Spring time will soon be upon us and I for one am very excited, I think it is the best time of year to target the larger carp. The water temperatures will soon be starting to rise and the carp will be waking up from their winter slumber, they will soon be actively seeking a food source. This is when watercraft comes into its own, one of the most important tips I could give you is to take your time setting up, at the beginning of any session you should spend time watching the water, even if it takes several laps around the lake as location is key. Watercraft plays a huge part in my angling and I have seen far too many Anglers with their backs to the water whilst setting up, missing the opportunity to see signs of showing fish, be it fizzing and bubbling on the water’s surface to blatant fish topping.

Take a look at this incredible 64lb 10oz mirror landed on a Solar Top Banana pop-up by Solar Tackle field tester Fred Ducros. Fred was targeting a hard, private gravel pit that he'd been concentrating on for some time. Presenting a Top Banana pop-up hook bait over a spread of homemade boilies soaked in Top Banana Mega Big Shot Liquid did the trick on this occasion.

With this test series we take a look at unhooking mats and of course, protection is paramount here. As much as we all love a pocket-friendly product, we honestly believe that this is one product that no angler should scrape on, ever! What we are looking for here is the complete protective package, how much padding is on offer, can the carp be retained for short periods without flapping off or out of the mat and how mobile the entire bundle is. Yes, before you say it, the carp we have used for illustrative purposes is rather large, measuring in at a whopping 84 centimetres long and 56 centimetres from dorsal fin to pelvic fin, hence the tight fit. Weighs: 4.
