If you are in the market for a new sleeping bag then look no further. We have chosen two from the Advanta range that we feel will keep you warm and cosy through those cold hours of darkness that will soon be upon us. Both benefit from a luxurious peach skin cotton outer and generous Holofil insulation filling. An attached fleece baffle and no less than seven draft excluder skirts also help to retain the warmth and keep out the dreaded cold breeze that can often keep you tossing and turning all night.

The original versions of Vass’ smock and salopettes have been hugely popular in the khaki colour and it is probably the most waterproof suit of its kind that we have seen. Responding to huge public demand, Vass has now introduced the same suit but with a quilted lining to add insulation to the protection. I’m referring to this as a suit because it is of course exactly that, but each garment is sold separately, so if you only want the jacket or the salopettes then you can. The smock is a pullover design and boasts a front ‘kangaroo-style’ pocket, elasticated cuffs, roll-out hood and high collar to keep out the worst that the elements can throw at you.

If there is one word that has taken the bait scene by storm in the last two years its krill. Leading on from the popularity of both the freezer and shelf-life varieties of boilies, Sticky is not a company known for resting on its laurels and has since produced a product that we are sure will strike it big in the carp market. Utilising the undisputable and downright irresistible pulling power of the humble little aquatic critter, the krill, Sticky has conjured up what can only be described as one of the most universal ready to go baits ever. With a moist pellet-like texture, this high oil mix can be effortlessly moulded around feeders or leads straight from the bag, as well as more traditional methods such as adding to PVA bags, mesh sticks, spod mixes or introduced as loose feed.
