The super-compact rig storage system is exactly that. With a capacity to hold up to 60 rigs at any one time, it offers vast space for such a compact size, making it a mobile angler’s dream. Ingeniously, a curved recess allows rigs with a shrink-tube kicker to be stored with little to no detriment to the angle of the kicker, keeping the rig in tiptop condition ready for that all-important moment. The Rig Safe comes complete with 30 single pins and an added 15 double pins, which allow you to store pre-tied rigs that you haven’t determined the length of with ease.

Dan Murrell’s verdict - my winter sessions just got a lot cosier. Having broken my previous stove some time ago, I have been using my friend’s rather old school meths burner. Although it has done what it needed to do, my kettle is stained black, my hands usually stink and it can take an age to cook a meal. hen Trakker came into the office bearing goodies, I was nominated try out the Armolife CG-3 stove and thank god I was.

Water butts are an important piece of kit for all anglers but there’s always the age-old problem when trying to fill a single cup or kettle because the water spits and spurts as you pour. By screwing on the supplied removable tap it allows you to use the container much more efficiently, ensuring the flow is immediate and controlled. The water butt can be bought in a five-litre, 10-litre or 15-litre capacity, catering for quick overnight stays or longer three to four-day durations. The largest of the three also features an extra-large filling hole, making them a doddle to replenish, especially from a smaller water container.

This has been one of those products that we in the TC and ACF offices have been eager to get our hands on and, when one finally arrived, I was just glad that the box came addressed to me! The construction and quality is extremely sturdy and the twin magnets in each corner keep the closure secure. Inside there is ample room to contain plenty of chod rigs, both short and longer versions fitting into the relevant sections. The storage ‘bin’ is removable and the centre of it can be pushed through to create a handle for safe steaming of lines using the rounded profile. Inside this handle there’s even a compartment to store the supplied pins.

When I first joined my syndicate earlier this year I was greeted with the sight of a 15-acre lake absolutely choked with weed. To be fair, choked might be a bit harsh, but it was weedy. Very weedy. I knew the first thing I needed to do was get some sturdy line that would cope with the job in hand.
