Living in Totnes, a stone's throw from Torbay, I have the advantage of being able to fish a variety of habitats with hugely contrasting conditions. In other words, for a person who loves light tackle I can play to my heart's content! However two of my personal favourites - bass and plaice fishing over sandbanks - respond well to light baitcasters with ergonomic trigger grips and light multipliers. You may therefore imagine my delight when I came across the Rovex 'John Wilson' Six Shooter travel rod, packing down to just 20" long, and the Rovex Oberon baitcasting multiplier - a perfect piece of kit for the travelling angler and an outfit that I wish I had been able to take with me on a recent vacation in Looe. It would have been perfect for the bass!
Nor was the outfit a bad price with the travel rod costing just £39.99 and the Oberon baitcaster £49.99. Together they make a lovely outfit - sensitive, lightweight but with the 'oomph' to tackle that specimen fish - although I am going to suggest to Dick that many anglers would not mind paying a bit extra for the rod if it came in a cloth-covered case. I know I wouldn't!

For the angler who likes boat fishing, the six shooter travel rod is just one of a whole stable of boat rods that Masterline Walker are offering. You can choose from lightweight kayak rods to serious wreck or shark fishing gear with Rovex Integra Gold, Magnite Pro and Altus boat rods or the Jarvis Walker Sovereign range. There is something to suit every taste with matching reels - including some lever drag Altus models for general boat fishing - available at very reasonable and affordable prices.
The Magnite Pro rods, built of Masterline Walker's new XRC48 material - are also worth a special mention, being incredibly light for the power that they are capable of delivering! This is due to the Hi-modulus carbon fibre/nanofibre mix but, despite the sophisticated technology, the price tag that accompanies the rods is still eminently affordable!
