Match Fishing  |  August 2022
Matt Pillay features on the front cover of the August 2022 issue as he talks about his favourite style of fishing, catching carp near snags. This tactic isn’t for the faint-hearted and Matt writes about the journey he’s been on to finally perfect his setup and stack all the odds in his favour when he hooks a carp next to any type of snag.
Also in this issue, we join Stu Fotheringham on the Match Lake at Larford where he’s sitting on the same peg he won last year’s Golden Reel final from… and the £50,000 that went with it. Stu has fished in two Golden Reel finals now and he’s won them both, so with this year’s event only weeks away we thought it was a great opportunity to spend some time with Stu and see first-hand the tactics he’s used to win £100,000.
For the tackle nuts out there, we’ve been to the Daiwa factory in Scotland to have an exclusive look at how the premium range of AIR Z AGS rods are made. Not only that though, Tony Curd was allowed to bring two rods back with him so we have an on-the-bank test too where he fished with the Air Z 11ft Pellet Waggler rod and the Air Z 12ft to 13ft Feeder rod and you need to see what he thought of those. There’s also plenty more top advice and tips from Andy Power, Rob Perkins, Phil Canning, Jason Jeenes, Tom Scholey, Amer Jawad, Stu Redman, Darren Cox, John Brooks, Matt Godfrey and Kye Jerrom.
Apart from the Daiwa AIR Z AGS rods, we’ve got plenty of other tackle in the New Gear section including a look at some new feeder rods from MAP, a new barrow from Westlake Match, a close look at the Colmic Superba Carpa pole and the Garbolino UK Power Performance pole, which we think will be a real hit with anglers who fish for carp on commercials. Finally, you can win a full set of Daiwa Matchman luggage worth £281.95 in our latest competition.
