Mammut Extrem 45

Advantages: very strong yet light with good feel
Disadvantages: Can be a handful in tight swims

...I always considered 3lb TC carp rods to be too heavy duty for 'normal' carp fishing situations. Sure they could bang out a large method feeder 90 odd yards but surely the feeling would be lost when playing the fish? I originally stumbled across a pair of the Fox Extreme rods whilst looking for a pair of rods for an up and coming trip to France. I went to a local dealer to ask for something heavy duty that wasn't a fortune. The intention was to use these rods purely for my trips abroad and nothing else. I was showed the Extremes and was instantly amazed at how slim and light they were. They also felt very well balanced. In addition they were a nice matt grey finish and looked quite stylish - I thought how good they would look on my pod.

Advantages: Very well protected with these on
Disadvantages: still not perfect

I have had some shin pads where it is always the same tightness, so that was a step up when I bought these. They are really comfortable as I said but the longer you wear them the more likely you will want them off but that is like every shin pad. I would defiantly recommend these to any football players, there are 3 specials things shin pads need… Comfort-For shin pad they are extremely comfortable. Guard-Your legs will be fully protected with this hard defence system Weight- These feel weightless on your feet while you are playing. Also a little less important the looks. These are the best looking shin pads I have ever seen, and if you want... Read review
