Berkley Gulp! 8mm Baits
Total Carp Staff  |  Feb 15, 2013  |  0 comments
As a regular user of PVA bags, I jumped at the chance to test these tiny baits. However, their size and relatively soft nature make them extremely difficult to use on hair rigs. Even the tiniest needles have to be used incredibly carefully to stop the baits splitting and threading them over the knot on a hair loop is extremely frustrating. Once this is combated, however, the colour and smell do combine well and I have caught fish on the Tuna & Spice version in conjunction with tiny bags of 3mm and 5mm pellets.

Bite Alarms & Indicators
Fox Micron Ntxr Alarms And Ntx Receiver
Total Carp Staff  |  Feb 15, 2013  |  0 comments
As a huge fan of the old RX Digital, an iconic alarm that Fox produced 10 or so years ago, I went off Fox alarms when they started to produce much smaller and comparatively complicated units. After such faux pas as the EOS, Fox has burst back to the top with its current Micron ranges, in particular the NXr and the range-topping NTXr. The slightly larger head looks much better – how a Fox alarm should look, in my opinion. Although I rarely venture far from my rods, the water I often fish is surrounded by trees, so a strong signal is needed even if I am just sharing a brew with a mate in the next swim.

Aqua Products Atom Bivvy
Total Carp Staff  |  Feb 15, 2013  |  0 comments
The first thing that struck us about the Atom is how small it is. It is perfect for the angler who doesn’t want to take too much bulky gear but wants to remain dry. It comfortably fits a standard bedchair with enough room to store your luggage. The footprint is tiny so you won’t have any problem fitting it into tight swims.
