Advantages: Easy casting, excellent bite detection, robust,
Disadvantages: Difficult to load the power version during cast for massive casts
...The Daiwa Supercast beach rod is made in the UK.

The daiwa supercast is an excellent rod, i have been using the STS13PM for all my beach fishing. It is capable of casting 6oz and mackeral flapper with ease. The STS13PM is rated at 4-8oz and is ideal for areas with a strong tide.
The bite detection is also very good, on the STS13PM it has a stiffer tip which allows more sensitive bite detection in flood tides. However...

Predator Prowess
Review of Adidas Predator Precision by
Havling
Advantages: Very Sleek, Very Comfortable, Improved Performance
Disadvantages: Price,
...The new Adidas Predator are quite simply brilliant!
Having owned the previous Predator Boots which I thought were outstanding, the new 'model' eclipses all that have went before them!
In short, the Predator Boots increase your performance on the pitch, which is where it matters, and as an added bonus, they also make you look the part!
For those of you who are not familiar with the Predator brand, here's what makes them tick....

Advantages: The best boot for curling a football and one touch control.
Disadvantages: The pads on the flat of the foot wear down if you use them too much.
...The Rapier Traxion was at one time the best adidas football boot going. We all know that Becks has scored a few free kicks with them when he wore them. The day i bought my predators i was so happy you would have thought it was Christmas. Yet still it dented my pocket severly. But at £90 when i bought them, i didnt care. I had a pair of predators. Now you can bid for these gems and get away with paying 15 squids and less for them. If your a good passer of the ball the Predator Rapier t's are outstanding because you can play with your curl of the ball and notice the results straight away. This is because of the positioning of the pads on the front of the boot. They allow more grip on the ball when it is kicked to increase curl and also power, and allow a better control of the ball for the same reason. The durability of the Predator...
