With dropshotting as popular as ever, I was intrigued to see what this very reasonably priced rod from Fladen could bring to the table.

You will have likely seen a ‘Pen Rod’ in your time perusing the internet for fishing tackle.

They had bought it as a demonstration model, to only find out a couple of weeks later that the distributor had decided not to import them [...]

Looking for a good lure rod under a £100? Lure fishing is one of the fastest growing disciplines within angling, especially with sea anglers, but knowing what rod to choose can be very confusing. I often have anglers turn up to come guiding with me, with an 11ft spinning rod, or a Carp rod, because [...]
