Thread: long poles

3GD,

It is all tackle. The European champs is second only to the world champs in importance, so they bring everything but the kitchen sink. Also, the matches are only three hours long, so you have to have everything close to hand. It's similar to bass tourneys where the angler will have seven or eight rods and reels rigged at his feet.

By the way, the "bream" they mention in the link is not the fish were talking about on this board. It's a completely different fish.
