Quest Baits Press Release:

Chilli Chocolate - The Smooth Bait With A Kick!

Every once in a while you stumble across something in life which cannot be ignored! This is the case with Quest Baits brand new Chilli Chocolate range.

Shaun Harrison was working along a totally different theme when he uncovered some particularly interesting ingredients. They weren’t particularly suitable for the bait he was working on but curiosity got the better of him and he incorporated the ingredients into a different bait altogether.

Nash Tackle Cobra Quick Stick's

When Nash Tackle acquired the Cobra brand, the first thing that Kevin Nash done was to sit down and try to iron out all the flaws in the existing throwing stick range. After indepth thought and some genial thought, the new Cobra Quick Stick's were born.

UKMA recieved some of the range to put through their paces and our thoughts can be found by clicking HERE.

Korda Developments Rig Safe

It has been a couple of years since Korda launched their take on rig storage and anglers flocked to buy the original Rig Safe.

Nash Tackle S7 Max 1 Bivvy

UKMA recently obtained a Nash S7 Max 1 Bivvy System after speaking to anglers who actually owned and had used them.

We decided to review it in our own inimitable way to inform our vistors of the truth about it, rather than go by misinformed forum posts from people who have not actually used one.

DT Baits New Products for 2010

DT Bait sent UKMA some of their new products for 2010 just before Christmas last year. Due to adverse weather conditions, we have not been able to put them fully through their paces until very recently. With anglers such as Nigel Sharpe onboard as consultants, DT Baits have been low key with regards to publicity and massive advertising, but anglers in the know realise that DT Baits are at the forefront of the bait industry.

Angling International Cassien Trips

Lac De St Cassien is without doubt the most famous carp lake in France and if you want to follow in the footsteps of many of the worlds greatest anglers and tread the banks of this carp fishing mecca, why not let Angling International take you there this summer. Our seven day trips run from the middle of June to the beginning of August and coincide with the day only fishing season on Cassien (trips of up to four anglers can be organised outside this period if required). This is an excellent time to be on the banks of Cassien and with fish up to 75lb caught on our trips in previous years, you can be assured that our experienced guides will do all they possibly can to get you on the fish.

Getting there couldn't be easier, with the long drive normally associated with a trip to Cassien totally unnecessary. Just pick up a cheap flight to Nice and we'll do the rest. All you need to bring are your own reels and buzzers (and rods if you like) as most of the gear you'll need is already out there. Our base for the week will be a local camp site and this has all the mod con's you'll need, like a swimming pool and all important bar.
