* (19 November 2023) A reminder that THIS LIST of fake tackle shops is continuously updated with new sites that readers send me as well as ones I come across. Been doing my best to guide fishos who've been victimised through attempts to recover funds or at least protect their payment methods from further loss, but it would be much better if no one falls for them to begin with. Please share the list and spread awareness.

* (11 October 2023) Back from a big blue water trip which unfortunately was not very successful. Not the worst, and I still managed to land a few and take cool pictures for the reviews, but certainly luck was not on my side this time and I'm back with three new reels that weren't challenged in a satisfactory way. I'll see if I can instead finish up anything from the backlog before Christmas, otherwise the next review will be in 2024. Either way, keep checking for news and updates.

* (29 September 2023) Don't want to get ahead of myself, but need to say that next year is going to be EPIC.

.

* (30 August 2023) Looking for fishos in Southern Italy or Spain who own a boat and can take me tuna fishing anytime between September 9th & 21st. Completely flexible between these two dates. This is not in return for any monetary compensation, instead I'll pay for the fuel, snacks & drinks on board, and you'll get to play with interesting new & upcoming reels that I'm testing. Also, if there is a high end reel that you've always wished to fish I can source it either from my own collection or a loan and you get to use it for the entire duration. Pretty much any Stella or Saltiga generation, TD-X RIA / HIA, Accurate, Torque 1/2, Makaira, etc. Get in touch and let's talk. [Update September 3rd] Got someone. Thank you!!

.

* (23 August 2023) Site upgrades are done. Enjoy the speed and secure connection on any device. In other news, have to say I was a bit surprised by the reels you picked from the ICAST 2023 article to be reviewed. A couple of your top requests were expected, but some others were certainly not. All added to the queue and in due time they'll be fished then gossiped about right here with the aid of coloured arrows, unending digressions, and a few crude jokes.
