Reading some of the threads today and regarding old programs and old match-men which is not something I do not know a lot about so, I stand to be corrected. I was wondering if such a thing exists as specialized matches. I am thinking along the lines of rod and reel only, roach only, chub only, perch only, or any species only, only roach above a 1lb, only bream above 3lb or any permutation that makes sense.
I imagine a series of programs based on this would be very interesting. Thinking caps required, some of the old match-men might come out and show how its done, A bright and varied array of methods and baits would be on show and so on. Even someone like me might have a chance !
Most matches it appears to me these days are for lake/commercial-pole anglers and F carp and I imagine one match would look like any other. Which I have nothing against but, could it be made more interesting and varied if this type of thing does not already exist. I would want to watch something like this if it was televised. I imagine it would be quite fascinating; a wide and interesting set of skills would be on show and it would be hard to win.
Just thoughts to be expanded on or rubbished.
