 Hi. I hope that someone on here may be able to help me. Any advice very greatfully received. My husband is 40 soon so I'm looking for a special present. As a teenager he did a lot of fishing but hasn't for years. Just recently he went with our neighbour and his teenage son and seemed to love it. I was wondering how my maximum £100ish is best spent on fishing gear. Argos are doing a make called Zebco (complete set with a box seat etc for £48.99). Do you think this will be ok? I don't want anything fancy because he may not even be that interested. If he enjoys it obviously he can upgrade the gear then.

 go for it karen!!!!

 check out web sites as well for deals!!

I agre with both the above, it would be worth asking at a local tackle shop if they sell gift vouchers which would get round the problem.

Alternatively, Bennets of Sheffield (as above) definately do them and are a very good company.

Hi if you go to www.anglersnet.co.uk on the right hand sirde click on Tackle Shop and look at Godfather feeder rod and Okuma reel. This will do him for general course fishing, both are good makes and it has an option on tips.

At that price you will have enough to go to your local tackle shop and get him a landing net, unhooking mat and some hooks, floats & line etc. They will advise you.

Don't forget he will need an Environment Agency Licence befoer he can go. This you can get at the post office or on line.

Hope this helps
