Marc Coulson’s verdict. . . Great for the job and very well priced.

Although only white light is available, there are a few different modes in which it can be used. To be frank, I only ever use a light in the constant mode, changing the brightness as I see fit. I’ve never needed my bivvy light to flash, but it can be handy for anglers using boats as a guide as to where their swim is when rowing back during the night. Anyway, the light is a compact style, domed on the top and with an easy to use function button.

Fish tech taken to a whole new level, this industry first will get tongues wagging and unearth mysteries below.

Bivvy lights are a very ‘Marmite’ type product; you simply either love it or hate it. What really dawned on me at this years Carp In The Park event was the amount of love going around for one bivvy light in particular the Hobo Glow. As a dual-purpose product it boasts a wide array of features to what would normally be a general product. The all-encompassing bivvy light, offers adjustable cool white light and three separate grades of red, ideal for when the mozzies are out but you still need some illumination in the bivvy.

TOP NOTCH! The modern carp angler needs to be versatile, quick on their feet and ready for action. With this in mind, the guys at Trakker have brought two specifically designed nets to the market to keep you ahead of the game. First up is the Hydro two-piece landing net at £239. 99.

I first saw these on a trip up to Trakker and was struck by them. They weren’t launched then, but have been now, and they’re well worth checking out. Available in three sizes, each boasts a sturdy construction, webbed carry loop and internal Velcro dividers, which, especially in the two larger sizes, can be moved around to suit your needs. What makes these different, however, is the clear lids and end section.
