Keith Arthur has he lost the plot ?

Let me get one thing straight, I have a huge respect and admiration for Keith Arthur. If I lived my life again, I doubt that I could ever achieve what this man has done in the world of fishing. He is a true star, and highly accomplished. Today (Tuesday the 22nd. of October 2013) Keith is saying keep away from the poor quality junk, that goes under the name of fishing tackle, in the Angling Times. The problem with this story is, the Angling Times is awash with adverts for cheap junk fishing tackle. He concluded the article with "I still use rods and reels more than twenty years old, and that's value" So do I Keith, and they were not made in some sweat shop on the other side of the world. Good gear never come cheap.
