Jrc Stealth X Lite Bedchair Cover
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 27, 2015  |  0 comments
Spring is often a tricky time of year when a five-season sleeping bag can be too much but, equally, a three-season bag just doesn’t cut it. Well, to accompany the ever-popular Stealth X-Lite bedchair, the team at JRC have been busy getting this new bedchair cover to market ready for spring. With a water-resistant outer layer the bedchair cover is perfect for spending a night under the stars without the risk of waking up drenched thanks to the rain or early morning dew. Internally, the cover benefits from a warm micro-fleece lining to ensure the heat produced within stays within, keeping the user warmer for longer.

Bait
Nash Tg Active Range
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 27, 2015  |  0 comments
No-one can question the bait authority that’s Gary Bayes, so when we heard that Nash was developing a bait that has been adjusted, tweaked and played with over the last six years by the man himself we were dying to have a look. The reason so much time and resources have been used in creating this bait is because of the pure research that has gone in to natural ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals and the essential trace elements. With a blend of over 40 spices and a dozen essential oils, this bait has been carefully constructed utilising puréed and pre-blended elements of which some have been time aged for up to two months to create the highest, most desirable feeding response. I’m sure that as you are reading this you’re thinking: “So what’s actually in it?” Well, high-quality krill, squid meal and soluble fish proteins have been used to create not only a rich nutritional profile but a formula that will produce results as a fully digestible bait all year round.

Gardner Point Doctors
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 27, 2015  |  0 comments
TC reader Aaron Lends says: There’s no shying away from the recent trend for hook sharpening, but in all honesty I wasn’t that sold because I don’t expect to buy a packet of hooks and then sit there sharpening them; it just doesn’t make sense to me. Well that was until I received the original Point Doctor and the Point Dr 2 from the guys at TC. I found that with these very forgiving instruments I didn’t have to create a new needle-sharp point allowing me one fish a hook, but they are fantastic at touching up hooks that I had already had takes on, thus prolonging their life. I start with the much coarser Point Dr 2 (the red one), which takes a fine layer of hook coating off with every swipe.

Esp Leadcore Stop Beads And Chod Rig Sleeves
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 27, 2015  |  0 comments
Although there are so many alternatives these days, I must admit to still being a fan of leadcore. I don’t honestly think that using it has ever cost me a bite, so I’m in no rush to switch. There has always been an issue with safely setting up a helicopter rig so that the top bead is secure enough on the cast but will release the hook link in the event of a breakage. The Leadcore Stop Beads are designed specifically with this purpose in mind and they work brilliantly.

Proper Job Pop Ups Fishy Peach
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 27, 2015  |  0 comments
A firm favourite of our editor, Proper Job Pop-Ups are well used by many tip anglers. They’re extremely buoyant and contain proper attractors and additives, not just a pop-up mix and synthetic flavour. Kevin at Proper Job told us that this new one has the most ingredients he has ever put into a bait, which must really be saying something. He showed us the list and it is mightily impressive – these are no normal baits!We were sent three sample pots, in white, washed-out pink and washed-out camou brown, each in mixed shapes and sizes.

Esp Five Rod Quiver And Sleeve
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 17, 2015  |  0 comments
The new rod transportation system from ESP is as practical as it is protective. Utilising durable and hard-wearing materials, the system is both lightweight and compact without compromising on its strength or capacity. The quiver features a spacious pocket for the rod butt, which offers protection along the blank up to the reel seat, and the tip of the rod is secured via a Velcro/webbing strap. A chunky and durable zip allows easy access to the accommodating central compartment that is perfectly designed for a bulkier shelter, as opposed to the traditional quivers only taking thin, small, umbrella-like shelters.

Total Carp Staff  |  Mar 09, 2015  |  0 comments
Last month we looked in detail at the complete system available from Cyprinus, well here we will be solely focusing on the space-saving brolly variation. Utilising the new and improved Hydro-Tec material, which has been proven to resist water with a hydrostatic head of over 1,0000mm, the Magnetix is among the most waterproof and weather-resistant shelters in its price range. With a more efficient, compact, space-saving device, the eight-rib design offers oodles of room and, more specifically, valuable headroom within the 60in frame. With upgraded, black, powder-coated poles, the Magnetix looks as good as it sounds.
