Match Fishing takes a quick look at two of Milo’s latest releases for safe tackle transportation. With rods, top kits and poles costing plenty of money it’s a wise idea to protect your investment and get it to the bank in order. These two latest releases, which will be available in both black and red colours, will help you to achieve just that. Made from a rigid material, the rod holder allows safe transportation thanks to this outer protection, but also the array of pockets and straps on the inside will help to lock your precious goods in place during transit and accessory pockets afford more space for essentials.

Sometimes you just have a day's fishing that you will never forget, well last Thursday I had one, catching my personal best match weight ever. I had a club match on the Match Lake at Heronbrook Fisheries, with the Cheshire Maver team. The match lake at Heronbrook is only a venue I have fished only a handful of times, so went I drew peg 4 I didn't quite know what to expect, the lake holds a good head of F1s and some big Carp upto 20lb. I started the match on the method feeder loaded with 2mm sticky method pellets and a banded 6mm , chucking to the big Island in the middle of the lake, I caught a couple of small F1s and a small mirror carp within the first 15 minutes.
