    Spring Bank Holiday Smoothhound Challenge
    North Wales has long been established as a venue for smoothhound, with Holyhead being the mecca for those wanting to catch big double figure hounds in the area.

    Fishing for smoothies in waters relatively shallow at only 45’ can be a very exhilarating experience. Hounds first move in for us during early May, and hang around until mid-July. These fish often hit well into double figures with many in the high teens. In the last few years we have landed 11 smoothhound over the 20lb mark, including two at 25lb.

    During the Spring Bank Holiday, Monday 30th May 2011, we are running a normal smoothhound only trip, with the slight twist that if you catch the heaviest, (weighed in our purpose made sling) you will be rewarded with a new rod & reel.

    The rod & reel up for grabs is a Fladen Super Senor multi tip rod combined perfectly with a Fladen 444 multiplier reel. Personally I would say that the Fladen Super Sensor rods are probably one of, if not the best rod Fladen produce. With 3 varying strength tips and its extremely sensitive nature, the rod is a useful addition to the armoury of any angler wanting to catch those elusive small species in our waters. However these rods are equally at home landing the 20lb+ smoothhounds seen in Holyhead, this set up with a hard fighting opponent on the business end, offers an exhilarating angling experience.
