Tip Of The Month Pellets
Total Carp Staff  |  Feb 06, 2017  |  0 comments
Pellets may not be every angler’s first port of call at this time of year but with a bit of thought, you can really turn them into a great cold-water bait. . .

With this test series we take a look at unhooking mats and of course, protection is paramount here. As much as we all love a pocket-friendly product, we honestly believe that this is one product that no angler should scrape on, ever! What we are looking for here is the complete protective package, how much padding is on offer, can the carp be retained for short periods without flapping off or out of the mat and how mobile the entire bundle is. Yes, before you say it, the carp we have used for illustrative purposes is rather large, measuring in at a whopping 84 centimetres long and 56 centimetres from dorsal fin to pelvic fin, hence the tight fit. Weighs: 2.

Trakker As 365 Compact Sleeping Bag
Total Carp Staff  |  Feb 03, 2017  |  0 comments
Standing for All Season, I have been testing the AS 365 Compact since December and I have been out in very cold conditions, well the brief spells we have encountered anyway. Being the Compact I thought that by saving space and weight the bag would suffer and be a little chilly. However, I have been pleasantly surprised. Inside there are baffle strips that run the length of the bag and these enable the user to warm the bag much faster because there is less wasted space to heat.
