Webb’s World
Dan Webb recalls the recent Northamptonshire County Cup, and a less than profitable trip to Ireland…
Well, there it is… 12 months have passed since I started writing these, er, chronicles. Yes, chronicles, I like that! Much has changed in that time, although I am a little disappointed that my two-page spread has now dropped to only one page and hasn’t in fact taken over at least 12 pages.
To try and remedy this, I’ve sent Tom 300 photos from my recent trip to Ireland, so he has no excuse for short changing me again! I’m sure at least one of them will be good enough for a cover shot. I may not be an Andy Geldart, but if Des Shipp is handsome enough to get on the cover then I’m sure I am!
Anyway, as I’m writing this I’ve just competed in the nationally prized and prestigious Northamptonshire County cup.
Back Of The Net!Introducing the new range of nets brought to you by Matrix.
The recent rebranding over at Matrix has seen a host of items in its catalogue get a revamp over the past few months, with plenty of fresh new additions as well.
We had a good glimpse at many of the new products on offer at the recent trade show that Matrix held, with plenty of standout products on display. One area of the show that grabbed our attentions was over at the net display.
A Platform for success!“It will accommodate most modern seatboxes and gives you plenty of loading space to carry all the kit to your swim in one trip. ”Match Fishing puts the latest platform and borrow system from Matchcraft in the spotlight!
Today’s matchmen typically carries a lot more gear than they used to, especially those who fish on the increasingly popular natural-venue scene. Rivers, canals and large open waters have seen a real boom of anglers recently, with events such as RiverFest, the Feeder Masters and the Drennan Knockout Cup holding high-profile matches on them.
In cases such as these there are two items of tackle that anglers are rarely seen without – a platform and a barrow! The latest addition to the already popular Matchcraft platform and barrow system has been made to the most demanding match angler’s specification.
Tiny Ticklers!Jake Fowles gets out on the bank with the Commercial King Tickler range of rods from Browning…
Since starting here at Match Fishing a lot of my tackle testing has revolved around poles, so when features editor Matt Godfrey tasked me with testing the latest bite-size rods from Browning, I welcomed the opportunity with open arms. The Commercial King Carp Tickler and lighter F1 Tickler are 7ft rods, with the construction being one main section and an interchangeable tip section, with the choice of either a 0. 5oz or 1oz tip provided as standard. This allows for a quick and easy setup, with storage in a ready rod bag or the provided rod sleeve made simple.
•Three pole-retaining options
•EVA foam coated
•Compact and practical
