Pirate Lures
Durable, high-performing soft plastics that have earned a regular place in my boxes. I use them across estuaries and rough ground, with standout performers like the Teaser, Wrasser, Seaducers and Needle Treats and finesse options for when the bass are reluctant to bite.

Samson Fishing
Built to cast a mile and hold in rough seas — perfect when I need distance or to punch through the wind. The Compact Shad and long-distance surface/sub-surface models are regular go-tos for surf and rock marks.

Henry’s Tackle Shop
A reliable Irish retailer specialising in bass angling with solid stock and fast shipping. I source a lot of my terminal tackle, rods and reels here — the team know their stuff and are great to deal with.
