The Preston Pole Pairs qualifier fished at Tunnel Barn Farm on 26th November saw the top three pairs on the day progress through to the Grand Final at Woodland View.
The match turned out to be a bitter sweet affair for the Maver Gold Dynamite team. Fielding four pairs out of the twenty-four that fished, the team were hopeful of a good result and so it turned out to be with Luke Capewell (pictured above right) and Wayne Bailey (pictured above left) qualifying for the final. The pair finished in third place with a combined weight of 89lb 11oz.
Unbelievable Value!
Tom Scholey gets on the bank with the Maver Oculus 999, a pole he believes sets a new standard in mid-range pole performance.
To say that I was extremely impressed with this pole would be the king of all understatements. Value for money-wise, it is among the very best I have tested. Why? Because it is probably the only pole that I have tested in its price point that performs exceptionally well at its full length.
The beast of the bank!Jake Fowles looks at the Four-Wheel Barrow Platform XXL from Penrose, a really manly piece of kit!
Long walks, uneven banks and shallow margins are commonplace at many natural venues. But what do we do when we are presented with no designated man-made stage, no obvious flat spot to lay down our seatbox, or a swim that only starts getting deep enough to catch fish well past the length of our pole?
This is where barrow platforms come into play. Not only do they allow you to load copious amounts of tackle on to them, but by removing the handles and wheels on arrival at the peg and adding four legs we are able to forge our own platform, whether that is in shallow water, on uneven rocky surfaces or among waterside foliage.
Finding a stable platform that gives you the utmost confidence to do everything you usually would on a standard man-made peg is integral and with the added risk of potentially dangerous swims where they best come into play, they are a necessity in certain situations.
Bradley Gibbons fished the Preston Pole Pairs qualifier at Hampshire’s Gold Valley Lakes in an effort to get into the £11,000 Grand Final. He and partner Mark Goddard have managed to book their place in March’s final with a combined effort of just over 15lb. The pair, will now compete for their chance to win the £4,000 first place prize at Woodland View on March 4th along with twenty nine other pairs.
“Saturday just gone saw me venture to Gold valley lakes in Aldershot attempting to qualify for the Pole Pairs final.
