Match Fishing Staff  |  Aug 30, 2013  |  0 comments
The original pellet feeders are among the best fish catchers around and now these micro versions look to continue that. They have been designed to hold just a small amount of feed and are ideal for short, tidy chucks where a small amount of bait is required. We really like these and can see a multitude of uses for them. RRP: From £1.

Old Ghost Groundbaits, Pastes & Sausages
Match Fishing Staff  |  Aug 30, 2013  |  0 comments
I have no problem telling you that I was initially sceptical about Old Ghost. It was a range of products that I saw last October at the Tackle & Guns Trade Show. But, up until the end of June this year, I’d not seen any of it in the flesh!The fact that you couldn’t get hold of the product after such hype, and the uncertainty over how yet more ‘foreign’ baits would be received, were the sources of my scepticism. I didn’t even think it would make it to UK soil, but it’s here!As with any new firm there is, no doubt, a battle lying ahead of the China-based bait giant if it’s to make an impact.

England Ladies Top Of The World
Match Fishing Staff  |  Aug 27, 2013  |  0 comments
The England Ladies steamed to victory this weekend, taking gold in the World Championship held on the River Sava in Radece, Slovenia. The event involved 18 teams and after day one the England Ladies were lying in eighth place, but only 12 points away from gold in an incredibly tight frame. Winning the event, however, came as a big surprise as the team thought they were out of contention before the weigh-in on day two. Their unpredicted score of just 18 penalty points won the second day, though, and pushed them to the top of the podium overall.

Pole Fishing editor wins at EveshamMatch Fishing and Pole Fishing magazines' group editor, Jon Arthur, has today become the 30th winner of the Wychavon Championship – after weighing in 11-15-0 from Peg 11 on Evesham’s Crown Meadow. Jon, who also won the contest back in 2011, pocketed a £3,000 winner's cheque, after a late barbel saw him clinch victory by a margin of just 5oz. Jon caught the barbel on a piece of worm, fished over a bed of chopped worm and caster. He explained: “At first I wasn’t sure what I had hooked, I thought it was an eel or a tench – when I saw it was a barbel I had my heart in my mouth! Fortunately, I managed to scoop it, and with my bloodworm fish it proved enough to win on the day.
