Dan Murrell’s verdict. . . Lightweight and compact but offers superior protection.

Certain items of tackle gain a cult-like following within angling and the original Terry Hearn rods did exactly that. When Terry rejoined ESP it brought much speculation and hope that there would be some long-awaited collaborations coming our way and, after extensive field testing and being tailored and tweaked to his exact and demanding standards, ESP is proud to launch new versions of a much-loved old favourite. The two rods are the ESP Terry Hearn Classic and the ESP Terry Hearn Distance, both in 12ft 9in lengths. For all you purists out there, the Terry Hearn Classic is the model designed for you.

When we heard that the Sleep Easy came with a 28-stone weight limit, we shrugged our shoulders and said: “That will be heavy then. ”Well, by utilising an exclusive aircraft lightweight frame, not only is strength imperative but at 11. 5kg it’s not as heavy as we first thought. The Prestige-manufactured bedchair also boasts an ingenious anti-sag support system and much-needed flat head section, ensuring a comfortable night’s sleep for anglers of all sizes.
