Esp Onyx Reels
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
It’s been a little while since I was this excited about a product launch, but finally, after a couple of years of testing, the new ESP reel is here. I’ve seen a little bit of the progress of the Onyx because when out on features with ESP-backed TC contributor Kev Hewitt, he’s been using several prototypes. In fact, I remember being on one particular shoot when he actually had three different reels on his banksticks at once, such was ESP’s desire to make sure they were absolutely spot-on. The result is a reel specifically designed by carp anglers for use in carp fishing – unlike a fair few big-pit reels that hail from the sea/spinning market.

Daiwa Emcast 5000a Big Pit Reel
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
Daiwa is undoubtedly best known for its top-end rods and reels, but there is so much more to the brand than just the wallet-busting stuff, as you’ll see elsewhere in these pages with the Mission DF rods. The Emcast 5000A is another similar example, with a retail price of just £100. Just about every company that makes reels will tell you that the mid to lower-price range products feel like a reel costing twice as much. It’s not always true but in the case of this reel it has never been truer.

Ridgemonkey Hdpe Heavy Duty Water Container
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
Following the popularity of the first release we were quick to see what changes had been made in the newer variations. The tap system has been revised and to make the containers more user friendly when in transit and storage the tap now screws on internally and can be simply screwed on top when you arrive at your swim or need to use the container. The tap also allows more control and results in a fluid water flow, ideal for helping to conserve water when on the bank for longer sessions. Constructed from durable HDPE, these containers are rugged and set to endure plenty of bankside abuse.

Jrc Stealth Bloxx Compact
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
We first came across the Bloxx system last year and were impressed with the speed with which it can be erected, literally one of the quickest around in our experience. The system revolves around a central block with the ribs leading from it. This opens to allow the ribs to splay (it’s simple and the poles never have to be manoeuvred to open them up). The front two poles are then secured under tension and that’s it.

Vass 305 5l Breathablewaders
Total Carp Staff  |  May 11, 2016  |  0 comments
Okay, put the price tag to one side for a moment and focus your attentions on the word breathable. That’s right, these superb waders are as waterproof as you’d expect, but are genuinely breathable, unlike any other booted waders I have ever used. To get this sort of performance you’d usually have to buy a socked wader from one of the top game fishing companies, which then require a further investment in wading boots, which are really not at all convenient for carp anglers. Even after all of that, I doubt you’d find a set to combine that performance with the hard-wearing, robust build of the 305s.

Unlocking another dimension in bait attraction, this highly versatile liquid can be added to boilies, pop-ups, pellets, PVA bags, spod mixes and more; it really is only limited by your imagination. The sticky nature of the bait means it can be applied before you cast out, so you don’t have to prep your bait days or hours before to boost its attraction. Simply unscrew the lid and you can apply a few drops to your chosen hook bait in an instant. Creating a highly visual cloud of attraction, the Lava acts as a feed-enhancing catalyst that can switch the carp into a feeding frenzy.
