Umbrellas & Brollies – Your Reliable Weather Protection for Match & Feeder Anglers
If you go match or feeder fishing all year round, you know the issue: sudden weather changes are common, and heavy rain or intense sun can quickly dampen the experience. To keep you well protected in any weather and help you stay focused on fishing, umbrellas & brollies are essential equipment. In this category, you'll find a wide selection of high-quality protection systems designed specifically for pole, match, and feeder fishing – tailored to your needs by the water.
Why are umbrellas & brollies so important for match and feeder fishing?
Unlike traditional bank fishing, match and feeder anglers usually stay in one spot for many hours without changing position. A sturdy fishing umbrella or brolly not only shields you from rain and wind but also provides shade and comfort, especially during long sessions. It also protects sensitive equipment like bait, rigs, and hook baits from the elements.
Benefits of a high-quality match fishing umbrella:
- Protection from rain, sun, and wind – stay dry and cool regardless of the weather.
- Increased comfort – enjoy fishing even during long hours.
- Protection for your gear – bait and accessories stay dry and within reach.
- Flexibility – many models can be angled or set up completely as side wall solutions.

Depending on usage and weather conditions, different systems are suitable. Here's an overview:
