Lee Jackson says: The idea for this seat originated from a seat that The Tackle Box proprietor Gary Peet brought back from a fishing trip at least 18 years ago, when he saw an angler using it and bought it off him. We liked the idea, it was light, compact and very functional, and when we showed it to Kevin Nash he then developed a carp angler’s version that was available for a few years. Following on from the Nash seat being unavailable for a number of years, our TB Guesti Seat is now available. Lightweight, comfortable and easily stored away inside a bedchair, it gives excellent back support when sitting sideways on a bedchair or directly on the floor/bank, it can be used as a guest seat for visitors, a boat seat or as a stalking seat.

Designed after the huge success of RidgeMonkey’s Action Station, these new adaptors are made with alternative uses in mind. The first will hold an action camera (GoPro and so on) and either screw into a bankstick or attach to the Action Station clamp (depending on which model you go for). The second one, my favourite, houses the RidgeMonkey bivvy light and, again, allows attachment to a bankstick or bivvy frame via the clamp. This opens up a world of uses for the light, some of which we are already experimenting with.

UK Exclusive First Review! The improved version of Prologic’s Frame-X bivvy, I first got a glimpse of the X1 at Carp In The Park, but then more recently I saw it properly while out on the 7 Top Tips shoot with Prologic-backed Rik Johnson this month. I was immediately impressed by how quickly the innovative X-Frame design allowed Rik to set it up, literally a few seconds, even quicker than a pram-hood design. Once up, it was also absolutely drum tight and extremely solid. Even my efforts to shake the life out of it saw the X1 barely yield an inch.
