If there is one word that has taken the bait scene by storm in the last two years its krill. Leading on from the popularity of both the freezer and shelf-life varieties of boilies, Sticky is not a company known for resting on its laurels and has since produced a product that we are sure will strike it big in the carp market. Utilising the undisputable and downright irresistible pulling power of the humble little aquatic critter, the krill, Sticky has conjured up what can only be described as one of the most universal ready to go baits ever. With a moist pellet-like texture, this high oil mix can be effortlessly moulded around feeders or leads straight from the bag, as well as more traditional methods such as adding to PVA bags, mesh sticks, spod mixes or introduced as loose feed.

Designed with the mobile angler in mind, this 40-litre-capacity rucksack has been manufactured utilising the robust and durable 50D polyester fabric. Each of the six double-zipped pockets boasts heavy-duty zips and pullers, allowing for safe storage of a variety of tackle items. A high-density, comfortable, padded harness and adjustable straps mean that even when loaded with gear the rucksack is comfortable to wear, which is essential when carrying your gear around on your back. The main compartment also boasts a PVC-backed rain flap to help keep your essentials dry should the weather take a turn for the worse.

Designed to truly be one chair to suit all situations, the Combi is exactly that. It’s a well-dimensioned chair with plenty of padding and support in all the right places. Even with as what you might politely call a bigger frame like mine, it’s plenty comfortable. Fold the rear leg and it converts to one of those chairs that can sit on your bedchair (what exactly do they call those, anyway?) and it works really well in this guise.
