This is an extraordinary book by Hans Van Klinken

The Klinkhamer Special is probably the most popular fishing fly in the world today.
It has caught fish all around the world from Britain to USA, and Scandinavia to Mongolia and certainly Australia. This year marks the fly's 40th anniversary and to celebrate the occasion, its creator Hans van Klinken has at last written his long-awaited first book.
Flyfishers for trout, salmon, grayling and coarse species will for the first time learn from Hans himself the secrets behind his miracle Klinkhamer Special which has caught its fans hundreds and hundreds of fish: the thinking behind the design, the testing, the variations, the reasons for its remarkable success.
Full instructions for tying Hans' most important flies are included in his engaging and revealing account of his life in flytying and fishing.

The World's best fishing gloves

This sounds like a big statement, but not one person who has used these gloves will contradict this. It is hard to believe how good these are - even when wet. Possum Fur and Merino Wool to retain warmth next to the skin. The Possum Fur is a hollow core fibre which doesn't freeze in sub zero temperatures. Polyproplylene to provide wickability to draw the moisture to the exterior of the glove, as well as providing a hard wearing outer surface. Elastane to give the glove stretch and a firm fit to the hand. Combined these materials produce a glove suitable for tougher outdoor environments and activities while retaining dexterity.
22% Possum Fur - 32% Merino Wool - 32% Polypropylene - 14% Elastane

Extraordinary value Primal RAW CCC - $595

The Primal RAW and its saltwater brother the Primal MEGA were the original two series for the Primal brand which launched in 2018. Since its introduction five seasons ago the Raw series has literally taken the world by storm and gained a following not just in New Zealand and Australia but have become one of the biggest selling rods in Europe. The Mega has become a great saltwater rod. 
New at the end of last season Primal updated the RAW and Mega series with a new technology called CCC (Compressed Carbon Chain) technology utilises an exterior carbon wrap on the blank that shrinks at a rapid rate during the curing process to create a denser rod wall. From a fishing perspective this makes for a crisper rod with less vibrations throughout the cast and a much stronger construction especially when it comes to lifting power in saltwater and impact resistance when casting heavy nymphs. The blanks still maintain the Nano resin and Carbon helical of the original models and carbon fibre is supplied by the Japanese company Toray, so in short, no cost has been spared in their construction.

PRIMAL CCC - COMPRESSED CARBON TECHNOLOGY
What is CCC Compressed Carbon Technology?
CCC technology utilises an incredibly low mass oblique exterior carbon wrap that constricts at a high rate during the curing process to compress the rod’s longitudinal fibres to create a denser, stronger blank with higher sensitivity, quicker recovery and ultra-light swing weight.
Primal use only the best rod builders and the end result is you get a far superior rod that will dominate your time on the water.

These rods offer extraordinary value for money. Cast one if you can - or just buy one and be blown away. The price is rising with the next shipment, so if you are in the market for the best budget rod on the market check them out.
