Back Reeling – Alternative to Using the Drag

Back Reeling in Ultralight Fishing


I have never heard of back reeling until I came across this video on myoutdoortv.com. It’s an interesting concept, where instead of relying on your drag, you reel backwards to give the fish line, when it makes a strong run.


I can’t believe I never though of this myself. I’ll have to try this next time I hook a large fish, to see if it has all the benefits mentioned in the video.

Here is another video from YouTube that demonstrates the Technique:

To update the summer 2011

DateSaturday, September 3, 2011

I know positions were far between this summer, but with one thing and the other we found only really the time to publish updates of our Facebook page. If you want to stay informed of what was going on in the Tackle Monster and that you are on Facebook we join atwww.facebook.com/monstertackle

We have enjoyed a good summer trade and fishing and get great feedback from customers that makes all deserve. The fishing boat last month has been good to me and Dan had a few sessions of the high coast on Herm towards the end of August. I do not have many fish of land on the mark of 5 lbs since the beginning of the summer, I lost a good fish yesterday on anima Skimmer salt (one of my lures of the season), but there is still time. In reality, we are entered in the best low fishing months of the year if we all hope the practice will be worth it! I've included some of our photos of the summer for the moment, send us your best shots and we'll get them on the site for you...

Until next time, Tom

Jersey Bass Festival 2011

We just had a great weekend fishing the Bass Festival during which my fishing buddies got stuck into me for not updating the blog regularly enough. I told them about Facebook (www.facebook.com/monstertackle ), mumbled something about having a wife and two young kids but they were having none of it! So here's a quick post to keep them off my back...


Over the years we've come to love the Jersey Bass Festival weekend, organised by Steve Mullins and the Sinkers Sea Fishing Club it is well supported by sponsors and always draws a big crowd (over 200). The format is simple start fishing at 6pm on Friday night, finish by 7pm on Sunday and you can fishing almost anywhere you like on the Island so long as you can reach it by foot.


We managed just 1 bass this year between 4 of us and it placed joint 3rd in the catch and release section - just 1 fish for 4 rods isn't very good but we had alot of fun along the way. The catch and release section was won by Dave Watson who nailed an 8lb fish on a soft plastic in fast running water in the middle of the night - well done mate! The lure section was won by Giles Allcock with a fish of 5lb 15oz 12dr he also won the visitors section so a great weekend for him. Some photos and the full results from a cracking weekend below.
