Bankside fishing on the river

Shop news, product updates, and my practical fishing guides—all in one place.

Whether you are looking for a venue to fish, product insights, or simple help and advice, you're in the right place. Welcome to the Soar Tackle knowledge hub.

Fishing Knowledge Base

My practical guides to wetting a line in the world of coarse fishing.

These guides have been taken straight from my fishing memory bank and scribbles in my notebook, drawing on years of conversations with and fishing against some of the best anglers in the world. Add in decades of pleasure fishing and chatting on the shop floor, and it’s all here.

So whether you're getting ready for your next session or doing a bit of armchair fishing, I hope you'll find something useful within my handbook to help you catch a few more fish.

In time, I hope to turn these notes into a proper printed fishing book. But for now, you can read sections of it right here—follow a subject from the beginning, or just dip straight into the guide you need.
