Nash Tackle kindly offered us some prices to auction in aid of our syndicate, which has been in multiple Nash and Urban Banx films. It's also a place the likes of Alan Blair, Oli Davies & co hold dear so they just wanted to help out. This is a first of a handful of Nash prices coming up. In addition to this great physical price the winner also gets a 72hr guest session once the syndicate is settled again. *** As you may know, at the Monkey Climber syndicate, we had a heavy fish loss last year due to a...

The winning price was a personal tour at the CC Moore factory and a session with Ian Moore at the unique Milton Abbas syndicate. News just reached us that the winner had a great time.

After the success of previous firm hookbaits on this site, we did one for the Kempisch Kanaal meeting 2025 as well. The topic being Cassien, Forgotten Flavours x Geert Ooms x Monkey Climber agreed to make something as close as possible to Hutchy's original MC Reds from the Dream Team days at Cassien. MC Red standing for Monster Crab and that's what we used for this one in its purest form. Available in Dark/Red only, dumbell version 16 x 20mm. Standard cured already but extra cured version possible too. Please not these are show leftovers and limited edition only. These...
