I buy most of the mainstream game and coarse fishing mags and something I've come to notice is that the game mags (T&S, Fly Fishing and Fly Tying) are quite willing to make unfavourable comments about a piece of kit. On the other hand the coarse magazines (including my favourite - Coarse Fisherman) will never say a word against any of the kit. Presumably both types face the same pressure from advertisers etc. but only one type seems willing to take a robust approach.
