Cygnet Tackle is fast becoming recognised as an authoritative figure in bankware, but what was missing? Bite indication. Well, after plenty of persuasion, Cygnet has finally revealed its plans to bring a range of bite indication products to the market with Mark Walters, the man behind the famous and prestigious Muddy Waters range. The Clingas are available in a multitude of sizes to suit each angler’s preference and, of course, individual fishing scenarios. From the ultra-sensitive and lightweight Old Skool variety, which scores exceptionally well with slack-line anglers and anyone in the ‘Carpy’ fraternity, moving up in size is the still small but superb Clinga Lite, an all-rounder for the majority of fishing, and the Dumpy Clinga, two of the most popular versions you will see gracing the bank.

Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a Gordon Ramsey or you just enjoy a nice brew, a stove is an essential item of kit when it comes to fishing for any length of time. Trakker has long been recognised as one of the best manufacturers of cooking and outdoor-shelter supplies and this product is no exception. Weighing in at 381g and measuring just a minimal 9 x 9. 5 centimetres, this lightweight and compact design unfolds to present the user with a wide-framed stove of which its low centre of gravity makes it the ideal, stable platform for cooking safely and efficiently.

This bedchair is easily as comfortable as all my previous bedchairs and I would go as far as saying perhaps even comfier, thanks to the memory foam mattress My only criticism is that it can get a little too warm for my liking in hot stuffy conditions, but at the end of the day what bed doesn’t? I love the fact that it is symmetrical, meaning I can sleep with my head at either end with no problem and the oversized mattress actually allows me to use the whole of the bed instead of being confined to the inside of the frame. This also prevents my elbows banging on the bars and makes for a comfy seat when you perch on the side. looking out over the lake or tying rigs and what not. The completely flat profile makes for a sound night’s sleep; it not only feels better but has done wonders for my posture, although I do now have to carry a pillow, but that’s no real hardship.
