We took a ride down to Barston Lakes Near Solihull to check out the annual Leeda & Wychwood Trade Show.
Having been shown around the huge array of products our keen eyes spotted a few innovative items that will really stand out on the bank and benefit your fishing. Firstly was the much awaited D-Ploy bivvy, constructed from high grade lightweight aluminum poles and single aluminum rear spreader block this lightweight and durable design allows the shelter to be erected in no more than 30 seconds. Various other additions help make this an incredibly user friendly shelter that is entirely versatile to suit every anglers need and will suit the short and long session anglers alike.
Dan Hawkes from FatFish Tackle proved he can walk the walk on a recent trip out with other staff from the shop. Six fish came out to 13 people… and Dan had three of them, at 27lb 2oz, 27lb 4oz and the best at 32lb 4oz. All the fish came to a new nut-based bait developed by FatFish with Solar Tackle’s Martin Locke – in fact it was so new Dan only picked it up on the Sunday, used it for the first time on Monday and caught straightaway!The bait, exclusive to FatFish, is called Crunchy Nut Crème, and there will also be a new fishmeal bait out soon.
