Insurance firm hits the bank for new advertising campaign - with prizes on offer too. What’s fishing got to do with car insurance? We’re not too sure either, but you might well have seen a few of the latest adverts produced by Aviva starring comedian and angling nut Paul Whitehouse. Featuring a character called Ollie there are several very funny ads to watch on the firm’s You Tube channel – we particularly like ‘Ollie won’t be in today’. Plus Ollie’s also sprung a new Facebook page complete with an arcade style fishing game.

DAY SIX: WIN 7METRES OF SUPERB ARMAMESH HOOK BAIT PROTECTOR WORTH £25Like on day three, we’re cheating a little bit here as not only are we giving away 7metres of Armamesh, we’re also chucking in a 7metre refill spool. Armamesh is growing more and more popular as crayfish become a bigger problem in many UK waters. Although similar in appearance, this is not PVA. It is, however, an ultra tough mesh stocking, which comes on a tube, which you use to mesh-up your baits to ward off the unwanted attentions of nuisance species.
