VISIT The NEC in Birmingham to catch the latest products and land top tips from Britain's top anglers at this year's Go Fishing Show, from Friday, February 27 to Sunday, February 29.
Go Fishing is the UK's largest and most comprehensive angling event for coarse, carp, game and sea fishing. The show will feature all the innovations in the world of angling.
In the Angler's Challenge, fishermen and women will witness at fish-eye level, the winning tactics used by Matt Hayes and Bob Nudd. And, courtesy of the latest new hi-tech magazine Angling Times Advanced, they will see for themselves the vital tactical advantages employed by the big names as they reveal all in their tackle boxes!
The big secrets of the nation's Stillwater masters will be revealed in the Angling Times Baggin' Zone. This zone, stocked with coarse fish, will replicate a typical commercial fishery.
Carp fishing's number one, Terry Hearn, will be a major presence at this year's show. Visitors can meet him in his World of Carp and listen as he talks to a host of angling's top names at Hearnmere, a purpose-built indoor pool.
Game stars Iain Barr, Gareth Jones, Paul Proctor, Andy Murray and Alberto Salvini will demonstrate their skills on the Trout Fisherman Reservoir in the Casting and Fishing Clinic. They will also participate in the Advice Squad Live! where more secrets will be revealed.
Centrepiece of the sea angling area will be Birmingham-on-Sea, a specially-built beach where the country's top shore anglers will be giving talks on tackle and techniques.
The Sea Angler's Bait and Rig Clinic will host experts including Steve Mills, Dave Lewis, Paul Kerry and Roger Bayzand.
