A superb value-for-money double-handled reel that comes supplied with a staggering four spools! It has a smooth rear drag and excellent winding power for a reel in this class. RRP: £10. . .
This new groundbait is exactly what it says on the tin! It’s fantastic on its own and particularly good for F1s, and is also great as a base mix to which the other Sonubaits additives can be added to create your own personalised mix. RRP: £5. 99. .

Available in 5g, 6g and 7g these floats are ideal for short-range pellet-waggler work. The buoyant shape will hold up the pellet well but also create some resistance to help make the rig self hooking. RRP: £1. 50.
Barby Banks Evening Series, Rugby, Warwickshire – Wednesday 20th June.
Pole Fishing editor Jon Arthur topped the field with his third successive ton-up catch in the Barby Banks three-hour evening contests.
The Pole Fishing editor used a variety of tactics in his 13m wide swim, including pellets, groundbait and maggots and the Method feeder underamed tight across for 30 carp and a 118lb 8oz winning catch.
In second place was Mark Griffiths (Guru) with 87lb 4oz with worm over groundbait while Mick Timson (Dynamite Makins) was third with 65lb 10oz (he wasn't allowed to weigh in the surprise crayfish he caught!).

First place this time went to Mark Griffiths (Guru) with a fantastic 126lb 8oz catch in just three hours. Mark caught most of his fish late on with maggot and worm over groundbait and included carp to 8lb plus a bonus 2lb barbel.

Harry Billing ended with a good result in the White Acres Garbolino Spring Classic. Here’s how he got on…
I was really looking forward to the Garbolino Spring Classic at brilliant White Acres. It is smaller in numbers than the usual festivals, but still full of very good anglers and I would need to get my drawing arm going this week! I was also hoping to continue the Garbolino-sponsored anglers domination of the recent festivals, with Grant Albutt, Andy Geldart and Darren Cox all winning the three major Spring festivals!
DAY 1 – TREWATERS 26
Really fancied this peg but it was windless and really struggled for 19lb. I couldn’t make anything work, all the fish seemed to be to my right which was where the wind was blowing.
