LATEST ADDITIONS

The best just got better - regarded as Aqua’s best-selling brolly, the aptly named Fast & Light Brolly has gathered somewhat of a cult following over the years, and with the latest version seeing some additional features we are sure it will be greatly received too. Carp fishing has gone full circle recently and we are seeing a sudden emergence of all things camou, especially DPM. Well, why should a brolly be any different? Still utilising the ever amazingly waterproof Aquatexx, the brolly has been independently tested for a hydrostatic head of over 14,000mm/H20, which is four times higher than you would find on your average expedition tent. The only change to the famous Aquatexx is the new 2015 DPM camou print.

I’m continually impressed with the new Nash luggage and, as a lover of this style and size of carryall, I paid particular attention to this one when my mate Alan Blair handed me it at the Carp In The Park event. It wasn’t actually for me, sadly, it was for review purposes, but needless to say it hasn’t made it back into the office just yet!The neat construction allows a host of configurations and the removable two top sections make sliding it all under a bedchair while maintaining complete access a doddle. When out taking these photographs of the Cube, I literally had to ration the features that I snapped with the camera, there were so many. Easy access to all compartments, foil linings to keep bait or food fresh, chunky zips, even an internal cooler-pack pouch – Nash seems to have it all covered with the Cube.
