Mainline isn’t a company that releases baits willy-nilly.
Research and development is at the forefront of all the new bait launches, ensuring that when it brings a new range to the market it is the best it can be and instantly gives you the confidence required to use it without any worry. The Essential Cell builds on the undisputable success that’s synonymous with the original Cell and the famous and very popular aroma of the pungent, fruity Essential IB. Expanding on the existing knowledge of a bait that works, the team at Mainline felt that the Essential Cell cannot be described solely as a protein, fishmeal or bird-food-based bait.
GUEST REVIEWER Editor of Advanced Carp Fishing Magazine Max Hendry’s verdict: Faultless casting and weighs next to nothing. 4/5
I got a set a Cast’izm reels in for review last year. I was after a small, compact reel that would be ideal for using on canals or small waters with my shorter 10ft rods.
Like the Cast’izm QDA reel the Mag Sealing ensures the reel remains super-smooth no matter how much abuse you give it.
Brand new for 2016, this is all you need to get those surface gulping carp on the feed and hopefully get a few sulking in the bottom of your net.
Containing 2kg of uniform-sized mixers, they have been pre-treated with an oily attractant to help you gain that all-important oily slick over the water’s surface. The uniform size allows them to be easily and accurately fed by either catapult or, if you want to go that little further, a Spomb or spod. As well as the free offerings, there is also a pot of boosted ready-to-go hair-rig hook baits.
The X. S. M, or X-treme Spod and Marker, is a specifically designed tool for baiting and feature finding at range.
The 13ft blank offers a progressive power action so you can feel the power building up in the blank before it transfers down the line, sending your lead or Spomb effortlessly into the distance.
Stronger version of the popular Krank pattern
Beaked-point hook with sweeping shank
Ideal for a KD presentation or traditional knotless knot

We love these!After having extensively used the original Bivvy Lite Duo, I was keen to receive the IR version.
Let me just say I am only recently converted to bivvy lights, and just how handy they are. Basically building on the best-selling bivvy light, RidgeMonkey has now added a handy remote function. Still boasting the dual white and red colour options with twin brightness settings, you can effortlessly switch between the colour variations and brightness options at the click of a button.
Spacious, sturdy and great value for money, that’s exactly what we thought when we took a look at this goliath shelter.
Perfectly suited for anglers wishing to fish long sessions, planning a trip overseas or who like to take everything and the kitchen sink.
Built using the state-of-the-art Windtex fabric, it is both 100 per cent waterproof and breathable. Boasting a stereo weave, the PU-coated polyester fabric is rated to 20,000mm Hydrostatic Head, while allowing moisture to escape for a condensation-free space.
Check ’EM out!Available in two sizes, standard and king size, the Flat Out sleeping bag has been redesigned with TC regular Dave Lane (maybe he feels the cold in his old age?).
Utilising the best available materials, the windproof outer fabric eliminates draughts, suiting the angler who either dares to fish under the stars or with an open-fronted brolly or shelter.
Boasting a luxurious inner fleece lining to provide instant and sustained warmth throughout the night, there are also two baffles, which now run along the zip to further reduce any risk of draughts or cold spots forming. Synthetic materials fill the bag to ensure it retains its heat and offers superb insulation properties once you’re inside.
