Esp Tungsten Loaded Hook Link
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 27, 2016  |  0 comments
We LOVE these! Having heard lots of good things about it, on arrival of the new ESP Tungsten Loaded, we immediately downed tools and began to play. Firstly we liked the packaging, and no it’s not because Terry Hearn is on it either, the square tackle-box-friendly spool is a convenient size, housing 10 metres of coated material, ideal for when you are trying to streamline your tackle box. Now, this isn’t your usual coated braid. The tungsten coating is extremely durable and, as you would expect, heavy.

Petzl Headtorches
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 27, 2016  |  0 comments
Petzl has long been synonymous with top-quality headtorches, with the compact designs but often unique features appealing to carp anglers in particular. The 100-lumen Tikka has been around for as long as I can remember and was the torch of choice for me, and just about every carp angler I know, for a very long time. Next up is the Tikkina, which at 80 lumens is still ample for most anglers but costs not much over a tenner if you shop around. How Petzl can produce such a quality torch at this price is beyond me, but it is indeed the case.

Ridgemonkey Bivvy Lite Duo
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 27, 2016  |  0 comments
Dan Murrell’s verdict -Extremelyuseful andversatile. Bivvy lights are an item of tackle you either love or hate, but coming into winter fishing when there are more hours of darkness than there are of light they really do come into their own. I have been using the Bivvy-Lite Duo for a few months now and I think it’s great! With four settings you can either have a gentle glow, which is ideal when you’re pottering around in your bivvy and you just fancy some lighting, or with a second push of the button you can have full bivvy illumination, which is a must when cooking or rig tying. A further two settings can be found by double clicking the button, which will activate the red light.

Shimano Speedcast 14000xtb Reel
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 27, 2016  |  0 comments
If ever a product belied its price tag it has to be this reel. When I visited Shimano HQ and was treated to a first look at several new items, the firm’s Richard Griffiths moved on to the Speedcast and said: “You’re gonna like this, mate. ” He wasn’t wrong and as he ran through its host of features I was impressed with what it had to offer. The build quality too was typically Shimano – rugged and built to last but with pleasing aesthetics (it really does look the part with its near complete black design).
