Airsprung AA Open resultLocation of match: Bristol Avon Barton Farm Date of match: 1/7/12Number of pegs/anglers: 16Report:The Bristol Avon had fined down nicely following the previous weeks floods but was still carrying a touch of pace. The expected bagging session just did not happen. Most of the action was on the first 3 pegs by the rowing club, and coming out on top on peg 2 was Garbolino Blackmore Vale’s Richie Tomala. Richie fished the pole at 13 with a 3 gram rig over groundbait and caster.

Joe Carass checks out the latest bait development from Japanese bait giant Marukyu. Is there such thing as a wonder bait? Over my years in angling I have seen all manner of weird and wonderful baits come along that are supposedly the ‘next big thing’, and guaranteed to put more fish in the net. But let’s be honest, most of these things catch the angler and not the fish and most are no more successful than the last big thing. When I first saw JPz I must admit to thinking that same thought that I’d had many times before.
