The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Everything you could possibly need to sharpen hooks to pinpoint sharpness, something that is extremely important for ultra rig efficiency and that can be the difference between hooking a fish or not. The kit comprises two stone files plus handle, one diamond file, an innovative deluxe hand vice, an LED magnifier and comes supplied in a high-quality case that gives additional storage space for items such as hooks, needles, grease and so on. LEE JACKSON’s VERDICT -“If you’re into hook sharpening then get one. If you’re not, then you should be!” 8/10 £59.

Incredibly, he also landed mirrors of 36lb+ and an upper twenty in an overnighter on the Weasmere syndicate using the new TunaMino boilies. 36lb Ignace explains: “I knew from my previous trips that some fish were holding up in a particular area of the lake, and I’d done well in this area on the previous session. So, the plan was to get back in to the same swim as soon as possible before the other anglers heard about the captures and beat me to it. “When I arrived at the lake the weather was terrible.

The Key Cray has been behind the scenes for around 18 months now and a select few of us have been lucky enough to use it through its progression stages. Although the earlier mixes were producing some amazing results the bait has only recently entered its final stages. The Key Cray is very unique as its the first time cray meal has been introduced to a bait using the whole crayfish. As such, it was a case of Kevin Nash meeting with the appropriate body, DEFRA, to discuss the relevant licencing because you were not allowed to introduce crayfish into an aquatic environment.

Dovetail Games Euro Fishing was proud to sponsor this year’s Young British Carp Anglers Championships (BYCAC) which was held on Oxlease Lake on the Linear Fishery Complex. The decision to sponsor this event is part of our ongoing commitment to support the angling industry, particularly the youth side that are just starting out in their fishing journeys! Attending the final of the BYCAC was a fantastic occasion and whilst it was no doubt a serious competition, it was great to see how friendly the atmosphere was between the anglers competing and their friends and family who were there supporting them. After being so impressed, we made the decision to sponsor three anglers and would love to introduce them to you! First up is Liam Morgan who at 17 is the oldest of the three anglers. Liam was taking part in the BYCAC for the final time and managed to finish 2nd overall for the 2nd time in a row and this was his 3rd time on the podium! Clearly, he is a very talented angler who has a very bright future ahead of him! Liam is sponsored by Korda and Dynamite Baits with a personal best fish of 42lb 12oz (mirror carp) which was incidentally caught during last year’s final! His favourite venue is the Linear complex and his favourite method is fishing over particles.
