  The local club sweepstake, an open match, tackling a tough winter canal match, catching big weights of carp and bream - these are just some of the many different competitive situations examined in this book. Some are based on actual events, while others are a combination of fact and fiction which show what can happen in this fast-moving sport. Each one, whether successful or otherwise, can add to the match angler's repertoire and improve his chances next time. Many would-be competitors in the angling world dream of making the transition from pleasure angler to match fisher, but have no idea how best to start. Here the author advises on tackle, planning for various matches, getting the maximum benefit from practice sessions and solving problems which arise during competition.
