A simple idea that will tidy up your bivvy!

Out of the shadows and into the spotlight, we take a look at the brand new bankware from Gardner tackle!

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

You might have seen this handy little product being bandied around over social media lately but for those of you who haven’t, what exactly is it? To be used in conjunction with the seperate 17-litre, olive, square container, the inner bucket complete with drainage holes has its own handle. So imagine you want to soak your particles, wash out your boilies, or perhaps you have arrived at the lake with your spod mix full of all the liquid goodness you added along the way. When it comes to spodding this can very easily become messy and water adds a huge weight to whatever baiting device you are casting, of course. Well now you can simply lift the inner bucket to begin the draining process and by turning the bucket it will safely sit on the edge of the large outer container, which will catch all that important liquid, leaving you a dryer and easy bait to handle – less mess, less fuss.

Bivvy lights are not new in carp fishing. Lanterns, lamps and bivvy lights have been around for an age but this is definitely the next step in bivvy illumination evolution. With features including three intensity settings and two flash settings, the battery life offers 10 hours and it can simply be recharged from the micro USB port. The Sneeka Lite can be fixed to any brolly spoke, storm pole or other small, rigid structure via the supplied system, allowing you to save room and maximise your light efficiently.

The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: These 2ft-long sections are designed to fit the middle of the rod to make casting and landing fish easier when using a long-hook-link-type zig rig. Additionally, they can be used to extend ‘reach’ from the bank when fishing close in to the left or right of the swim, extending the rod upwards when using a beachcaster-type rig or potentially increasing casting distance. At present they are available for most of the Free Spirit Hi-‘S’ and ‘S’ range carp rods, with versions in the pipeline for the ‘E’ Class and CTX models. £34.
