Guru Graduation!
Match Fishing Staff  |  Feb 14, 2017  |  0 comments
Match Fishing magazine gets on the bank with the first two graduates of the Guru Match Academy! You’d have thought that, at just 14 and 15 years of age respectively, Rob Swan and Will McCranor spend most of their days locked in a dark bedroom playing computer games and glued to their iPhones, like many teenagers in modern society. In actual fact, when not working hard on their studies during term time you will more than likely find them on the banks of one of their local fisheries, giving the adults a run for their money on an open match or festival. Both are the very first graduates of the brand new Guru Match Academy. This is an event run by Guru, which sees a group of young match anglers coached over a two-day period, where over those two days the Guru stars decide between them which pair of youngsters involved is going to gain a sponsorship deal worth over £1,000! We caught up with Rob and Will at the picturesque Partridge Lakes Fishery, in Warrington, to see how they were getting on since successfully acquiring their sponsorships with Guru.

Dockerty Goes Pro!
Match Fishing Staff  |  Feb 13, 2017  |  0 comments
Garbolino and Dynamite backed ace Alex Dockerty is to join the Garbolino Lindholme team on a permanent basis. Starting in June, the 21 year old Doncaster ace will become Lindholme’s resident angling coach, as well as offering his expertise to customers in the on-site tackle shop. Alex said: “ Unlike many sports angling coaching seems to be very limited in terms of the number of people offering their services so hopefully this will be a way to pass on my knowledge of the venue and help others in the way many have helped me over the years. The plan is to offer a multitude of sessions ranging from group days and evening classes to a full day’s one to one tuition.

Big Carp In The Cold
Match Fishing Staff  |  Feb 07, 2017  |  0 comments
Five-times world champion Alan Scotthorne looks at targeting quality fish in the cold and explains why a plummet is your best friend! At this time of year on commercial fisheries the target fish should be firmly on the bottom, so all that slapping and shallow fishing has almost gone out of the window! This is when the trusty plummet becomes your best friend, so here are a few tips that should help you get the best out of this simple device. Feed little and often - the fish will often still respond to the noise of bait hitting the water. Understanding the contours of the bottom of the swim you have drawn is of the utmost importance. I’ve watched anglers plumb their swims in a matter of seconds and this is possibly one of the biggest mistakes made in fishing.

Guru Pure Fluorocarbon Micro Shot
Match Fishing Staff  |  Feb 03, 2017  |  0 comments
What makes a good shot? We’d say one that has an open, even cut, that can be nipped on to thick and thin lines and stays in place, but can also be moved without damaging the line. Available in sizes from No8 to No12, that’s exactly what the new Guru shot is. Sourced from the renowned ZLT shot producer, each batch is specially inspected for consistency and quality. In the neat and compact containers, which are secure but also easy to open without spillages, they’re sure to be a big hit with matchmen.

Guru Bait Strainers
Match Fishing Staff  |  Feb 03, 2017  |  0 comments
These are a product developed for one thing, but that are sure to have a whole range of uses! Originally, they were designed for soaking pellets in, as they allow you to lift out and drain your pellets at whatever point you want. They fit neatly into the Guru bait tubs, and are available in two sizes. They’re not only perfect for soaking pellets, however, as they make the ideal tub for storing and draining any baits that you keep in water, allowing you to quickly lift off the strainer to remove the bait from the water, before bagging it up for the next session. You can use the strainers at home or on the bank, and another perfect use for them is when using meat, to soak the meat in water – preferably warm water – to strain and take off the fats that cause much of it to float and drift away in any tow.
