Garbolino Dominate Barston

Bolies Reign Supreme as Garbolino Dominate BarstonRound 2 of the Preston Innovations backed UK Angling Championships saw a last minute change of venue from Colemans Cottage to the coliseum of competition angling, Bartson Lakes. Host venue of the British Carp Angling Championships the weekend before the UKLAC, Barston saw large quantities of boilies fed in the water and the carp loved it. A tactical team discussion from Darren Cox saw a number of the Garbolino boys hit the lake on the feeder with bright boilies on the hook, loose feeding boilies over the top individually and continually through the match. It paid off and as the scores were checked the Garbolino anglers recorded 4 section wins, with Simon Fry taking overall honours for the whole match with 99lbs 4oz and Harry Billing third overall with 91.

Match Fishing Staff  |  Jul 22, 2011  |  0 comments
7 teams of eight lined up to fish the second round of the Superleague on the Huntspill between Gold Corner and past the Clapper and the venue fished quite consistently with plenty of Bream, skimmers, eels and Roach to be caught. River Huntspill – Gold Corner to the Clapper (56 pegs). Winner on the day was Kev Perry (Sensas Thyers) who was pegged below Woolavington bridge and caught tight across on the feeder on maggots and worms to take Bream to 4lb and weigh in 49-12. Second was Dave Micklewright (Maver Bathampton) who caught Bream to 3lb on the feeder from peg 60 above Woolavington.

Garbolino G Max Float Rods
Match Fishing Staff  |  Jul 21, 2011  |  0 comments
The G-Max feeder rod range was a massive hit in the Match Fishing office, so when the float rod range came in we all got a bit excited! But are they any good? Joe Carass took a closer look…After being hugely impressed with the G-Max feeder rods that we tested a couple of months ago I could not wait to get my hands on the new float rods from Garbolino. I have long been a fan of Garbolino rods having used several of them from the Super G range for quite a long time. They have always been great value and top performers, so when Garbolino’s main man Darren Cox told me that these new offerings were in a different league then I must admit to getting rather excited!First up in the range is the 11ft 6in Commercial Waggler. This rod is a two-piece model that has been designed for commercial-fishery situations.

Preston Innovations Gis 14 Absolute
Match Fishing Staff  |  Jul 21, 2011  |  0 comments
Joe Carass checks out a new flagship pole that’s set to become a big seller in 2011… Preston Innovations has managed to raise the bar in pole design yet again with the GiS 14 Absolute. In an era where every pole we see is aimed at carp fishing, it makes a refreshing change to find a pole that is beautifully light and stiff, yet still retains plenty of strength for those situations when you need it. Preston has worked closely with Tommy Pickering and Des Shipp to produce the ultimate match pole. With the GiS 14 Absolute you get an excellent package of two match top fours, three power top twos, one short No4, one Kup Kit and Kups and a 10-tube GiS holdall.

Will it be another success for the tackle giant?With Browning’s Xitan range of poles growing in popularity, I couldn’t wait to have a look at the latest addition to the range – the Z7. 5 – to see if it could live up to the standard set by its predecessors.

Sensas 700 Seatbox
Match Fishing Staff  |  Jul 21, 2011  |  0 comments
We’re in an era when good-quality seatboxes are arriving at our offices every few weeks, so just how good is the new Sensas 700? Joe Carass checked one over to find out… For the past few years Sensas has been trying to make a name for itself in the seatbox market, and several models have been brought out since the company’s first designs. Now, though, I think that a product of a quality synonymous with the Sensas name has finally hit the tackle shops. The 700 box really is the perfect example of what the modern match angler is looking for in a seatbox. It has a modular design so that trays can be added for extra storage, along with a slide-out rig section where anglers can house hundreds of rigs or various other bits and bobs.
