It’s never easy selecting a winner because you know that for every one you choose there will be hundreds who miss out!

But that’s not strictly true, for there may be hundreds who will benefit from those reviews. Reviews from you, the anglers who matter, the members of this website, who will have helped another angler to make a wise choice when deciding which gear or bait to spend his hard-earned on.

So, even if you don’t think you stand a chance of winning the prize, keep those reviews coming in and help your fellow members. ‘Rate it or slate it’ are the watch words, and we don’t care if you rate or slate providing what you say is exactly how you feel about the product you’re writing about.

So who won the Okuma Dyna Drag Pro Reel for September?

It was Tim Ridge, with a review of the Drennan Super Specialist Duo rod

User Review of the Drennan Super Specialist Duo.

Why was Tim’s review selected?

It’s well written, well thought out, comprehensive and definitely a good guide for anyone thinking of buying this rod.

The reviews least likely to win a prize are those one-liners with comments like, ‘the drag is crap’, or, ‘the reel seat is the best I’ve ever used’. What we want to read is why you think it’s crap, and why it’s the best you’ve ever seen.

So keep those User Reviews coming in. And look out for another great prize for the best review.
