THE TACKLE BOX’S LEE JACKSON SAYS: This set comprises three very attractive and fairly compact remote alarms that have roller wheel sensing, adjustable volume, tone and sensitivity settings, drop-back LED and tone indication and low battery detection alert. Plus there’s a receiver that also has volume, tone and sensitivity controls and low battery detection alert, plus a courtesy light and memory function that has three alarm mode options. This state-of-the-art set comes in a hard plastic presentation case and includes a free remote LED bivvy light that has six adjustable brightness levels, adjustable delay, and once paired with the receiver mimics the LED colour of the alarm that is sounding. Each alarm is powered by two AAA batteries, the receiver a PP3 9V battery and the bivvy light three AAs, none of which are supplied.

The team at Gardner has not disappointed once again, bringing the Stiff variation of the ever-popular Ultra Skin to the market. Ideally suited to situations where you are fishing over a clear debris-free bottom, the coating can be stripped back to reveal a supple braid inner hook-link material. Once steamed, the hook link provides superb anti-tangle properties but also improves rig reaction speed, providing a straight line of contact between hook and lead. The durable material also means that when tightening down knots you won’t break the coating in the process, meaning perfect rigs time and time again.

Bite indication is one element of carp fishing that is crucial to your success and, although many of us probably won’t admit to it, we like to look good in the process.

When a rod pod is too much but banksticks simply won’t do, what you need is the Specialist tripod. It houses three fully adjustable legs that extend from 30 to 58 centimetres but will also accommodate the outer section of any Cygnet Specialist storm poles for a much greater level of elevation. Weighing a very modest 400g this is a ridiculously lightweight product that’s been designed with stability and versatility firmly in mind. This is the perfect item for either fishing on hard surfaces, roving situations and offers you the ability to take awesome self-take shots with the addition of a camera adaptor.
