Cypry 12ft Carp Rod
Recently added to the range of rods available on Quickstrike, the Shakespeare Cypry Carp Rod 12ft – 3 Piece.
We limited the site to mainly tackle in the past so moving forward with the supply of rods is very exciting. We hope to bring some great value quality rods for a wide range of fishing styles to the site so keep checking back to see what’s new over the next few days and weeks.

08.25.09 New Floats added to QUICKSTRIKE 0
Avon Floats
We are always adding to the range of tackle and it has to be said the selection of floats needed improving. I have been trying out a number of floats by Kamasan & Ultra and was really impressed by the quality. The Kamasan floats offer a great range in Peacock Wagglers and the Ultra floats have some cracking Avon’s, Chubbers and various coarse fishing floats starting from 89p.
There will be more to come, but for now check out the latest range > Coarse Fishing Floats
There have also been some additions to the range of Pike Floats and Carp Float range such as the Baggin Waggler.
As always please email us if you have any comments or use the comments facility on this blog and the review tab on most products to get your view across.

06.05.09 Best knots for braid 0
Oh well, I have started one here…
Braid is different to nylon in so much as it will pull through on the hook tie if you don’t tie the right knot. So those half blood knots will not stay strong, they will slip with braid.
What to do!!!!
Granny knot… nah, just tuck your half blood knot. after you have put the line through the first twist above the eye of the hook put it back through the loop. You know what I maen but here is a diagram!
Tucked Half Blood Knot
ps. this may also apply to amnesia line
If you have any tips on hook tying with briad, cool rigs and knots… Email me and I will pass it on!
Cheers, fish on…
05.27.09 Stalking Fishing Gear 0
Now if you are like me and every now and again like to travel light, wander around and do a bit of stalking as a relief from carting a barrow load of gear to the waters edge and setting up camp. Well there some bits and pieces that I can recommend (blatant sales pitch coming up). Fishing bags, shoulder strap style big enough for those essentials. Ditty boxes to keep your ready to hand shot and hooks in and maybe a smaller bait box for just a couple of pints of maggots… (blatant sales pitch over) If you are like me with an ever increasing bundle of gear that you cart around, do try and fish light handed once and a while, if anything it brings the joy of fishing back to your heart!
05.16.09 Nice 1 Discovery Shed 0
OK so there are a lot re-runs, but there has always been a low number of fishing programmes about. Discovery Shed have designated Friday nights along with the early daytime /weekend programmes, it’s great. And you can still get fishing on Discovery real time, if you are lucky enough to have sky sports tight lines with Keith Arthurs is always a good watch. So what’s my point in adding this to the blog… Well just got a bit excited about picking up a few Fly fishing tips (Only been fly fishing a few times) and watching a “A Passion for Angling” (Oldie but goodie) I remembered why I love this sport so much. So if you can’t get out fishing why not take 5 and look for some fishing on the box.

04.10.09 Kryston Fishing Tackle 0
Hi, recently uploaded to QS is a whole bunch of Kryston Fishing Tackle including braid and pva bags. I have tried some of the coated multistrand braid hook lengths (Snake Skin & Mantis) which were cool to experiment with, building rigs for pop ups with different lengths of coating removed. The pva stuff is brilliant, top notch – strong and dissapears completly no random gooey stuff!
I am fishing a pond with shy Crusians so I’m going to try the uncoated multi strand from Kryston.
Any how visit the shop and what’s available so far. Kryston Fishing Tackle
Cheers. Steve.
