Kings Hall Angling Show

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Anyone know the dates for this year ? Supposed to be a bigger event than last year with the whole hall being used.

last time i went to this (quite a few years ago) it was almost all steered towards the freshwater game or coarse fishermen, has it had much sea stuff at it in recent years?

Wouldn't say huge amounts last year, right enough... Only came home with 2 bags of tackle...

But as you know, that was the first year... Apparantly the shows ment to be even bigger this year... Its always worth a look like...

Seems that in Ireland we are the poor relations! Have a look at some of the stuff available at the World of Fishing Show in Birmingham NEC 3-5 March 2006!

Angling Times Advanced Tip Academy
Giant indoor tank elevated to ‘fish eye level’ so spectators can see a fish’s reactions to different techniques.

Sea Angler Learning Zone
A man-made beach at the NEC, featuring Paul Kerry, Alan Yates, Steve Mills and Dave Timms.
