Bivvy lights are not new in carp fishing. Lanterns, lamps and bivvy lights have been around for an age but this is definitely the next step in bivvy illumination evolution. With features including three intensity settings and two flash settings, the battery life offers 10 hours and it can simply be recharged from the micro USB port. The Sneeka Lite can be fixed to any brolly spoke, storm pole or other small, rigid structure via the supplied system, allowing you to save room and maximise your light efficiently.

Classic design slimline bobbins that are perfectly adapted for fishing close to medium ranges where delicate line indication is key. Weighing in at between 3g to 4g they are, as the name suggests, light. There are seven colours in the vast range so you will find the perfect complementary bobbin for your setup. Each bobbin is supplied with a black Clinga Ball Chain and Black Clinga Link for an easy to fit and understated product that does exactly what it says on the tin.

You might have seen this handy little product being bandied around over social media lately but for those of you who haven’t, what exactly is it? To be used in conjunction with the seperate 17-litre, olive, square container, the inner bucket complete with drainage holes has its own handle. So imagine you want to soak your particles, wash out your boilies, or perhaps you have arrived at the lake with your spod mix full of all the liquid goodness you added along the way. When it comes to spodding this can very easily become messy and water adds a huge weight to whatever baiting device you are casting, of course. Well now you can simply lift the inner bucket to begin the draining process and by turning the bucket it will safely sit on the edge of the large outer container, which will catch all that important liquid, leaving you a dryer and easy bait to handle – less mess, less fuss.

Without a doubt the top choice for the roving angler. Packing down to the smallest size and being the second lightest on test, the X Snugpak Techlite showed remarkable heat retention properties when tested. Sadly there is no escaping the price and, yes, it is the most expensive on test but for the anglers who can afford it and rely on a lightweight, high-performance bag, this has got to be the choice.
