Get Pinging! Jamie Hughes likes to keep in touch with the ever changing behaviour of fish. Here is why he thinks hard pellets are starting to rule over soft…
Pellets have always been the bait in which I have the most confidence. I have spent years perfecting the way that my bait is prepared and also the best ways of presenting the bait through my rigs. For a long time fishing with softened micros and a soft hook pellet/expander was the best way to approach most fisheries that I visited and at times is still a great method.
We are excited to announce a new format for the Preston Innovations Pole Fishing Pairs competition. In a break from our old league-style format, this year we are holding a series of qualifiers up and down the country, with the top three pairs from each qualifying for the Grand Final at Preston Innovations Woodland View Fishery on Saturday, March 4th.
Here, subject to turnout, and thanks to generous backing from the sponsors Preston Innovations, we will pay out over £11,000 in cash with nine pairs being paid out. The winning pair will walk away with £4,000 and the prestigious Preston Innovations Pole Fishing Pairs trophy.
Run by Lee Kerry, and Match Fishing's own Tom Scholey and Matt Godfrey, this series promises to utilise the fantastic mixed species fishing on offer at Lindholme lakes.

Reading The Water. . . Tom Scholey gets to grips with possibly the most unusual item that he has ever been sent for review, the Deeper Smart Sonar Pro+…
I must admit to being slightly perplexed when I was sent the Deeper Smart Sonar Pro+ fishfinder for review in this, a match fishing magazine.
All-Round Power… Matt Godfrey hits the bank with the latest mid-range weapon from Frenzee.
I love getting out on the bank with what I like to think are mid-range poles. The reason? Simply because they are what I have used for a lot of my own fishing, and very often still do. That’s why I was very excited when the FXT Precision Power pole from Frenzee arrived in our offices.
