These are the ratings that we use for our hard judgement of the material we recieve or buy for our reviews. We use a scale from zero (0) to six (6) - zero being the lowest and six being the best.

We rate most products in three categories:
I   Usefulnes and facilities
II  Quality of workmanship
III Price and performance

These three add up to one average which expresses the value of the product. Products like books and videos are only given one score on the same scale:

Stinks - don't touch it!
Products which are absolutely useless and which we cannot recommend. This is not a grade we use very often.

Not good - can be ignored
A product which basically is lousy, but might be found useful by a few people - the rest of us can just ignore it.

Below average - only for die hard fans
Products which are not particularly good, but will have some fans, while the rest of us can pick it up on sale at the end of the season.

Excellent - Highly recommended
Get a fiver and you're on top! This is an excellent product which everybody would be happy to own. It might be on the expensive side, but it's worth the price.

Global class - Brilliant!
This is an outstanding product which will be the envy of your fly fishing and fly tying friends. It's the best that money can buy - and it can cost a lot of money, even though it doesn't have to.
