The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: These 2ft-long sections are designed to fit the middle of the rod to make casting and landing fish easier when using a long-hook-link-type zig rig. Additionally, they can be used to extend ‘reach’ from the bank when fishing close in to the left or right of the swim, extending the rod upwards when using a beachcaster-type rig or potentially increasing casting distance. At present they are available for most of the Free Spirit Hi-‘S’ and ‘S’ range carp rods, with versions in the pipeline for the ‘E’ Class and CTX models. £34.

I recall raking swims in my really early days when targeting tench and I have to admit that you don’t often see it happening nowadays. Well I for one am going to start again, probably from a boat for ease. This could be a devastating tactic in the edge under bushes or in the largest weed bed you can find. Unlike my shed-made contraption, these are handmade and specifically designed for the job in hand.

Bivvy lights are not new in carp fishing. Lanterns, lamps and bivvy lights have been around for an age but this is definitely the next step in bivvy illumination evolution. With features including three intensity settings and two flash settings, the battery life offers 10 hours and it can simply be recharged from the micro USB port. The Sneeka Lite can be fixed to any brolly spoke, storm pole or other small, rigid structure via the supplied system, allowing you to save room and maximise your light efficiently.

Kiss all those half-empty pots of pop-ups that rattle around in your tackle bag goodbye because RidgeMonkey has the perfect solution. Designed as a tower system, the supplied zip carry case in either black or green houses all four 150ml hook-bait pots at once. Each contains a totally removable glug cage allowing you to drain off excess liquid before you select your hook bait and attach it to your rig. With a leakproof seal, this is a trusted design that will not let you down.

You might have seen this handy little product being bandied around over social media lately but for those of you who haven’t, what exactly is it? To be used in conjunction with the seperate 17-litre, olive, square container, the inner bucket complete with drainage holes has its own handle. So imagine you want to soak your particles, wash out your boilies, or perhaps you have arrived at the lake with your spod mix full of all the liquid goodness you added along the way. When it comes to spodding this can very easily become messy and water adds a huge weight to whatever baiting device you are casting, of course. Well now you can simply lift the inner bucket to begin the draining process and by turning the bucket it will safely sit on the edge of the large outer container, which will catch all that important liquid, leaving you a dryer and easy bait to handle – less mess, less fuss.

Like a standard inflatable but better, the Airmat is one of the biggest selling points because it reduces any disturbance you make while in the boat and helps to protect your quarry once returning to the bank. Another ingenious design feature is the raised bow, which allows you to gain maximum efficiency with a trolling motor. As the name suggests, the boat is a generous 160 centimetres long, perfect for one man and his kit, especially with a loading capacity of 160kg. Supplied with sliding seat, folding lightweight aluminium oars, power pump for inflating and deflating as well as a transport bag and puncture repair set.

When a rod pod is too much but banksticks simply won’t do, what you need is the Specialist tripod. It houses three fully adjustable legs that extend from 30 to 58 centimetres but will also accommodate the outer section of any Cygnet Specialist storm poles for a much greater level of elevation. Weighing a very modest 400g this is a ridiculously lightweight product that’s been designed with stability and versatility firmly in mind. This is the perfect item for either fishing on hard surfaces, roving situations and offers you the ability to take awesome self-take shots with the addition of a camera adaptor.

The duo adaptor features a bankstick thread and simple adaptor, allowing you to use the RidgeMonkey Bivvy Lite out on the bank to help illuminate your own self-take catch shots, or even if you fancy shedding some light on the social. Following the popularity of the GoPro buzz they also have an attachment for this too; you are guaranteed to get the perfect angle when returning fish or for whatever carpy video you are looking to record. The Bivvy Lite has had a great reception and if like me you have managed to lose the metal plate do not panic, you can now seamlessly attach these to the ribs of your bivvy or brolly by another simple little clamp it has on offer. (DM) £7.

The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: An excellent bit of kit for keeping the chill off on those cold winter nights. The 1,000W adjustable burner is housed in a protective cage for safety purposes and is best run on a 500-size low-pressure gas cartridge that screws in the bottom. It’s designed to be used in a well-ventilated space, therefore a bit of care and caution obviously has to be taken on where it is placed to warm up a bivvy to avoid accidents. I’ve used one of these when the temperature has been well below freezing outside, a little tip being to stand the gas cartridge in a metal container with hot water in it to warm the gas inside and make the burner burn more efficiently.

A key part of fishing is fishing accurately. Whether it's making sure that a rig lands out on the same spot time after time or bait application using a spod or marker float lands in the right area. The NGT Distance sticks make this possible. By placing the two distance sticks 12ft apart with the cord that comes in the case, you can accurately clip your rods up to the distance required and hit the same spot time after time.

Fox HALO LT-136£27. 50This style is a little dated compared with some these days, but it remains an exceptional light when that’s all you want it to be. The output is impressive and, although some prefer a rechargeable light compared to one that works from batteries, if ever you are caught short and it runs out, at least you can usually get your hands on some batteries. There isn’t very likely to be a plug socket in your swim!The upright style lends itself to being sat on a bivvy table or suchlike, while there is an easy to use carbiner-style hanging loop.
