In a frame dominated by bloodworm and joker weights, sticking to his trusted hemp attack proved key for Tony Marshall as he romped to victory with an 8-15-0 roach net. Shakespeare Qualifier: Hampton Ferry, Evesham | August 14 | 74 FishedDrawn on peg 36, Tony had started his match on bloodworm and joker at 13 metres, taking a few small fish while priming his hemp line a section past where he fed his bloodworm. Then, with two hours of the match to go, Tony slipped a grain of hemp on a light, 4x10 strung out rig, and took the first of a succession of quality redfins. The key move for Tony came just half-an-hour from the end however, when he pushed past his feed to 16 metres and took two 14oz specimens to clench him victory.
