TC editor Marc Coulson says: If seeing that price for these superb, limited edition carp rods sees you frantically searching Google to find out where you can order a set now, then the first thing we’ll tell you is that these are pretty much exclusive to Angling Direct. The bespoke 3. 75lb test rods are designed with the long-range angler in mind, albeit they do offer an element of forgiveness for close-in fights and that critical period when the carp nears the net. We got our own Dan Murrell (pictured below), who can really chuck it, to put this rod through its paces and the results were very impressive indeed.

I was recently given the Chub Xtra protection cradle to test. Now with my syndicate proving particularly hard work I decided to take it out to a few day-ticket waters in order to get some fish on the mat. Often the lively double-figure carp that inhabit a lot of day-ticket waters can be hard to keep under control, but this awesome mat takes away all my worries of fish safety. I have had two carp on the mat at once and been easily able to keep control of them and ensure their safety.
