It’s the best particle around and particularly comes into its own as the water cools. MARC COULSON reveals what makes hemp so great… ONE: Value For Money - Hemp is inherently decent value, especially if you take the time and make the effort to prepare your own. Consider how many grains you get in, say, even just 1lb of hemp and it is a considerable number. You can bait a very good area with just a couple of quid’s worth of hemp and, unlike boilies, it can hold carp in an area for an extremely long time.

Keeping warm and dry is essential in these cold conditions, and Wychwood has not disappointed with the release of the new Parka and Bib ‘N’ Brace, available separately. A 100 per cent nylon construction boasts an incredible 8,000mm hydrostatic head and an impressive 5,000g m2 breathability rating means you stay warm and dry for longer periods without the risk of sweating profusely inside, which actually helps you to regulate and control your internal temperature far more easily than before. Combining durable and long-lasting YKK front zips with a storm flap helps to ensure there is no unwanted water ingress when the weather turns wild. The Parka boasts no less than five pockets, while the Bib ‘N’ Brace is also fitted with two SBS zipped pockets for the valuables you wish to keep to hand.
