TOTAL COARSE FISHING SHOW STONELEIGH PARK  

Page 4 of my TCF show report.......... 

Garbolino – This company went all out with there stand it really was the best of the show, they had dozens of rods and a pole alley set up for people to try out  all of there current and new pole ranges. There was also on hand advice from the likes of Neil Machin and Darren Cox, two of the best Match anglers in the country, both have extensive input into Garbolino’s product developments and help produce some very innovative items of tackle. The main items that caught my eye where the all new G10 Competition pole and the G10 Power pole, both these poles where simply awesome, they where rigid at full length, light well balanced and strong with the G10 Competition being one of the straightest poles’s I have ever held at 16m it was a pleasure to handle. I am sure both of these poles will sell in there thousands, they are that good. The other product that caught my eye was the Super G seat box, this was a completely different type of seat box, it featured a strong steel frame and stable retractable footplate and a swiveling seat attachment mounted on a strengthened pole, it come with a slide in stacka-box section for winders and tackle and the top of the range had carbon adjustable legs and a trolley kit and extra accessories. This box is really different but both practical and highly useable well done to Garbolino.

 Listed below is a sample of the new products I saw at the show.

 Garbolino Super G power 14.5 pole – This is simply a superb power pole which I cant see having any problems taming even the largest commercial carp, it was light, balanced and felt powerful and strong due to the reinforced joints, top piece of kit.

 Garbolino Super G carbon seat box – Innovative and completely new idea featuring a strong frame and multi-swivel seat which is mounted on a strong central pole , also featuring a more than stable retractable platform and carbon extending legs plus a host of add on accessories including a wheel kit.

 

 

Cotswold Baits – This was another stand that put on a good show with its vast array of products, Cotswold baits is a fairly new bait company that produces fish friendly products that are aimed mainly at the Specimen Carp angler, with products such as PVA friendly particles and Session buckets which have everything in them from hook baits to feed pellets, glugs and more, basically everything required for a fishing session. On the stand they also had various liquid additives and glugs in a vast range of flavours which include Molasses, Squid, bloodworm, Salmon oil and many more all coming in 500ml bottle, which is more than enough for a few sessions can they can be added to boilie mixes, soaking plastic baits and groundbaits. Also on the stand where various feed pellets and many different types of boilie hook bait, of which I thought looked Camopops looked the most interesting as they offer something completely different, they are made using natural fish food sources such as bloodworm and freshwater shrimp and are coloured in a marble effect of different colours, so on waters where fish have seen it all these could be the difference between a bite-less day and a PB on the bank.   So to conclude if you are after something different for your bait table then these could be just the ticket.

Listed below are a just a couple of products from this companies extensive bait range.

 

Session Buckets - These are a super idea for both the day ticket and specimen angler, they offer a one-stop bait solution for your next trip. The session bucket includes 15mm Future boilies complete with FREE matching Pellets, Pop-Ups and Dip! All you could either need for a single trip. They are available in 10 flavours such as Banana, Malt Whisky, Monster Crab, Pineapple, Scopex etc.  

Technipops - These are a cutting edge bait bringing a whole new outlook to Pop up Baits, these baits are different because they are all one flavour but they come in five different colours all in the same pot, enabling you to ring the changes when you know the flavour is working but not the colour. Each Technipop pot contains a selection of 14mm pop-ups in five colours, yellow, orange, pink, white and green.

PVA friendly particles - These are a range of top quality particle baits ,these come in 1.2 Litre buckets and include Maize, Hemp, Tigers and Mixed Particles, they are cooked using a unique process ensuring perfect particles with not only an extended shelf life but do not melt away PVA bags.
