Total Carp Staff  |  May 13, 2016  |  0 comments
Solar Tackle Team member Martin Neale has landed the three biggest commons on his Kent syndicate water on the first two sessions using the new TunaMino test bait Following the capture of The Big Common from his Kent syndicate water, the biggest common in the lake, Solar tackle team member Martin headed back to the venue 5 days later, and promptly landed the second and third biggest commons. In two trips, he’s now landed all of the target fish he joined the venue to catch, and he only got his ticket for the lake a few weeks ago. Martin explains: “I went down to the lake on Friday evening after work. Had a look in the Boat House Bay, which is where I landed The Big Common from a few days earlier, but someone was already in there.

Bedchairs & Chairs
Nash Indulgence Recliner Big Daddy Chair
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
If you don’t compromise on comfort, even if you have to pay a relatively princely sum for it, then this chair is going to be right up your street. For starters, the padded mattress not only offers a soft, thick area for seating, but the adjustable lumbar support makes a huge difference to not only the comfort of the chair itself, but how long you’re happy sitting in it. The head/neck rest is an excellent additional touch and not one that I’ve seen on a carpy chair thus far and, of course, the fact that it reclines means you choose your own position. Although available in a standard size, this Big Daddy version is the one for comfort, if you don’t mind the size.

Bivvies, Shelters & Brollies
Avid Carp Hq2 Bivvy
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
I first saw the original HQ when out on features with Avid-backed Ian Russell and, initially, didn’t pay it too much attention. I’ve seen a million and one bivvies so I don’t always notice individual ones at first. However, over time, I grew to be pretty impressed with the ‘twin-skin’ design. This isn’t twin skin as in having a wrap attached; no, it’s what you might call a traditional construction but with an added (it’s removable) fabric inner lining.

Reuben Heaton The Specimen Hunter Classic Scale
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
I’m sure any angler would agree that when it comes to weighing your prize catch you want a reliable set of scales to ensure the highest level of accuracy. I have used Reuben scales for as long as I can remember. Starting off with the entry-level Flyweight Mk2 scales, I have worked my way up to the Specimen Hunter Classic. Brought back into production in 2011, this model boasts the original dial configuration and beta light pointer illumination of the 1988 model.

Shimano Ultegra 14000 Xtd
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
When we heard that the team at Shimano had a new big pit on the market, you can imagine our excitement. Having developed some of the best carp fishing reels over the years, we automatically set the bar high and this new launch has certainly lived up to our expectations. As soon as we opened the box the improved matt black cosmetics stuck out; this timeless finish will be a great addition to any existing setup and is sure to be a firm favourite among the ‘cult anglers’. Moving onto the reel itself, the instant drag is simply a joy to use.

Gardner Gt Hd (15lb)
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
A friend who I carp fish with, and who is as fussy as me when it comes to mono lines, has been using this for a little while and absolutely loves it. So, when it came to reviewing it here, I was keen to find out for myself what it was all about. Another ringing endorsement was that when I spoke to Gardner, I was told that the 15lb had, at the time, completely sold out! Fortunately, we already had a spool in the office. On the rods, the line behaves perfectly, sinking really well, casting as well as you’d expect from a 15lb line and feeling a lot less stretchy than some.

Daiwa Mission Df Rods
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
Imagine being able to use a set of rods from the famed DF stable, but not having to take out a second mortgage to do so. WOW! PROS - GREAT RODS FOR THE MONEY CONS - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! In fact, forget that. Not only do you not need to take out such a loan, in the Mission DF, Daiwa has created a rod that falls well into the budget category. I don’t like that word, budget, because it creates an image of something of substandard quality, but that is so not the case with the Mission DF.

Trakker Nxg Bitz Pouches
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
I first saw these on a trip up to Trakker and was struck by them. They weren’t launched then, but have been now, and they’re well worth checking out. Available in three sizes, each boasts a sturdy construction, webbed carry loop and internal Velcro dividers, which, especially in the two larger sizes, can be moved around to suit your needs. What makes these different, however, is the clear lids and end section.
