I have two weaknesses when it comes to carp kit… bobbins and little bags, and these are right up my street. In fact, I use one of these very sacks to keep some of my bobbins in!
Available in DPM and plain green, there are three sizes and all of them come in extremely useful whatever you’re trying to store and keep organised. Unlike more rigid luggage or even boxes, they take up very little room and if, like me, you’ve been trying to cut your kit down a bit, they are spot-on.
The relatively padded, quilted construction makes for some protection for the contents and a drawstring means they can be closed up if needs be.
There are undoubtedly some good pods out there and there are certainly some cheaper ones too. However, I challenge anybody to find one better than this.
Okay, it’s a lot of money, but you absolutely get what you pay for. Precision British engineering in top-quality stainless steel means that this pod will literally last you a lifetime.
Lee Jackson’s verdict - The perfect carp rod. I love these and use them all the time. 5/5
The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Having been involved with Free Spirit from the very start and having worked for The Tackle Box for something like 28 years, there have always been little ‘tweaks’ that I have built into my own rods that I prefer to the standard versions.
The Python rod is no exception.

GREAT VALUE! This abbreviated-handle variation of Wychwood’s hugely popular 101 series of rods is available in a limited run and only for a certain period of time.
Once they’re gone that’s it, so I guess they are a limited edition carp rod, and all for under £60 each.
As with the C-101 and D-101, with their cork and Duplon handles, respectively (see what they’ve done there?) they boast extremely impressive blanks for a carp rod in this price range.
Never has a carp rod represented more obviously the boundaries that are constantly being pushed in this ‘budget’ price bracket and the results are extremely impressive.
Dan Murrell’s verdict - An absolute joy to use and I have no complaints yet. Superb! 5/5
Having used big pits for what seems like forever, I have to be honest and say I was a little dubious about stepping away from one of the more prominent, well-established brands and trying these out. How wrong was I? They have been exceptional.
I have used these for over three months, clocking up somewhere in the region of probably over 500 fishing hours, and I am yet to find something I do not like.
