Fireblood 16m Impresses in Pole Fishing magazine review
Our venue of choice for this month’s epic battle, Manor Farm Leisure near Evesham, has a reputation for massive weights, so we were confident of pole-bending action and a thorough pole workout. We decided to sit on pegs 19 and 21 on Ash Pool and, although the weather was cold, we both felt confident of snaring a few.
With Jon having the more expensive pole last month, this time it was my turn and I was given the Shimano Fireblood to put through its paces. The first thing that struck me was how understated the graphics are, which I quite liked.

Dave Levy joins the Tribe
Carp angler Dave Levy has recently joined Shimano as part of Team Tribal. A highly respected big fish angler, Dave started fishing at the age of 6, and has a wealth of experience. Dave has landed 30 plus pounders from no less than twenty different waters, which includes seven 40lb fish, and a 50 plus mirror. Dave also works full time so has managed to fit the capture of each of these fish in and around his working life which is testament to his angling ability.
Dave will no doubt continue to be a leading face in the Carp market and will assist Shimano in the further development of its’ Tribal specimen range.
Dave commented “I'm very happy to be joining Shimano. Having been a big fan of their reels ever since the late 80’s when their Baitrunner took the carp world by storm, I’m really looking forward to being involved with the company”.
