Long-reputable tackle giant Shimano has cranked up the torque yet again in the reel department for 2016, with the release of the show-stopping Stradic FK – a flagship match reel with a new no-back-wind concept!The eternal question that is often asked within tackle development is how much better can fishing tackle get? Shimano has always been respected for making quality reels, and year after year new technology is applied to produce something more advanced than ever before. Gracing the shelves of Shimano’s showroom on our recent visit was the brand-new Stradic FK, assured to tickle the taste buds of the country’s tackle aficionados!A new gear concept, known as Hagane Gear, has been applied to this reel, which provides maximum strength and efficiency throughout the tool. On the outside, the aluminium body creates the perfect protection case, within which Shimano’s X-Ship System and shielded A-RB bearings are held. Engineering expertise has been applied to enhance the fish-playing performance this reel offers.

Joe Carass checks out the Super 36, the new flagship seatbox from Matrix. We are spoilt for choice nowadays when it comes to choosing a seatbox. There seems to be no end of quality offerings around at the moment and choosing the one for you has never been trickier – they are all so good!I have long been a fan of the Matrix boxes. They took what I loved about the previous Fox MSB system and improved them by integration into the more modern frame-style boxes.
It wasn’t until the first week of September that the cat was finally let out of the bag. Joe Carass reviews the hottest pole on the 2016 block – Preston Innovations’ Response M90!The Preston Innovations Response M90 pole is one of the worst best-kept secrets in modern match fishing. Look carefully at any of the Preston consultants’ Twitter or Facebook feeds and there is likely to be a rather nice looking black and silver pole section lurking in there somewhere!We knew it was coming a long time ago but details and specifics were sketchy. It was clear that Preston was trying to get these as fully tested by the consultants as possible, while also being as tight lipped as MI5.
Marukyu sponsor new national event.
Match Fishing and sister title Pole Fishing are to run a Veterans Championship in 2016. The event – which has attracted sponsorship from bait giant Marukyu – will see four 90-peg qualifiers take place, one in the North East, one in the North West, one in the Midlands and one in the South. Twenty anglers from each will qualify for a grand final, to be held at the picturesque Packington Somers Fishery in September next year.
