MAP Flexi Pots - A clever range of pots that fit centrally on your pole.
World Pairs triumph for England feeder team duo.
Week-long leaders Rob Wootton and Adam Wakelin held onto their lead to become 2014 world Pairs Champions.
After setting a superb pace earlier in the week, Adam and Rob only had to keep catching to take the glory, and that they did.
Weights dropped off for the pair later in the week with Rob suffering some poorer draws, while Adam kept chugging along to take the Daiwa Individual Cup.
The men in orange take gold thanks to a fantastic two-day display.
Finishing on a two-day total of 38 points, the Netherlands took the title by a six-point margin from Czech Republic who finished on 44.
For Drennan Team England it was a disappointing Day Two as the anglers failed to improve on their Day One score and slumped to a 16th placed finish.
It was a disappointing result for the team following last year's gold, but the venue turned out to be a bridge too far.
England finding the going tough in Croatia.
After Day One of the 61st World Championships in Croatia, it is looking unlikely that Drennan Team England will be able to add another gold to their tally.
As was predicted the venue has proved to be an extremely tough nut to crack with many of the favoured teams struggling to get to grips with it. The draw also seemingly playing its part in the results.
Official results make grim reading for England and the home nations.
Since our last post the official standings have been released and its looking difficult to see any way back for England who have finished lower than previously thought.
Labouring down in 14th place, it would be easy to believe that they can’t get a medal of any colour but given the unpredictability of the venue anything could happen.
1st Netherland - 16
2nd Croatia - 23
3rd Serbia - 23
4th Czech Republic - 25
5th Germany - 28
13th Ireland - 41
14th England - 44
15th Scotland - 44
23rd Wales - 55 .
Steve Hemingray to sit out on Day One
Drennan Team England has announced the team for the first day of the World Championship, with last year's silver medallist Hemingray missing out.
The team will be Sean Ashby, Will Raison, Alan Scotthorne, Des Shipp and making his World Championship debut, Callum Dicks.
England will be looking to add yet another gold medal to their tally, but the demanding venue is certainly going to prove a tough nut to crack for the team.
Held on a man-made channel that serves as flood relief between Lake Dubrava and the River Drava, the anglers have had to cope with a torrent of a venue with exceptionally strong flows.
England feeder team pairing Adam Wakelin and new UK Champion Rob Wootton are setting a blistering pace in the World Pairs in Ireland. Arguably the two most in-form anglers in the UK at the moment, the dynamic duo have a colossal 42 kilo lead over the second placed pairing of Steve and Phil Ringer.
Caught on a mix of both pole and feeder tactics, Adam and Rob are proving unstoppable having caught weights to a fantastic 28 kg, with roach, skimmers, hybrids and perch making up the catches.
With the event being decided on weight, the event is still far from won for the pair, but it would take a phenomenal last two days for the chasing pack to catch the leaders.
