DFX stands for Distance Fishing Xtreme and these are recognised as great casting tools because they have a super-stiff action but feel as though they are forgiving enough to play fish in at close quarters. These two-piece 12ft rods are available in 2. 75lb, 3lb, 3. 25lb and 3.

Avid Carp has once again delivered a high-quality product that is designed around the modern carp angler. The 12000CC reel boasts a revolutionary custom-control drag that puts the user in complete control in just a quarter of a turn from fishing free running to locked up. Other features include a line-friendly sprung line clip, anti-twist roller, lightweight aluminium body and much more. Not only is the reel packed with features but it also comes supplied with two handles; the choice of either a traditional silver handle with a classic wooden knob and a more current black handle with a moulded soft-touch knob.

- A thick, high-attract glug meets a refined hemp powder to enable you to produce a hook bait that literally oozes with enticing flavours. - The two-tier removable pots provide easy-to-use dipping, allowing you to coat your hook baits in the thick powder. - The thick water-soluble glug slowly dissolves, creating a halo of aroma around the hook bait. Price: £8.

The most versatile net that I have owned and been fortunate enough to get wet. The Scope features a telescopic, lockable pole that retracts to a miniscule 44 inches and extends to a useful six feet 10 inches. Having used it to land fish from boats and on the bank when fishing extremely long zigs, this compact net has been perfect for all the fishing scenarios that I have found myself in and lends itself to mobile or static anglers alike.
