Fishing Tackle Insurance

For anyone interested in insuring their fishing tackle, there is a new product on the market, released only this week.

The product appears to be well thought out, with exclusions and excesses to deter the "less than honest" claimants, but that won't penalise anglers with legitimate claims. As a result, hopefully this product will be in the market longer than previous ones.

Full deails can be found at http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=904&id=46918
