Whether you like to sit out and watch the water or you are expecting guests this season, the new range of Levelite chairs are items to be checking out now. After the huge popularity of the Levelite bedchair, Trakker decided to take that inspiration and bring the outstanding level of luxury and rather unique legs to its smaller brothers of the range. First up is the Transformer, given its name because it doubles as not just a chair but also a bedchair seat; two products in one essentially and that’s handy, right? With an aluminium design it is lightweight and ergonomically designed with the generous padding to provide a comfortable and practical seating solution. Secondly is the Compact Chair, again supported with the unique patented leg design, where one push and the leg will drop to the required level.

Shimano Tx Compact Specimen Rod

Awesome!Marc Coulson’s verdict - Extremely impressive – far better than I expected. 4/5 It’s been a very long time since I used a multi-piece rod and, if I’m honest, I didn’t think too many companies still made them, let alone realise how popular they still are. Ideal for keeping in the back of your car, taking on holiday or just for the angler with limited storage space, for me they served a purpose but were never actually that good. However, I was hugely surprised by this four-piece TX Compact.

Designed to be lightweight and compact, the Tactical stove is any roving angler’s dream. Designed to fit perfectly in the Wychwood Carpers Kettle the pack-down size of the stove really is something to marvel with the ingenious, unique leg-folding design. Boasting a high thermal efficiency when coupled with a good gas canister, you can achieve a boiling time of just less than two minutes, kettle size depending of course, but more than that the efficiency helps to preserve and make the most of your gas. Built using a combination of high-grade aluminium, copper and stainless steel, this compact stove is hard-wearing, lightweight and robust.

Bivvies, Shelters & Brollies

Jrc Extreme Tx Brolly System

With the good weather finally here, it’s nice to pack away the large cumbersome bivvy and dust off the brolly. However, with the English weather being unpredictable, to say the least, it’s a good idea to have a brolly that can cope with the ever-changing conditions. The Extreme TX Brolly System is such a product. Built from the extremely waterproof 20,000mm HH Hydra-Tex material, this shelter practically shrugs water off in an instant.

Mainline Essential Cell

Mainline isn’t a company that releases baits willy-nilly. Research and development is at the forefront of all the new bait launches, ensuring that when it brings a new range to the market it is the best it can be and instantly gives you the confidence required to use it without any worry. The Essential Cell builds on the undisputable success that’s synonymous with the original Cell and the famous and very popular aroma of the pungent, fruity Essential IB. Expanding on the existing knowledge of a bait that works, the team at Mainline felt that the Essential Cell cannot be described solely as a protein, fishmeal or bird-food-based bait.

Daiwa Cast’izm Br 25a

GUEST REVIEWER Editor of Advanced Carp Fishing Magazine Max Hendry’s verdict: Faultless casting and weighs next to nothing. 4/5 I got a set a Cast’izm reels in for review last year. I was after a small, compact reel that would be ideal for using on canals or small waters with my shorter 10ft rods. Like the Cast’izm QDA reel the Mag Sealing ensures the reel remains super-smooth no matter how much abuse you give it.

Brand new for 2016, this is all you need to get those surface gulping carp on the feed and hopefully get a few sulking in the bottom of your net. Containing 2kg of uniform-sized mixers, they have been pre-treated with an oily attractant to help you gain that all-important oily slick over the water’s surface. The uniform size allows them to be easily and accurately fed by either catapult or, if you want to go that little further, a Spomb or spod. As well as the free offerings, there is also a pot of boosted ready-to-go hair-rig hook baits.
