mate i have only fished one match but some one put on here a while ago and i cant remember who it was but they put" the fish dont care what the make is they only care about the last 3 inch of the line "

have a look in the social match section, you have nothing to worry about honestly, some of the members dont have poles for a start, not saying that you should have one,

how about joining a local club that jun their own matches? club matches tend to be less competitive than open matches and attract a wider range of anglers with various skill levels

I've been a beginner for the last 10 years lol i had a pole once an old browning one that weighed the same as a scaffold pole all i could do with it was make mono nylon doilies with it lol.
My rods are firstly my favourite Called moby dick which is 9 years old and cost me £15.00 lol my other rod for river barbel fishing cost me £40.00 and my carp outfit cost me about £90.00 for the lot, it doesn't matter how much it costs it's enjoying being out on the bank with a few mates or just the wonders of nature.
Our social Fun matches are in various parts of yorkshire we try and do at least one in each riding north, south, East and west and if we have a space free anyone is welcome to come along to learn what the others do so get in there mate best regards Malc.

When I fished it I had a 5 quid box from car boot 15 quid rod 10 quid reel

I think fishing is all about confidence. It seems your happy with what you got and are comfortable using it, so just go and have fun!

Dont woory about the tackle mate. Just turn up and have a good time. You don't need to have a pole.
