The new generations are fascinated by spinning, carp fishing, surf-casting but often forget that the mother of all fishing is one and only: the fixed rod. Unfortunately, either for fashion or because it is more complex than other techniques for those who are beginners, the fixed rod has been supplanted in favor of pureed fishing with the Bolognese, from match...
