Best Specialist Products of 2010

 

This section is designed to cover the specialist course angler’s requirements. With many terminal tackle and bait options also being used by the carp angler this limits the unique options for stardom in this category. However, three totally different products have made it through from the bait, reel and terminal tackle inventory of the UKMA Specialist Section.

From the world of specialist baits one of the stand out selections that has caught the eye of the UKMA team is the versatile Sonu Baits Barbel and Carp range of products. This original twist has accounted for many big fish for our team on both river and still water systems with regular reliability. This comprehensive range consists of Hook Baits, Paste, Booster Liquids and Elliptical feed pellets and it is well worth a try.

Next up are the heavy duty cage feeders from www.cagefeeders.com. These feeders are designed with the big river angler in mind, if you need to get bait down in a hard flow and hold bottom, there is nothing better out there. Being hand made in the United Kingdom for use on British rivers makes these monster feeders an essential part of the Chub and Barbel angler’s heavy artillery.

The pick of the crop from the UKMA Specialist section is without question the superb Kingpin Regency 378 Centrepin Reel. This glorious piece of engineering gives the angler a direct contact with his quarry that no other type of reel can offer when you are playing the fish. This perfectly balanced reel is a timeless reminder about what fishing is all about, the most fun I’ve had from a reel in years.

 

Foot Note

All the products listed above have been tried and tested by the UKMA team and have been selected from the products in each category that we have reviewed. You may have other opinions but unless UKMA have reviewed a particular piece of tackle it will not feature in our Best of products 2010 listings.
