Hello and welcome to the first of my blogs! For those who don’t know who I am, I work as Editorial Assistant on Pole Fishing, and am probably as one of the most fishing obsessed men on the planet! When I’m not out shooting features or in the office writing them up, I like to get out on the bank myself competing in matches the length and breadth of the country. I also have a reputation for telling really bad jokes, so you will have to forgive me if the odd corny line finds its way into my weekly rants. I would love to know your thoughts on what I write, so feel free to get in touch by email to: tom. scholey@dhpub.
Pallatrax is proud to announce that owners Simon and Tini Pomeroy attended the Houses of Parliament, London on the 16th November for the prestigious global Green Apple Awards ceremony in recognition of international environmental best practice.
Held on the Houses of Parliament’s magnificent terrace overlooking the River Thames, companies from all over the world, as far away as Korea and Brazil, were in attendance to receive acknowledgment for developing products and inventions sympathetic to the world wide environment.
Though attendees knew they were to be honoured with an award, only at the event were they informed of the level of award in their specific category: Bronze, Silver or Gold.
Pallatrax’s patented natural Stonze fishing weights had been entered into the Sports and Leisure category, being recognised as a product with a low carbon footprint.
It feels like it was only the other day when I was waking along the bank with the sun streaming down and even a T-shirt was too much to bear.
Now all of a sudden I’m waking up and finding the need to wear something to beat the morning chills. Well, that’s where the ESP Fleece Hoody comes into play.
As you would expect from ESP it looks great, understated and in olive green it’s just what I fancy.
Winter generally means shorter sessions, trying to optimise your time in order to nick a bite and get back home in the warm.
Well, efficiency is key and with this awesome little short-session food bag allows you to organise yourself so you can make the most of your time on the bank.
Internally there is an insulated lining with adjustable divider and milk insulator, allowing you to ensure your food remains the right way up and keeps cool throughout the day.
A removable brew kit pouch is a great addition, allowing you to keep everything in just one bag.
I love a bit of liquid bait and L030 (L-zero-thirty) is one of the very best out there.
Most of the top bait companies produce a derivative of this awesome carp attractor and feed. CCMoore has always offered one of the best L030s around and the tuna adds an altogether different dimension.
This thick syrupy concoction is hugely versatile.
Fishing is very much a social sport and I’m sure – or I would like to hope – that many of you reading this will in fact enjoy fishing with your mates, partners and children as well as those days when you go alone.
This product is for the social angler, the person who requires extra space and the angler that generally plays host, because there’s always one person whose swim becomes the venue for the antics of a fishing social. The Trakker Utility shelter is the perfect space whether you’re cooking, getting changed or just talking, avoiding the rain.
With enough room to stand up in, the shelter stands tall at 195cm x 155cm deep and 218cm wide.
Cygnet Tackle is fast becoming recognised as an authoritative figure in bankware, but what was missing? Bite indication.
Well, after plenty of persuasion, Cygnet has finally revealed its plans to bring a range of bite indication products to the market with Mark Walters, the man behind the famous and prestigious Muddy Waters range.
The Clingas are available in a multitude of sizes to suit each angler’s preference and, of course, individual fishing scenarios.
From the ultra-sensitive and lightweight Old Skool variety, which scores exceptionally well with slack-line anglers and anyone in the ‘Carpy’ fraternity, moving up in size is the still small but superb Clinga Lite, an all-rounder for the majority of fishing, and the Dumpy Clinga, two of the most popular versions you will see gracing the bank.
