looks like an evolution to me
 

Best price, I’ll like those deals 🤗

No such thing Mike. 

The boats my daughter skippers are sponsored by both Shimano and Daiwa with a very relaxed easy going relationship. Both manufactures reps will hire the the boats and fish with each other for a day of banter and a night of alcohol at the boat shed. This week she had reps from both sides, its something she looks forward to when every they all get together. Its also not a case of matching outfits with manufactures, some Shimano rods have Daiwa reels and some Daiwa rods have Shimano reels on them. They are what's known as tackle testers, which means they get gear without branding or names to test, some of which won't ever make it to market if it fails. 

Hi terry, it’s a sad job they what they are doing. I spoke to one of my fishing buddies last nite I put your way ‘Vaughun’ he’s very happy with your service 👍

Shimano have some very odd ideas.... They want to level the playing field by not selling stuff so as to force people to buy from abroad or buy a different brand? Often US and Aus prices are considerably cheaper than the UK, and no doubt Japan as well?
What are these longer term benefits you speak of? No tackle = No Fishing = No Fish = No Benefit.......
A local charter boat was saying Shimano offered to sponsor him by kitting boat out with all shimano gear, the downside, they wanted to be able to decide more or less hours before hand that they wanted a corporate day/week with no notice and expected the skipper to drop his regulars just like that..... Needless to say, the boat is equipped with ABU/PENN/AKIOS equipped and fully booked well in advance

One for our Welsh members. I stumbled across this on YT and thought I'd share it here. @Odyssey I seem to remember you saying you were light on wreck marks - Lats and Longs included on this vid. Hope it's of interest.
 

With the locks opened at 00.01 Sunday morning and nothing but wind since, today was the first real chance at a trip out after a long couple of months being locked up (or down or whatever it was called)
Arrived at the boat around 6.30am and opened the door to what felt like a boiler room, a heater that works of your phone is a godsend 
Went through the 7am lock with just 2 other boats for company and after a chat with one, decided to follow him across to a mark between Clevedon and Weston that would be fairly sheltered from the 12 odd meter tide
Had the pick dug in by about 7.45 and my (already set up) rods out a little bit later, 1 off the back downtide and 2 off the port side uptiding, squid on the downtider and a combo of huge fresh  black lug and dirty squid on the uptiders
You know sometimes how you think you see your rod twitch out the corner of your eye when you're looking elsewhere, I did twice while looking at my downtider
I then gave one of the uptiders a steely glare until it started bouncing and I was sure it wasn't my imagination, a very plump Codling of just under 4lb was over the gunnels and I was over the moon, mission completed
This should be a photo of a fat, near 4lb Codling, but my flckr thing wont upload and I spect you've all seen one anyway
2 small rays were the next victims (1 for myself and 1 for Mark) which were unhooked and both swam away strongly, then I had that feeling of dejavu with regards to my looking elsewhere etc
Codling number 2 was soon on the deck, albeit a bit smaller and slimmer at 2.5 lb, but was still going to be dinner for my old Granny some time this week (96 and still battling on)
Codling number 3 was a bit of a non starter at around 10 inches and went straight back
Codling number 4 went to Mark and was maybe 10mm bigger than my last one at 10 inch 10mm
High water came and went and brought a bit of early wind, took a while for the anchor to set after we turned, but dig in it did and the rods were back out
The relatively serene flood had turned into a very strong ebb and brought a load of weed back down with it, so after a fruitless few hours we decided on a move
Dodging the barely submerged sandbanks all around us, we made our way out of the Langford grounds and back across to our side of the river where we anchored up on the coral, which is just down from Penarth pier and pretty much dead inline with the wrach channel
Good strong run of tide here as well but not so much weed to contend with and after the rip died down a bit, I actually saw my rod tip bounce with both eyes
My 4th and last Codling of the day landed on the deck and tipped the scales at 3lb 9oz, again not a monster but very welcome
The three takers were full of crab that were very recently eaten by the looks of them, some hard backs and some soft, with the first one caught absolutely stuffed full
Tally for the day was 2 thornies (4/5lb), 5 Codling to a shade under 4lb and no Dogs or Conger 😁
The big black lug seemed to outfish Rag today, with my other crew Mike blanking on just fish baits
Roll on Saturdays smaller tide for a trip up towards Clevedon

I think most of these so called refugees are the first wave of things to come ‘boats full of fit and well young men’ hardly refugees? These are the people who are meant to be fighting for their countries not running away! 
we could pay less tax???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ain't that the truth!!

Makes me laugh how they block her but let in hoards in dinghys crossing the channel on every calm day????

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. 

Fair price for a tagged rod 👍
Question is... do I really need another 12/20 🤔🤔

No I’m in Cornwall buddy. Mevagissey
