UKMA Best Specialist Tackle of 2010

UKMA have been priviledged to have a good look at a lot of tackle and bait over the past year, and as we upload the last update for the year, it is only fitting that we list what we feel are the best products we have looked at over the past 12 months.

The Lead Shed Lead Range

Anglers are always looking to tighten their belts, especially during a recession that is hitting everyone hard. With leads hitting prices that mean anglers are reluctant to lose leads on the take and potentially cause fish harm if they break off during the fight, UKMA are always pleased to take a look at products that offer superb value for money, and save the angler money.

The Lead Shed range of leads are just what we have been waiting for.

Greys Prodigy Utility Tools

All anglers require utility tools for baiting and unhooking purposes, and Greys have looked long and hard to what was already available, and come up with what they feel are required by today's anglers.

Lee Taylor took a good look at the Utility Tools and to find out what he made of them, please click HERE.

Kent Particles Pre-Drilled Halibut Pellets

Although halibut pellets may not be as effective in the winter as they are in the summer as loose feed, they are still a superb bait that a lot of anglers neglect this time of year as a hookbait.

Kent Particles have stepped up to the mark with a resealable tub containing mixed sizes of pre-drilled halibut pellets which should find a place in all anglers bait bags.
