The nice people at Wychwood are celebrating the success of their latest rods and reels with an awesome comp that will see three people walk away with a pair of rods and reels in this month’s competition. The total prize package is in excess of £1,300 but what do you win? 

Well, first up you’ll receive a pair of awesome Wychwood C-301 rods in 3.25lb test curve. These flagship rods carry an RRP of £149.99 each and feature 50mm butt rings, a full cork handle, Sea Guide custom-spaced guides, plus a carbon line clip and a tasty carbon weave along the whole length of the blank. With Japanese-sourced carbon construction, these rods are the ideal mix of power low down for big leads and bag work, but with a forgiving tip to allow you to avoid hook pulls close-in. In short, they perform and look the nuts!

To accompany the rods, each winner with receive a pair of the ultra-carpy Wychwood Riot Big Pit 75S reels – proper workhorses that look sexy in an all-black finish. Adorned with a wooden handle, these reels have a sensitive front drag, 5+1 bearings, plus enough winding power to make sure that whatever you’re pulling against, you win every time! These reels are supplied with two spools; one being a standard deep affair that also features the ACS line clip (which unclip automatically if a running fish hits the clip), and the other being a shallow, all-black tapered spool that’s perfect for lighter lines and braid. There’s even a braid-friendly line clip!

This is the exact kit that Wychwood’s team of ‘elite’ anglers – Jon Mac, Nigel Sharp and Nick Helleur – use in their day-to-day fishing so even if you’re not fishing some uber-tricksy waters, you can fish safe in the knowledge that this is pro-spec kit.
