PUKKA!Putty has been around for years and every angler has a little pot kicking around. This is the newest addition to the popular Taska Baseline Tungsten range and what a welcome addition it is too. As the name suggests, the formula has been designed to ensure the putty is as easy to use in the depths of winter as it is in the height of summer. If putty isn’t malleable then it’s just not practical to use and this was the team’s main focus.

Bank Bug has recently released the Silent Assassin Demons. Chemically sharpened and seriously strong, they are finished in a matt black PTFE coating that is non-reflective for a discreet approach that particularly comes into its own in shallow clear water. There are now seven varieties in the range to help you find the perfect pattern for your preferred presentation. These include the Long S, Curved LS, Wide G, Curved S, Chod and of course the Straight P, all of which are priced at £4.

With the trend for sharpening hooks, we often argue in the office as to whether, when you’re paying £3 to £5 a packet, you sould have to sharpen them. Well the arrival of the new Kodex Genomic Wide Gape hooks settled our debate; no they do not need sharpening – only after you have banked several fish, of course. With a Micro-Ground finish and chemically edged process that each hook has been subjected to, the ever so slightly leaning point is super-fine, incredibly sharp and wow does it take hold quickly – and that’s just in my hand. I mentioned it slightly leans as opposed to it being a fully fledged beaked point that can alter the hooking potential in certain rig presentations.
