Hi mate, a couple of months ago we published the 5 question with Maurice Flanx which was quite popular on our blog. How's Flanx doing today and how does the brand stand in these strange Covid times? Hi Mate! Yes, it's all kinda strange... Like most of us in the angling industry, we had a very good 1,5 years! We were somehow the winners of Covid! But I very highly advice the industry to be cautious, because we will also suffer... just later! You start seeing it now, the whole supply chains are interrupted... We have now lead times of 6, 8 or...

Since the start of Covid we've been extremely busy thanks to your massive support all over Europe and beyond. Personally I only took one week off this year for some public adventure in Paris but haven't had any time off with the family yet.  That's why we will not ship anything out for the rest of the month. Under current travel restrictions we might as well stay home but still we won't be working in the next 14 day period, spend some time with the 4 year old at home, hope you understand.  Anyone who orders in the second part of August...

No, we don't have any commercial ties with the fairly new Dutch bait company Biemans Baits. So why plug it on here?

Say what!? If somebody had told me a few...

As many of you will know by watching vids with Alan Blair etc. we have been running the Monkey Climber syndicate successfully since 2013 now. Thanks to our friends at Hengelsport De Poorter in Ghent we now have the chance of opening up another MC Syndicate next year. It's basically an old river arm set in the East Flanders province of Belgium, home to some old pearlers up to 36lbs currently and a mix of young Kingfish stunners which are growing well. The place is a paradise to predator anglers too with a good stock of pike and perch mainly....

Whilst we are working hard on the upcoming MC#19 we still receive feedback from our readers regarding MC#18. We just came up with the idea to collect all feedback per issue in a blogpost from now on, either with the reader's name or anonymously. Please send yours to info@monkeyclimber.be As the magazine is still Dutch/Flemish written only, most feedback on here is non English, we're sorry: "Hey Gio ik wou je even bedanken. Ik heb het weer voor elkaar gekregen om de nieuwe MC te laten liggen tot mijn vakantie. Heb deze MC#18 van a tot z uitgelezen in 2 avonden. Wat...
