The newest glasses in the Fortis range sees a slight move away from fashion designs with the Wrap instead offering a more traditional look, yet with modern lines. The wraparound design offers full protection and peripheral vision, as well as eliminating light ingress. Vents in the upper frame prevent steaming and two lens options cover all types of light conditions. They’re also very light and comfortable to wear for long periods and offer UV400 protection, as well as the same polarising properties of the rest of the impressive range.

First impressions of this gazebo-type shelter are not immediately conducive to stopping you in your tracks and making you dash out to your nearest Avid stockist to buy one. However, once you look at how it works and open your mind to the possibilities, it becomes more and more impressive. With four side panels, each with a full central zip, you basically park it over up to four bivvies to create a large shelter, compete with communal area for socials, extra gear or just that added space and comfort. We saw this one with two bivvies at a 90-degree angle to each other and immediately imagined how useful it would be to the hordes of anglers who fish as pairs at venues like Linear.

Hinder's Steve Clarke on a memorable week in France!Steve Clarke of Hinders Tackle in Swindon has recently returned from a very memorable trip to France, which saw him and his friends bank fish to a massive 65lb!He explained: "Having never fished anywhere other then the UK for carp myself and a few mates decided it was about time to venture out and what better place then France. We booked ourselves a six night session on one of the more popular venues in hope of a few chunks. To be honest I'd have never of guessed just how much time and effort goes into booking a trip, and the cost for that matter, but with bait/tackle and everything finally sorted we loaded up and headed off late Friday afternoon. We endured a long but relatively smooth drive and arrived in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Korda ace beats his personal best three times in same session!Korda backed rod, Jonathan Brown has enjoyed a very productive session on Lake Pelagicavo over in Bosnia & Herzegovina, where he’s been living for the past 14 years, working for NATO. He explained: “Everyone we spoke to commented on how difficult the lake was to fish during the week, almost as if the fish knew when not to feed. My fishing partner, Muhamed Dzafo had reserved swim five, an area I hadn’t fished before. We had fished swims eight and 10 two weekends before and hadn’t managed to catch, so anticipation wasn’t high but we were hoping the stories of the venue fishing hard during the week would prove unfounded.
