I was asked by George Kelly from Millard Bros to test out new products by Timber Fox. These were a Rod Holder, a Cooler bag and Trace Wallets. I have used these products on all my fishing trips over the past months.

The Rod Holder can carry up to 12 rods comfortably with separate pouches for other stuff such as bank-sticks, landing net handles, etc. It has a well-padded shoulder strap which makes for comfortable transport of rods to bank.

There were 2 trace wallets - large and small. They are of a high quality construction with replacable plastic sleeves. The cases are waterproof and make for very convenient handling of traces and rigs. The larger version would be more suitable for boat fishing as it is too bulky for mobile shore fishing.

The cooler bag is another quality product. It will keep those beers cool! Not really intended for anyone wandering the shore but almost invaluable for boat and stationary anglers. I found it was large enough to hold all the grub/drinks required for me and 3 boys for a full days fishing. (Can also be used for the family picnic!)

Once again, I have to say that these are excellent products. The rod holder, being able to carry so many rods, is very useful for club outings (and family ones too). Also for the angler who wants to carry several rods to a venue.

The trace wallets are to a very high standard and are invaluable to the predator angler. Each can hold more than any angler would require for a day's outing.

For those long hot Summer days, the cooler bag is the trick.

l would recommend each of the above products.
