight to whatever baiting device you are casting, of course. Well now you can simply lift the inner bucket to begin the draining process and by turning the bucket it will safely sit on the edge of the large outer container, which will catch all that important liquid, leaving you a dryer and easy bait to handle – less mess, less fuss.
I have never been one to tinker with the mechanics of the kit I use, not beyond a little tightening up or lubrication here and there, but switching to these washers in the spools of my Shimano reels was an absolute revelation (it takes seconds to do, by the way).
Having watched Tony from Future Fishing (it’s the sole distributors for these washers) demonstrate them on the shop’s video page I was intrigued as to just how much difference they would actually make. It’s not difficult to make things look good on a video, so only a try for myself would convince me. However, any suspicions were soon allayed as the simple switching of the washers in the top of the spool of my Ultegra 14000XTDs saw the drag absolutely transformed.
With so many of us taking phones, tablets and cameras on sessions a powerbank is almost an essential piece of kit, and the Waterhog power pack ticks all the boxes. With its huge capacity it can charge a smartphone 16 to 18 times and most tablets and laptops three to six. It also has a bright LED light along with a 15-amp 12V socket.
