Christmas Present Ideas…..

For those of you thinking about Christmas presents ideas for angling partners and other friends/ relatives but don’t know what to buy here are the annual tips. Take care with major purchases as tackle needs to suit the individual   requirements and styles of angling of the person you are buying for. Ideally you will have sounded them out already from all the nods winks over the last few weeks the exact model and tackle desired. If not seek advice from their closest friends who should already have been suitably briefed about the exact requirements. Last years top tip was a new 16metre carbon pole but Santa seems to have missed a few anglers yet again with this item so it still remains the top tip for loved ones this year. Other possibilities include a new float or feeder rod and reel or other similar major item. Thermal clothing suits, boots, gloves etc can also be particularly useful presents at this time of year.

For general presents there are many low to medium cost accessories available for just a few pounds but it is always best to know the type of angling, and take expert advice from a local tackle dealer. If in doubt its better to offer cash and allow the angler to select the items themselves as  angling is a very technical sport these days.
