Artificial

Advantages: Easy to set up, all sorts of wierd & wonderful artificial lures to choose from, can last years
Disadvantages: Can be rather expensive, especially if you keep loosing them in the scenery

Fishing with Artificial lures is one of my favourite fishing methods, mainly because it's so easy to get set-up for a session. By Artificial Lures, in this instance I am referring to the good old MEPPS style spinners + also artificial plugs + "spoons"..... not to be confused with Artificial flies used by Salmon & Trout Anglers, which are basically hooks tarted up with various items to resemble an insect of some description. Setting up to fish with ...
...The idea of the artificial lure is to mimick the action of a sick or dying fish, which fools predatory fish into thinking there's an easy meal coming past them....... and you've always got to remember the only way this will work is if you constantly cast out and wind in the lure, otherwise the lure is just a piece of Metal / Plastic or Balsa wood. You wouldn't believe how many people I've had to point this out to over the past 11years or so (I was ... Read review

Advantages: Well-made in general - high retension ability especially. Suit all ages
Disadvantages: Expensive. Not quite as durable as expected

...This high visibility version of the most popular matchball ever comes in a choice of different colours white, yellow etc. It comproses of non woven PU material which is definitely tough enough for use on most natural and artificial surfaces. Having said this though, after a few weeks training with the ball it is starting to wear slightly around the seams. The cost is around £40-50 and for this price, I expected the ball to hold up through months of training. The ball has exceptionnal balance and a lively performance in the air - similar to the Premiership balls of today. It has been professionally tested and rated as OK for use at match and training levels. It seems to be a popular ball for all ages as it is tough enough to be played by infants up to adults. Finally, the tough calendared PVC outer does come fitted with a low... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight boots
Disadvantages: little protection

...The predator precision football boots are worn by top professionals such as David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Steven Gerrard These boots are very light which helps when running with the ball at your feet. the metal spikes provide excellent grip on surfaces from grass to astro turf and even artificial pitches. i beleieve they are one of the best boots ever made. i bought thses boots for £130 which at the time was very expensive. they have now decreased in price and i have changed my boots but would like to have them again. the only disadvantage to these boots is that they are so light that they provoide little protection. therefore, if someone stands or your toe whilst wearing these boots. its going to hurt!!...

Advantages: Lightweight, speed
Disadvantages: Bad protection

...Lightweight boots! Brilliant boots. It will feel horrible if i ever go back to normal boots because of the amount of control I will lose. They are very thin though and make injury more likely, hence 7 out of 10 and not 10. They are expensive at first glance but for what you are getting it isn't too bad. ... It is almost like running barefoot. Do not use on artificial grass, they are worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, R9, Nani, Drogba and many more of the worlds best players. Great for people who are looking for the absoloute best quality there is. If you are looking to run even faster, get these! Buy them and you will no regret it. LIGHTWEIGHT BABYYY as Ronnie Coleman would of said! :)... Read review
