Milwards Matchcraft

Post by MattMinter »

Took the delightful matchcraft for a spin last week, what a lovely rod, this hybrid gave the rod a proper work out on the river. Finally got a Milwards reel to hang on the rod!

Great stuff Matt. an excellent result for a super combination.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Just out of interest Matt is your Matchcraft the 10ft 6" or 12ft version? They are really nice rods and the Milwards Matchcraft reel is the perfect partner!

I forgot to mention a great picture Matt.
