Every month, beginning next month, FISHINGmagic will nip down to the local newsagent and buy the latest coarse fishing magazines. Then we’ll flip through the pages, stopping at the best bits, and tell you what you can look forward to. Or not, as the case may be.

Personality
This is where we tell you what we think the magazine is all about. Is it for beginners or experts, match or specimen, single species with a singular slant, or just an all round effort with a little for everyone?

Feature Finder
No, not a gadget for finding the weedbeds in a lake but a look at the leading features in the magazine, where we’ll tell you what they’re trying to tell us.

Is there something you particularly want to read? You can find out right here in the comfort of your armchair, with a wee dram at your side without worrying about drinking and driving to get to the newsagents, and…. Well, you get the picture.

Tackle Box
Lifting the lid on what they’re covering in the tackle and techniques department.

Bait Box
What are they saying about baits, groundbaits and flavours. Is there anything to your taste?

Review View
And here we’ll tell you what they’re testing. Could be something you were thinking of buying. Maybe you’ve already read what somebody has to say about the product right here in these pages. But there’s nothing like a second opinion, or even a third or fourth when there could be a good few quid at stake and you’re not sure just what to buy.

The Things They Say
A sample quote from the magazine that could make you want to rush straight round to the newsagents and buy a copy. Or throw up.

So watch out for ‘This Month’s Magazines’. The first issue is next month.

A look at sea and game fishing mags may follow at a later date.
