Pole Pot Perfection! Our editorial assistant Jake Fowles takes a close look at the impressive Grip-Flex Pro Pole Pots from Middy! Here at Match Fishing magazine we are continually impressed by the range of products that come out of the Middy factory and grace the shelves of tackle shops up and down the country. It is not always just the flashy range of poles, rods or other larger items that catch our eyes, either. Sometimes small items can be equally impressive, and that is certainly the case with the Grip-Flex Pro Pole Pots that Middy has unleashed on to the market. The Grip-Flex pots come in a two-pot package that features a unique press-flex base, allowing you to attach the pots to your top kits easily.

The Italian Job

Match Fishing Staff | Nov 02, 2016 | 0 comments

International Match Fishing The License To Pull! Match Fishing takes you to Italy’s most prolific match venue, the mighty River Arno, where Steve Gardener is victories in one of the most demanding matches on the calendar… The River Arno in Pisa, Italy, is my favourite fishing venue in the world. It is totally unique by way of the species you catch and the style of fishing required to catch them. At over 100 metres wide at the narrowest point and ranging from eight to 16 feet deep, it’s not for the faint-hearted. One event on my calendar year after year is the Red Tetragon Pairs match on this venue, and this year I was lucky enough to win it with my partner, and Italian legend, Milo Colombo! The target species are predominantly catfish, ranging from 1oz to double figures! The average stamp, however, is between 8oz and 2lb, and these fish have razor sharp fins that flare up to spike you.

How To Blame A Bad Peg…

Match Fishing Staff | Oct 26, 2016 | 0 comments

Webb’s World Excuse making is Dan Webb’s topic this month, an art he is particularly accomplished in… You’ve just got home in a foul mood. You chuck your kit in the garage and kick the dog. The kids run away scared. As you crack open a cold one from the fridge the wife asks: “How did you get on today?” Why did she ask? She never asks! She finds talking about fishing as interesting as you find listening to her recall what Sharon from number 26 said to Tanya about Clare’s new hair! She most probably knows you’ve had a bad day and just wants to wind you up.

A Pound Here, A Pound There

Well, it’s certainly been a while since I last updated you with my extraordinarily exciting life. It’s amazing how I blink and months disappear. Work has been interesting to say the least and looking back I’m amazed I managed to fish the matches I have. Being so busy I pulled away from the big majors this year.

Garbolino Mustang Speed Whips

Match Fishing Staff | Sep 28, 2016 | 0 comments

Mustang Speed!Matt Godfrey gives Garbolino’s hot new whip collection a workout they weren’t expecting… To test this latest range of whips I could have easily gone on a canal to catch gudgeon, or a river to bag a few bleak. But would that be a real test? Probably not. I wanted to put a little pressure on these beauties! I decided to break the rules a little and, although these whips are designed for catching large numbers of small fish, I took them to my local Barby Banks Fishery. This venue is home to a big head of carp well into double figures, but it’s also full of other fish that are rarely targeted.
