Publisher’s Overview

If you’d like to improve your pole fishing technique, then who better to help you than four times world champion Bob Nudd MBE!

This DVD really is an A to Z of pole fishing and Bob deals with every aspect, including what to look for when you’re buying a pole, which top kits you’re going to need and the elastics to choose to give you the best chance of landing even the largest of fish.

Filmed on location at The Glebe Fishery, in Leicestershire, Bob is joined by his friend, angling journalist and USA World Championship stalwart Gareth Purnell.

They discuss which floats to choose and when and where to use them, talk about shotting patterns, hooks and line, and show us how to feed to get the best out of our pegs.

In Part 2 Bob takes Gareth Purnell, still at The Glebe Fishery in Leicestershire, through a theoretical five-hour contest.

We learn how Bob prepares for a competition, what he thinks about as he studies a peg and ponders what it holds and how he’ll achieve a target weight.

He also runs through his bait and how he prepares it, then tells us how he plans to feed his peg and why. After showing us his rigs can he go on to catch his target? All is revealed in Part 2.

verdict

Loads of extremely useful information in these two DVDs, which comes as no surprise when it comes from someone with a track record like four times world champion Bob Nudd. Even the most knowledgeable pole angler will pick up some helpful tips from the master.

He doesn’t forget about the raw beginner either, and covers the basic stuff, even to showing how a badly tied loop knot, rather than the true figure-of-eight loop knot, can lead to breakage through strangulation.

Both DVDs were filmed back to back on the same fishery in the same swim and in winter when there is little colour about and the world is just a drab place, so don’t expect any eye candy in the way of breathtaking scenery. It also leads me to wonder why the whole two hours couldn’t have been pressed onto one disk, with cost savings on production, and some of these cost savings passed onto the consumer.

The content however is excellent, with Gareth Purnell coaxing lots of very informative pole fishing and match fishing technique out of a master of his craft.
