At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Daiwa tripod

#1 Post by Preston »

Just bought myself a shiny new tripod :) I seen a couple today and the two that stood out were the shakespeare salt and the daiwa . Went for the daiwa as the shakespear was 86 euro and the daiwa was 49 . I thought i got a bargain till I looked up the reviews on here lol :( I'm off to give it an outing now , Will update later !

just back from a good session and the tripod I'm glad to say was worth every penny. There was a strong onshore wind blowing and it didn't budge. It's a good solid piece of kit and very quick to erect and comes with its own bag .
