2010 , 3-7 November

Hosted by EFSA Wales AS ANY F 1 DRIVER WILL TELL YOU... THE LATER YOU BRAKE, THE FASTER YOU'LL GO.

INTELLIGENT MAGNETIC BRAKING

There's braking, then there's breaking the mould.

As the name suggests, the 7HT MAG incorporates automatic magnetic PR OUD TO SUPPOR braking to provide a superior degree of control to your casting. T THE We call this the ‘Magnofuge’ magnetic braking system and unlike 20 other mag reels on the market we have integrated 'intelligence' into its 10 design. It remains inactive until the split second your spool hits the revs. (All 30,000rpm of them in tests.) EUROPEAN This is achieved by allowing the spool to freely reach its almost SHORE FISHING instant maximum speed before centrifugal force activates the extending CHAMPIONSHIPS and receding magnetic conductor. You get your distance, with control, but proportionate to the spool speed the system automatically reduces the magnetic drag thus allowing the spool to remain spinning for longer. No other reel can do this. Result - greater distance and better control. The Daiwa Millionaire 7HT MAG, a multiplier that breaks the mould. The world’s biggest specialist.

Product featured is the Daiwa Millionaire 7HT MAG RRP £245.00 daiwasports.co.uk European Shore Fishing Championships Pwllheli 2010

I am really looking forward to a good we held them in Tenby, the first close competition as was the case the last time when our Dutch friend time. Frank Koop won the title with his compatriots, though he wasn’t in the team, taking the International title narrowly from the home Welsh boys. Hopefully, the fishing will be This time I hope it will be a Welsh angler on home soil as it was in better than last time when we Pembrokeshire in 2003 when our own ex World Champion, Jimmy Jones, were seriously becalmed on the took the individual title. However, our friends from the Netherlands did first two days, unusual for get the Gold & Silver in the International team event that year.

Despite that, the competition was strong, as no It only leaves me to wish you all good fishing, friendly competition and doubt it will be this time and once good fun. again, I’m sure and the best teams and individual anglers will come out on top, lightning doesn’t strike twice does it?
