GREAT VALUE! This abbreviated-handle variation of Wychwood’s hugely popular 101 series of rods is available in a limited run and only for a certain period of time. Once they’re gone that’s it, so I guess they are a limited edition carp rod, and all for under £60 each. As with the C-101 and D-101, with their cork and Duplon handles, respectively (see what they’ve done there?) they boast extremely impressive blanks for a carp rod in this price range. Never has a carp rod represented more obviously the boundaries that are constantly being pushed in this ‘budget’ price bracket and the results are extremely impressive.

Many modern carp anglers look for ease of use in a product, and why not? With limited time on the bank you don’t want to waste it setting things up when you could be looking for fish or getting those rods in the water. This is why brollies have come back in fashion, but they aren’t very good when used as a long-term session shelter. Bridging the gap between convenience, ease of use and unrivalled weather protection, the XTI Supadome was born. Erected in no time via a push brolly-type system, the Supadome provides a large internal footprint capable of housing all your tackle, food and more while out on the bank.

Pop-up rigs have sprung up in popularity over the last few years, igniting a need for extremely buoyant yet highly attractive pop-up hook baits. Well how about 12mm hook baits that offer enough buoyancy without a cork ball insight? Sounds interesting right? The new range from Blakes Baits is exactly that. It’s available in a wide array of flavours, including Fruit Poptail, Pukka Pear – which is one of my favourites – Aniseed Dream and Nut-Mix Scopex & Peach, to name but a few. Designed for use with chod rigs, stiff hinged presentations, multi rigs and more, they have been tested and proven to hold a size 4 hook up for eight days, at which point the team were satisfied and called it a day.
