A net is a net, surely? Well that was the premise I have always worked on; if it is big enough for the carp I am happy to use it. With that said, I took the accompanying net to my Terry Hearn Distance rods out for a play and it changed my attitude.
Firstly, the aesthetics are awesome and it sits beside my rod setup seamlessly. However, let’s get it right, it’s not all about looks and it’s a personal thing whether you like its understated minimal looks, so I will leave that up to you to decide.
With the nights and early mornings now turning a little brisk, it’s the perfect time to stock up on warm and comfortable clothing for any brief spells of inactivity and the new items from Chub are just what you need.
Starting with the trendy and ever-practical Quilted Bodywarmer, the garment is finished in a very tasteful and minimal olive green, perfect for down the shops as well as time spent on the bank. Constructed utilising 100 per cent polyester and available from medium all the way through to XXXL, each garment also boasts an adjustable waist ensuring a comfortable and very well fitted item of clothing no matter what size you are. The bodywarmer is filled with the ever-efficient and effective Thermatex 300 insulation, keeping you warm and comfortable whether you are watching the water or pushing the barrow around the lake.
This year has seen the rise of the mobile angler, creeping around urban settings, catching the bus or just in a bid to travel light and keep on the move.
Well Kodex have answered back with this tidy four-piece compact rod.
With a test curve of 3lb it is ample for the majority of fishing situations you will be faced with and will deal with the rigours of modern carp angling thanks to the quality of fittings used throughout. Breaking down to a minimal 42 inches, the rod can be transported with ease and set up to a 9ft length or with the extra section a wholesome 10ft.

The Fast & Light brolly has been hugely popular with its initial target angler, the guy who travels extra light and doesn’t want the hassle of having to carry a full-blown system around. Groundsheet, infill panel and any additional extras mean burdensome loads to these guys.
However, the brolly is so good that lots of other anglers took a shine to it – those fishing slightly longer session and wanting a little but more from their shelter.
So, by popular demand, Aqua introduced these wraps to create more significant coverage for those who want it.
