Match Fishing

loading ...

This type of angling is possibly the most popular kind of competitive fishing in the world; it’s much more than a hobby to those taking part. More than that, spectators and fans of the sport are actively encouraged to support the competitors from the banks and cheer them on – without scaring away the fish, that is. When the fish are caught, they are weighed and then released back into the water; the angler who has the heaviest total catch is the winner. As well as the usual fishing tackle, there are lots of other pieces that competitors use to spur them on to victory. Trays, bowls, and rollers are always useful to have, as well as pole rests – so you can have more than one rod on the go at any time – which cost as little as £3.99.

Most of the items in this section are aimed at getting you fishing better and faster, take the Megaforce X Fast Drag Reel (£39.99), for example, its custom design is perfectly suited to bait fishing, and the ‘fast drag’ allows you to loosen off quickly without too much resistance. There are dozens of different feeders, priced up to £175.00, and some of the best quality carp rods you’ll find, designed by some of the industry’s biggest names. At Carp.co.uk there’s everything you might need to help you achieve great things in the competitive world of match fishing.
