Tip Of The Month A Splash Of Colour
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 11, 2017  |  0 comments
Tip Of The Month Although this tip may seem a bit simple, it still astounds me the amount of anglers that we meet on the bank who are yet to carry a selection of bait colours. Now that is fine when the fish are feeding heavily on bait, but when bites are hard to come by I think it is the simplest way to adapt your approach. It is not ground-breaking, yet it does make a difference. Whether you opt for artificial baits such as foam, plastic baits or prefer traditional hook baits such as a boilies, corn or even bread, the pulling power of a bright bait cannot go unnoticed.

7 TIPS FOR YOUR BEST WINTER YET Consistent carp catcher CRAIG MORTIMER reveals his seven top tips that help him maintain his form through the toughest season of them all. Zigging For years zigging was considered a summer method.

Well forget all that and pick up your zig gear because now is the real time to capitalise.

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.

Aqua Products Roving Unhooking Mat And Compact Weigh Sling
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 16, 2016  |  First Published: Dec 15, 2016  |  0 comments
Travelling light has always been deemed as an aspect for river anglers or dedicated bank crawlers awaiting a stalking opportunity, well I think this is as far from the truth as it could be. Of course, it is more essential for such anglers but, no matter where you fish, what you fish for, or how long your next session is, the lighter you are, the more mobile and adaptable you can be and it’s better to be prepared than not. Carp care is paramount whether you travel light or take everything including the kitchen sink. As part of the established Atom Concept range, this lightweight unhooking mat provides a compact fish-care solution utilising the best materials available.

Fortis Vista Sunglasses
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 16, 2016  |  First Published: Dec 15, 2016  |  0 comments
Fortis was the first company to launch polarised glasses to carp anglers but with fashionable frames and at a price that we could all afford. The top-of-the-range Vistas take the brand into a different bracket, with genuinely advanced glasses more with function than simply form in mind. The lenses offer near-unrivalled clarity thanks to their thinner construction. Essentially, thinner lenses equal less distortion and it’s only when you compare these against your current, probably cheaper, glasses that you see the difference.
