Bite Alarms & Indicators
New Direction Tackle K9 Bite Alarm
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 30, 2017  |  0 comments
Having been out for more than a year, we thought we would revisit these feature-packed and technologically advanced bite alarms. Making a name by utilising Bluetooth technology, each bite alarm head can seamlessly be paired to your mobile smartphone device or tablet, keeping you at the forefront of indication. Do not fear if you feel these alarms may be a little too advanced for you and, like me, you would rather turn your phone off and fish in a more traditional manner. Each presentation case comes complete with a small receiver that offers a range of features, including individual lights, the ability to change tone and volume from the comfort of your own bivvy while also carrying out range tests.

9 Steps To Better Casting
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 30, 2017  |  0 comments
When our own Katie Griffiths decided that she wanted a bit of help with her chucking we knew exactly who to call on… casting coach MARK HUTCHINSON. 01 - LET’S GET IT STARTED! While it may not be the most picturesque of venues, Naseby Reservoir on the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border is ideally suited to practise your casting, with its flat banks and huge expanse of open water. Free Spirit-backed Mark holds regular casting clinics in both group and individual formats here and, although today he’s enjoying some welcome time for his own fishing, he’s more than happy to have Katie and I pester him for some help. First things first, and Hutch is keen to see how Katie sets up her gear, what she is using and what her current casting style looks like.

The duo adaptor features a bankstick thread and simple adaptor, allowing you to use the RidgeMonkey Bivvy Lite out on the bank to help illuminate your own self-take catch shots, or even if you fancy shedding some light on the social. Following the popularity of the GoPro buzz they also have an attachment for this too; you are guaranteed to get the perfect angle when returning fish or for whatever carpy video you are looking to record.

Bedchairs & Chairs
Trakker Rlx Flat 6 Superlite Bed
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 27, 2017  |  0 comments
At under 7kg the Superlite is exactly that – super lightweight – yet surprisingly offers great levels of comfort even for myself at just under six feet and weighing in the region of 13 stones too many. Thanks to the durable and well-constructed dual-hinge mechanism the bed folds down in a flat and very compact manner and will even take a winter sleeping bag with ease. Extra lumbar support will prevent the dreaded bedchair sag associated with extensive use. Ample padding provides you with a solid and comfortable frame to sit on and you won’t be up all night banging your arms on the supporting frame, as the RLX is a snug yet supportive night’s sleep.

Nash Air Cradle
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 27, 2017  |  0 comments
Kevin Nash was one of the first within the angling industry to think about suspending carp safely off the ground in a cradle-type structure, radically reducing the risk of damage during unhooking and photography. Well he has pushed the boundaries once more. Supplied with a foot pump, the Air Cradle can be inflated in seconds and deflates to a much smaller size than traditional cradle-type designs. Utilising three robust tubes, both the standard and monster sizes are capable of holding fish to over 60kg without any compromise on the protection offered.
