Shimano Sport Camera
Total Carp Staff  |  Oct 08, 2014  |  0 comments
Although Shimano is keen to avoid comparisons with GoPro, the new Sport Camera is an obvious competitor for the market-leading video camera, which I was told recently was now the biggest-selling camera worldwide. If Shimano can take some of this market away from GoPro I imagine they’ll be very happy indeed. More importantly, from what I have seen so far, it certainly could do so. Much more compact than a GoPro (sorry, I did it again) the Shimano camera was first launched for the cycling market.

Avid Transfer Pva Bags
Total Carp Staff  |  Oct 06, 2014  |  0 comments
When compiling this month’s ‘Essentials’ feature I was drawn to explain my choice of solid bags to one of the TC team. I happily use two or three brands, but I have found these Avid bags to be my favourites. The PVA itself is strong and the seams are extremely reliable. I have yet to have one of these bags break on me, which has definitely not been the case with some other bags I have used in the past.

Global company Zebco, who’s brands include huge angling tackle manufacturer Browning, has today confirmed it’s purchase of Preston Innovations, the parent company of growing carp brand Avid. The terms of the deal have not been confirmed but sources believe that the figure could be as high as £18million. What the purchase will mean for the carp brand itself, which has taken the UK and European market by storm in the last couple of years, is not yet known. Avid, which boasts Ian Russell among its front-line angler team, will continue to trade and develop products as Zebco plans for the future of this and its other carp brand, Radical.

We attended the annual Nash Trade show at its headquarters today. As usual the company had plenty to show us and there were some real jewels among its new roster of products. Firstly, the Double Top Apex bivvy has been causing quite a stir on social media with its interesting shape and features. Like the double tops of recent years it has a lot to offer the angler that wants to be comfortable on the bank no matter the weather.

Mainline Liquids

Much is written about Mainline’s legendary boilies, including such greats as Grange, Activ-8 and, currently, Cell, which have dominated waters for many years. However, browse the Essex-based company’s website and you will see that there is so much more to the Mainline range than just boilies. One area where there is a huge selection of bait-boosting products is liquids. One of my personal favourites is Hempseed Oil.

Cygnet Tackle Easy Lift Weigh Bar
Total Carp Staff  |  Sep 29, 2014  |  0 comments
TC reader Greg Pittam says: "I don’t fish waters with any really big carp in but holding dial scales with my thumb, even on double-figure carp, is still a bit of a pain. This problem has been solved with the use of this weigh bar and now weighing carp of any size is a doddle. "There are chunky foam-type handles for comfort and the karabina-type clip secures the scales in place. "Lifting the carp and sling is now effortless and I get no shaking anymore, so it’s also easier to get a correct reading.
