On The Flyer TV‘s Winter Classic has become one of the biggest competitions in the match fishing calendar. The competition has been run over the past three years, allowing anglers to win the eye-catching £10,000 first-place prize. The competition, which Gary Rodgers organises, has been a massive hit and a welcome addition to the yearly match scene.
Earlier this year, On The Flyer TV announced a new competition called the Winter Commerical Challenger Cup will run alongside the silvers-only event. The new competition will use the same format as the Winter Classic, but the big difference is that carp and F1s will now count.
28 qualifiers will run in total across some of the best commercial venues in the country, beginning on Sunday, 22nd September at Tunnel Barn Farm. Each qualifying match will have between 20 and 24 anglers split between two sections. The winner of each section will qualify to take part in the final which will take place on Sunday, 2nd March 2025.
