Current Issue

John Harvey has made it on to the cover of the September 2022 issue and you can read how he approached the Preston innovations UK Pole Champs qualifier at the excellent Packington Somers. John showed his class to win last year’s final at Woodland View and in this match his main aim was to qualify for the final once again so he can defend his title.

Also in this issue we have Browning’s Jim Hall with an interesting feature at Messingham Sands where he shows us his approach to winning matches with very little bait, catching big weights with just two or three bags of 8mm pellets, nothing else!

There’s loads more top content from Lee Thornton, Mark Pollard, Nick Speed, Steve Ringer, Phil Canning, Dan White, Trev Price, Alex Walker, John Brooks, Matt Godfrey and Kye Jerrom. We also have reports from the Midlands qualifier of the Garbolino Club Angler Of The Year at Tunnel Barn Farm, the Sonubaits Veterans Champs at Packington and the final Preston Innovations UK Pole Champs qualifier at Todber Manor.

There’s plenty of top tackle in New Gear, Tony Curd goes the extra mile testing Shimano’s Kairiki 8 braid on his distance feeder setup and has also been out to Meadowlands to give two of Daiwa’s 20 Tournament QD reels a spin.

Finally, we’ve got a great competition for you where one lucky winner will get their hands on a fantastic MAP H-36 Lite seatbox worth £499.99!
