Joe Carass takes a look at the latest addition to the Maver Competition range – a pole that is set to turn heads in 2012!For all the poles that I get my hands on I still have a soft spot for a Maver! My first ‘proper’ pole was a Maver and since then I have owned several others. The company has produced some of the finest poles available and, together with its manufacturer, Reglass Spa, has developed new technologies that have taken poles to a new level in the last 10 years. Maver’s top-end poles have always been a touch special, starting with the 801 that, way back in the 1990s, had a colossal £8,000 price tag, right up to the present-day Elite 88 that is arguably the stiffest pole around. But these poles have high price tags and it is the mid-range offerings that most people are interested in spending their hard-earned cash on.
Available in three lengths, these extra-wide keepnets are perfect for venues where large weights of carp are needed. Super-strong with reinforced rings to prevent damage. RRP: From £42. .
Victoria Products League - Round Six competition results
Exeter Canal, Lime Kilns | 15/04/2012Number of pegs/anglers: 25Report: Victoria Products League Round SixDespite the poor fishing on the previous canal match twenty five anglers still turned out for the sixth round of the Victoria Products League at the Lime Kilns. With another clear bright sky and a bitterly cold wind forecast prospects were not looking good and once again the anglers were not surprised with ten not managing to record a result and many not having a bite all day. Winner on the day was Duncan Hill on peg eleven who got off to a great start landing his first tench in the first twenty minutes and netting another before the end of the 1st hour. He had a long wait before catching his third half way through the competition to end up with 5k150g.
Match Fishing’s Joe Carass tells of a few recent successes thanks to some all-important confidence. As has been said countless times before, confidence catches you fish! All winter I have struggled to find my confidence and ultimately have been struggling to trouble the money places on my chosen venues. However just recently I believe I am starting to fish well again and am gaining that all-important confidence again. From my experience the best anglers are those who make the right decisions throughout the match.
Match ace Harry Billing looks back at his White Acres Bait-Tech Festival campaign…
WHITE ACRES BAIT-TECH FESTIVAL 2012
I've been chomping at the bit for the start of the first brilliant White Acres spring festival. The fishing this winter on White Acres has been awesome and this festival turned out to be the best I've fished with loads of bites and great fishing, heres my diary of what happened:
DAY 1 - POLLAWYN, PEG 20
Really fancied this peg as its fished well all winter and has framed on a number of occasions. I started on the meat feederfor a skimmer and an F1. Fished on the bar at 15metres using a0.
