England Feeder Team Manager, Tom Pickering reflects on the World Championship. The Preston Innovations England Feeder team arrived back in England yesterday, after competing in the World Championship in South Africa last weekend. Despite securing a team bronze medal behind winners, South Africa, and runners-up Hungary, England team manager, Tom Pickering admitted that he was "gutted" that the team hadn't returned with gold. He explained: "I have no problems holding my hands up and saying we got it wrong.
This neat and compact system allows longer than average hooklengths to be stored with ease.
The box contains eight of the spools, with each capable of holding up to 10 hooklengths. The line clip is also a clever idea and allows the hooklengths to be always stored under tension. RRP: £14.
Browning poles really are fantastic and this latest mid-range offering truly is superb.
Handling at the full 14. 5 metres is brilliant and its rigidity is likened to a pole of a much higher value. Browning’s reputation with poles is constantly growing and with models such as this it is easy to see why.
Get In A Frenzee! Joe Carass gets to grips with the Frenzee FMR 3000 reel. Reels don’t seem to have changed much in the last few years. For sure they have got better and also much cheaper, but fundamentally they all revolve around the same principles. I suppose the biggest shift was when modern commercial anglers started using front-drag reels instead of the previously popular rear-drag offerings.
Yet another superb pole from the guys at Tri-Cast. The Iconic uses the same technology as the fearsome Trilogy Pro 2 that we rated so highly.
Packed with features and supplied with a great spares package, the Iconic Pro is a super-stiff pole with bags of strength. Well worth checking out!RRP: £1,549.
