Like a standard inflatable but better, the Airmat is one of the biggest selling points because it reduces any disturbance you make while in the boat and helps to protect your quarry once returning to the bank. Another ingenious design feature is the raised bow, which allows you to gain maximum efficiency with a trolling motor. As the name suggests, the boat is a generous 160 centimetres long, perfect for one man and his kit, especially with a loading capacity of 160kg. Supplied with sliding seat, folding lightweight aluminium oars, power pump for inflating and deflating as well as a transport bag and puncture repair set.

Total Carp Reader Carl Peake says: I was pleasantly surprised when I received this little bundle of Cling-On items and have so far enjoyed using them. . . well, most of them at least.
The brilliant Deliverance Ball Maker is now available in a larger, 60mm size, to add to the current 20mm and 30mm versions. They’re ideal for creating compact balls of groundbait or similar mixes, which can then be easily fed into the swim. Extremely easy to use and very consistent, these are a firm favourite with the TC team. RRP: £11.
We featured the H-Gun Elevator in our Buyer’s Guide to unhooking mats in the February issue and were impressed with its combination of protection, ease of use and value. This newer Deluxe version is essentially the same model but offers larger dimensions to cope with carp in excess of 40lb. Don’t worry if you target smaller carp than that because an unhooking mat can only ever be too small, it can never be too big. Easy to erect, the Elevator folds up and down in seconds and offers total protection to the carp while being unhooked and made ready for those all-important trophy shots.
Carp-care kit that includes Medi Carp Ultra solution, cloth and swabs, all housed in a dedicated pouch. Don’t go fishing without one!£11. 99FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TOwww. nashtackle.
This neat little pouch, with four internal, clear-lid pouches, is ideal for storing different types of leads. I keep one in the boot of my car when fishing and use it as a spare reservoir of leads, if you like. I only take half a dozen or so to my swim, but I know that I always have spare leads of different style and size there if I need them. It’s become one of those essential items, so I’d happily recommend it, although £23 is quite a lot for leads bag.
With six products among the newly launched Nash PVA range, we managed to get our hands on a few to see if they are as good as we had heard.
First is the Webcast PVA. Priced at £7. 99 for seven metres and supplied in a shorter bait-bucket-friendly dispenser complete with plunger, we felt this was great value for money.
Another neat idea from Nash and designed to use for pouring water over carp while on the mat. It collapses away in between use, which is handy, although I do have real problems getting the toggles undone sometimes and feel that these could be improved upon. Other than that, the Refresh Water Bucket is an essential bit of kit and I take mine everywhere. It’s also handy for testing rigs in before casting out.
