Joe Carass takes a look at a new addition to the Preston Mini rod range that is not quite so mini!The Mini range of rods from Preston Innovations has been one of the biggest success stories in fishing tackle in recent years, and if you walk around any commercial fishery in the country you are sure to see some of the rods on the bank. The range has, however, now been extended to cater for the huge variety of commercial fishing available in the UK. A recent trend has seen matches fished that require a long-distance approach; venues such as Barston Lakes in particular regularly see distances of 80 yards plus needed to reach the fish. Initially anglers turned to the Preston Dutch Master rods to reach the mark but the actions weren’t quite right for playing the F1s, carp and skimmers that make up the weights.
Three different-shaped bombs to cover all kinds of fishing situations. Available in flat pear, bullet cube and distance bomb to cater for different distances, all shapes are available in 0. 5oz to 1. 5oz.
