Izzo Mini Mouth ChipNet

Advantages: small, simple and reliable
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...There are many different types of electronic bite alarms on the market. Some are good, some aren't. Some have many functions, some don't. There appears to be a trend to have alarms where you can crank the sensitivity right up to detect line bites, waves and wind movements. Infact, everything but an actual run. What is the point in knowing when fry fish bang in to the line? What is the point in knowing when a fish is 'playing' around with the hook bait and mouthing it? All I am interested in knowing is when the fish picks up the bait and starts to move off with it. There is nothing more annoying than sitting in your swim, waiting for Moby Dick to bite, when the bloke opposites alarms are going off almost constantly - registering wind, waves, ground vibrations rocking the rods etc. I think some carp anglers like the attention.

...Has some of you may have noticed, I have wrote several reviews on various different Maglite's that I own. But the Mini Maglite LED AA was the newest of the additions to my Maglite's.

...I purchased the Hope mini brakes to replace the Giants own brand type that were on my XTC3 bike, these brakes were ok but the back brake had caused me no end of problems, so I looked on the net and after reading several reviews I decided to purchase the Hope Mini. I purchased the Hope mini's from my local bike shop for £110 a wheel and the kind gent fitted me them for that price as well. Like any type of brakes they will not be working at there full efficiency until you have done several miles, I noticed after I had got the bike out of the shop, after getting the brakes done they did not feel really powerful, but after 2 miles I could feel them becoming more powerful, and now they are excellent. The stopping power of these brakes is amazing, they give you an excellent feedback and are very quiet I have noticed no brake noise apart from... Read review
