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.

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.

Like a standard inflatable but better, the Airmat is one of the biggest selling points because it reduces any disturbance you make while in the boat and helps to protect your quarry once returning to the bank. Another ingenious design feature is the raised bow, which allows you to gain maximum efficiency with a trolling motor. As the name suggests, the boat is a generous 160 centimetres long, perfect for one man and his kit, especially with a loading capacity of 160kg. Supplied with sliding seat, folding lightweight aluminium oars, power pump for inflating and deflating as well as a transport bag and puncture repair set.

The duo adaptor features a bankstick thread and simple adaptor, allowing you to use the RidgeMonkey Bivvy Lite out on the bank to help illuminate your own self-take catch shots, or even if you fancy shedding some light on the social. Following the popularity of the GoPro buzz they also have an attachment for this too; you are guaranteed to get the perfect angle when returning fish or for whatever carpy video you are looking to record. The Bivvy Lite has had a great reception and if like me you have managed to lose the metal plate do not panic, you can now seamlessly attach these to the ribs of your bivvy or brolly by another simple little clamp it has on offer.

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.
