Accessories

Available in several sizes, these air-dry bags are perfect for storing baits on longer sessions. I bought a couple of the 3kg versions and the small hook-bait type from The Tackle Box earlier this year (lots of other retailers also sell them) and now use them on all my trips. I chuck a load of frozen baits in one and hang it up in my garage the night before I go fishing. They are then defrosted and ready to use the next day and can be kept in good condition while on the bank, too.

The Quicklock is so named because the front legs can be folded away with minimum fuss thanks to the neat folding mechanism. It’s a ‘twist and lock’ system where the legs slot into grooves on a rotating cylinder. Essentially, you turn the wheel until the grooves align, then the legs can be folded out. Stability sits high on the list of design credentials.

Compact, rubberised butt grips designed to secure your rod butts without causing damage to the blanks or handles. Available in small and large to suit all rod-handle types. For more information go to www. taskacarp.

Although designed to complement the Cygnet range of banksticks and buzz bars, these rings are also compatible with most other brands’ products. They allow the locking down of your gear to create rock-solid setups. For more information go to: www. cygnettackle.
