I have never been one to tinker with the mechanics of the kit I use, not beyond a little tightening up or lubrication here and there, but switching to these washers in the spools of my Shimano reels was an absolute revelation (it takes seconds to do, by the way). Having watched Tony from Future Fishing (it’s the sole distributors for these washers) demonstrate them on the shop’s video page I was intrigued as to just how much difference they would actually make. It’s not difficult to make things look good on a video, so only a try for myself would convince me. However, any suspicions were soon allayed as the simple switching of the washers in the top of the spool of my Ultegra 14000XTDs saw the drag absolutely transformed.

When a rod pod is too much but banksticks simply won’t do, what you need is the Specialist tripod. It houses three fully adjustable legs that extend from 30 to 58 centimetres but will also accommodate the outer section of any Cygnet Specialist storm poles for a much greater level of elevation. Weighing a very modest 400g this is a ridiculously lightweight product that’s been designed with stability and versatility firmly in mind. This is the perfect item for either fishing on hard surfaces, roving situations and offers you the ability to take awesome self-take shots with the addition of a camera adaptor.

The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: An excellent bit of kit for keeping the chill off on those cold winter nights. The 1,000W adjustable burner is housed in a protective cage for safety purposes and is best run on a 500-size low-pressure gas cartridge that screws in the bottom. It’s designed to be used in a well-ventilated space, therefore a bit of care and caution obviously has to be taken on where it is placed to warm up a bivvy to avoid accidents. I’ve used one of these when the temperature has been well below freezing outside, a little tip being to stand the gas cartridge in a metal container with hot water in it to warm the gas inside and make the burner burn more efficiently.
