Because they’re Worth It!Tom Scholey extols the virtues of the two most prized rods in his holdall, the Daiwa Airity 12/13ft Feeder, and the Daiwa Tournament 10ft Feeder.
As anybody who reads my pole reviews in Match Fishing’s sister title, Pole Fishing, will tell you – I am the stereotypical tight Yorkshireman.
Sure, I like the flagship poles, but what really gets my juices flowing is mid-range poles that punch well above their weight – and believe me there are plenty of them of them out there. Indeed, the pole I use for my own fishing, Daiwa’s mighty G50 Connoisseur, costs around £1,000.
Hello and welcome to the first of my blogs! For those who don’t know who I am, I work as Editorial Assistant on Pole Fishing, and am probably as one of the most fishing obsessed men on the planet! When I’m not out shooting features or in the office writing them up, I like to get out on the bank myself competing in matches the length and breadth of the country. I also have a reputation for telling really bad jokes, so you will have to forgive me if the odd corny line finds its way into my weekly rants. I would love to know your thoughts on what I write, so feel free to get in touch by email to: tom. scholey@dhpub.
