Lee Jackson’s verdict - Well worth a look, especially at this price! 4/5 Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Although these indicator heads have been available for a number of years, the first time I actually got to use a set was on a trip to Rainbow Lake in France in 2015 and I’ve used them ever since. What impressed me most was that even when the LED on my bite alarm was trying its best to burn a hole in my retinas, the bobbin still stood out. The Power Glo heads are available in five colours – red, green, amber, white or blue – and come supplied with a line clip and are compatible with all Solar and most other companies’ chains and hockey sticks. Each head is powered by two supplied LR44 batteries, and once the head is turned on, the LED in the bobbin is switched on and becomes highly visible once it gets dark.

Lee Jackson’s verdict. . . Extremely versatile and a must on bigger waters.

It was brought home just how popular this product was at this year’s Carp In The Park and having had a closer look it’s clear to see why. As a dual-purpose product it brings plenty of features to what would normally be a general product. The all-encompassing bivvy light offers adjustable cool white light and three separate grades of red, ideal for when the mozzies are out but you still need illumination in the bivvy. Offering up to 60 hours’ battery life from a single charge, the Hobo Glow also benefits from a power bank function, helping you to keep any electrical devices alive while out on the bank utilising a single USB port.

There is no shortage of good hooks available to the modern carp angler and in these, Prologic has raised its own bar significantly. With super-sharp points throughout the range, there are a host of patterns to cover all fishing situations. My only slight reservation here is that they carry numbers for their descriptions, such as XC2, XC5 and XC7, which don’t immediately tell you what they’re designed to be used for. That aside, most pop-up and bottom-bait presentations are more than catered for and each pattern looks relevant.

Bivvy lights are a very ‘Marmite’ type product; you simply either love it or hate it. What really dawned on me at this years Carp In The Park event was the amount of love going around for one bivvy light in particular the Hobo Glow. As a dual-purpose product it boasts a wide array of features to what would normally be a general product. The all-encompassing bivvy light, offers adjustable cool white light and three separate grades of red, ideal for when the mozzies are out but you still need some illumination in the bivvy.
