Hitting the banks of the Waesmere syndicate on Friday, Solar Tackle team member Wesley Lagaert managed 4 bites in under 24-hours, the biggest fishing being an old mirror that tipped the scales at 33lb 6oz. “I had 4 bites from Friday night until Saturday morning,” explains Wes. “So, there wasn’t much sleep involved! I lost a small one at the net and, frustratingly, lost a real good ‘un shortly after due to a very odd occurrence. “Things picked up after that though and I landed a 28lb 10oz common and then a really old mirror of 33lb 6oz.

Not to be thought of as a fishmeal or bird food, this is highly nutritional bait incorporating a mix of crucial dietary ingredients and food sources that carp find much easier to process and convert into energy. However, we understand that it can often take a lot to change from boilies that you have confidence in, so why not try one of the accompanying products, such as the Stick Mix Liquid.
The PVA-friendly formula incorporates the highly visual yellow colouring with a mouth-wateringly good fruity aroma.
So we have all heard about how useful yardsticks can be and it seems very widely accepted terminology to explain how far a certain spot is: “12 wraps to the pylon mate. ”

BARGAIN!Whether you like a 12ft, 13ft or a smaller 9ft or 10ft wand, you want to enjoy the experience and, new for 2016, the SK3 rods tick that box. With a very progressive middle to tip action, the 9ft variations are ideal for anglers targeting small waters or who like to fish at close quarters.
Our designer, Katie Griffiths, has started to carp fish and found that shorter rods are actually easier to control, thus resulting in increased accuracy and casting, so bear that in mind for any newcomers to our sport, or equally if you would like the children to get involved.
The rods are constructed from a powerful low-resin carbon fibre blank incorporating a 1K carbon weave on the butt section.
Marc Coulson’s verdict. . . Clever idea, I like this a lot!
If you’re anything like me you’re constantly looking at ways to save space in your carryall.
These are hugely versatile arms that allow the steadying of your bobbins in windy conditions. Part of the range of indicators in conjunction with Muddy Waters, they are compatible with the hockey sticks and bobbin heads across that spectrum.
I like how easy they are to add to your bobbins without lots of fiddly screwing and unscrewing of loads of threads. They’re also ultra-lightweight, yet rigid enough to do their intended job perfectly.
