Match Fishing Magazine December 2022 Back Issue

Rob Perkins has made it on to the cover of the December issue and inside he shares the knowledge he’s gained over the years that helps him to overcome the challenges of fishing tidal rivers. With flow that goes one way and the other, with levels that drop and rise, tidal rivers are full of fish but they can be a tough nut to crack. Rob’s advice will be invaluable if you find yourself facing these variable conditions.
Also in this issue we have Callum Dicks, who took the Match Fishing cameras to Tunnel Barn Farm to show us the tactics he uses when he fishes the popular 10-match winter league on the venue throughout the colder months. Callum shows us the approach he uses on this venue wherever he draws and whatever the conditions. However, to make it work there are two variables that you need to work out on the day and once you’ve done this the rest of the match follows quite a simple plan. There’s also plenty more top content and loads of hints, tips and advice from the likes of Graham West, Andy Power, Russ Shipton, Darren Cox, Danny Wilson, Nick Speed, Tom Scholey, Glen Picton, Mark Cree, John Brooks, David Cowburn, Matt Godfrey and Kye Jerrom. We also have a report on the first ever final of the Shimano Aero Leger Cup at Lindholme Lakes.where the winner pocketed £4,000!
As always we have plenty of new gear in the magazine including Tony Curd taking a close look at a pole that’s got plenty of tongues wagging over the last few weeks, the new Maver MV-RXX. This is a flagship model with amazing stiffness and balance, but it’s also rated to a 20+ elastic! Could this be the beginning of a new era for top-of-the-range poles? Tony is also testing the new Shimano Aero XR-4000 reel, which is certain to find plenty of fans because of its top performance and price. Finally, we’ve got an Octbox Comfort Seat and accessories worth £302 up for grabs in our latest competition.
