Luggage

I’m continually impressed with the new Nash luggage and, as a lover of this style and size of carryall, I paid particular attention to this one when my mate Alan Blair handed me it at the Carp In The Park event. It wasn’t actually for me, sadly, it was for review purposes, but needless to say it hasn’t made it back into the office just yet!The neat construction allows a host of configurations and the removable two top sections make sliding it all under a bedchair while maintaining complete access a doddle. When out taking these photographs of the Cube, I literally had to ration the features that I snapped with the camera, there were so many. Easy access to all compartments, foil linings to keep bait or food fresh, chunky zips, even an internal cooler-pack pouch – Nash seems to have it all covered with the Cube.

When it comes to tackle I wouldn’t say I was that hard to please. I like simple, efficient and something that will last. Having used this quiver and sleeve for well over a month, and a fair few sessions, I can say that it is currently ticking all the boxes. As with most quivers, the simplistic design makes it perfect for me, saving room when loading the car.

Following the popularity of the Carp Care Cradle, Chub has brought to the market a revamped, and restyled version that is sure to be a success. The new Xtra Protection Cradle now has a unique construction allowing the whole product to fold flat, minimising space required for storage and when in transit. The padded restraining sides have been made stiffer, ensuring maximum protection is offered from all sides. As you would expect, the internal mat is exceptionally well padded for complete support and carp safety.
