The waterproof, non-slip Bivy Top Work Station.

If there’s one thing I hate it’s getting my car muddied up with my fishing tackle, so a boot liner of some description has always been a must. Having tested this one through each of the four seasons, it’s stood up well to the task of keeping my motor relatively clean and tidy. I have what you might call a small estate car, a BMW 3 series, and the Aqua Boot Liner fits it perfectly – you’d be forgiven for thinking that it had been made especially for this model. That leads me to think that it may fall a little short if you own a significantly bigger car.

I have two weaknesses when it comes to carp kit… bobbins and little bags, and these are right up my street. In fact, I use one of these very sacks to keep some of my bobbins in! Available in DPM and plain green, there are three sizes and all of them come in extremely useful whatever you’re trying to store and keep organised. Unlike more rigid luggage or even boxes, they take up very little room and if, like me, you’ve been trying to cut your kit down a bit, they are spot-on. The relatively padded, quilted construction makes for some protection for the contents and a drawstring means they can be closed up if needs be.
