For some reason, when I posted the interview I conducted with Derek 'Paffoh' Steele last week, I completely neglected to mention the interview he conducted with me, which he has posted at his website, Kayak Fishing Adventures. Derek asked some great questions in this interview and I had to stop myself writing novels as individual answers, but he certainly managed to get some information out of me that I don't usually mention publicly. if you're interested in hearing what I had to say, click on over to KFA for the full shebang. Here's a snippet:

In the situations you find yourself and the waters you frequent we can safely assume you’re pretty tough on your gear. Is there however a massive turnover of products from your personal arsenal we don’t know about?

A: Surprisingly, I don't turn over as much gear as one might think. My Nitro rods, for example, have been with me for years. And although I am tough on my gear, I'm also incredibly vigilant in maintaining it, so that helps me get away with being so rough with it. I've never had a single failure on my mirage drive believe it or not and I've only had 2 of them - one of which has done over 10,000km on the water. A lot of the gear I have upgraded or handed down I have done so not because it fell apart, but because I found something better. I'm a serious gear freak and am always looking for the very best product I can find, from a simple sharpening stone right through to fishing rods, reels and kayaks. I have, however, been through a hell of a lot of lures!
