Match Fishing - December 2024

What's in the December edition of the best selling Match Fishing Magazine

On the cover of the December issue of Match Fishing is feeder legend Mick Vials, but this time he’s left them in the bag and is showing how good the ‘traditional’ waggler can still be, catching silvers for fun at Springvale Fishery. Have a read and see whether this method could be incorporated into your match approach.

We’ve also got top river angler James Robbins on the Trent and canal wizard Rory Mason on the Beeston Canal, just to add a little variety to your fishing life. If you’re a commercial angler there’s plenty for you too, with features from Jim Hall, Mark Malin and Andy Kinder, while world champion Michael Buchwalder gives you the lowdown on Furzton Lake in Venue Detective.

We’ve all our regular gems too, including Andy Power, John Brooks and Kye Jerrom, plus reports from the 2024 Masters Feeder World Champs from Darren Cox and the Walterland Masters from Matt Godfrey, as well as all the results from our own Shimano Aero Leger Cup final!

There’s loads of gear on show too, including the Nytro Carp Margin pole and some great new protective clothing from Middy, plus the chance for you to win one of three bundles of Nytro Sublime luggage, worth a total of £624.90 – how do we fit it all in?!
