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.

Imagine having a bivvy light that you can recharge but which also doubles up as a power bank for your portable devices… erm, well that’s what this is. The LMP10AH4 Waterproof Rechargeable Lamp And Power Bank, to give it its full title, features a USB2 input for charging with any similar lead, the likes of which are about these days, as well as a USB outlet for passing on that charge to phones and the like while in transit. The light itself has four settings, the dimmest of which is ideal for ambient bivvy light, whereas the strongest will help you read even the smallest print in a book. It holds a significant charge once fully juiced up and this lasts a very long time, still having enough to fully charge an iPhone even after a few days on the bank.

Following the success of the original Tournos 8000, Sonik has introduced a new version, this time with a free-spool facility. In keeping with modern trends, the FS retains its black finish, chunky bail arm and minimalist design. The free-spool lever and adjust knob are not overly obtrusive, yet remain accessible and easy to engage. The free spool disengages with no more than a third of a turn of the handle, which is essential when taking on your battle with the carp.

This month’s blog is a venue report on a local day-ticket park lake known as The Ressers. It is only a small water at approximately four acres. It has two small islands and depths from two to nine feet. The maximum cast is around 50 yards, so no matter where you fish it isn’t a big cast.

With spending half of my week in the Bath area, and not wanting to miss an opportunity of wetting a line, I have become a member of the Bathampton Angling Association (BAA), a ticket offering a host of waters for various fishing capabilities. The collective of lakes were previously known as The Hunstrete Complex but were officially renamed as The Dave Crooks Fishery at Hunstrete (The Dave Crookes Fishery) in January 2014. This was to recognise the tremendous work done by Dave over many years since joining the committee in 1971 and then becoming general secretary in 1980. Sadly, ill health finally took its toll and Dave passed away in December 2015; he is greatly missed by many at the club.

I have been using the Fox Rangemaster carbon throwing stick for just over a year and it’s excellent. Before I bought it I had a rather heavy plastic throwing stick, which was an absolute pain! I could only put out 1kg at most! Even then I’d end up with an aching arm the next day. Plus, when fishing heavily stocked venues with big fish in, a kilo can be cleared in minutes. Since switching to a much lighter carbon stick baiting up is much easier, mainly because it’s so light.
