Summit Tackle Metalware
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 11, 2016  |  0 comments
Lee Jackson’s verdict - I’m amazed at the build quality and extensive range. 4/5 Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: In a market that is already crowded and occupied by big names when it comes to stainless steel metalware, it is always a big risk for a new company to come to the table with a new range of banksticks, buzz bars, pods and accessories, but that is exactly what Summit Tackle has done. We were all very surprised and impressed at just how good a quality this range of metalware actually is. It covers everything from rod pods that are aesthetically very pleasing to the eye and that can be set up in seconds, to adjustable banksticks from nine to 18 inches that come with no-loss thumb lock screws and with a flat-profile inner section to minimise twisting, and two and three-rod adjustable buzz bars in various widths.

Sunn Gas Parabolic Heater
Total Carp Staff  |  Jan 23, 2017  |  0 comments
The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: An excellent bit of kit for keeping the chill off on those cold winter nights. The 1,000W adjustable burner is housed in a protective cage for safety purposes and is best run on a 500-size low-pressure gas cartridge that screws in the bottom. It’s designed to be used in a well-ventilated space, therefore a bit of care and caution obviously has to be taken on where it is placed to warm up a bivvy to avoid accidents. I’ve used one of these when the temperature has been well below freezing outside, a little tip being to stand the gas cartridge in a metal container with hot water in it to warm the gas inside and make the burner burn more efficiently.

Tackle Box Line Dispenser Bands
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 14, 2016  |  0 comments
The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Simple and very effective way of keeping line tidy on a spool. Nothing can be more annoying sometimes than line spilling off the spool and then getting tangled with almost anything that it comes into contact with. These bands fit most commonly used spools and simply attach to the spool similarly to how you would attach an elastic band. The end of the line passes through a bead and then can by dispensed by pulling the end of the line or pushing the bead round with your fingers to wind it back onto the spool.

Tackle Labs Black Ice Washers
Total Carp Staff  |  Feb 03, 2017  |  0 comments
I have never been one to tinker with the mechanics of the kit I use, not beyond a little tightening up or lubrication here and there, but switching to these washers in the spools of my Shimano reels was an absolute revelation (it takes seconds to do, by the way). Having watched Tony from Future Fishing (it’s the sole distributors for these washers) demonstrate them on the shop’s video page I was intrigued as to just how much difference they would actually make. It’s not difficult to make things look good on a video, so only a try for myself would convince me. However, any suspicions were soon allayed as the simple switching of the washers in the top of the spool of my Ultegra 14000XTDs saw the drag absolutely transformed.

Taska 13.9 Edition Stainless
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 18, 2012  |  0 comments
A recent trip to Taska’s impressive Essex HQ saw one or two of the TC boys salivating at a number of new products, many of which will have just been launched by the time this magazine goes out. There will be plenty more coverage of many of the innovative rig bits over future issues, but we picked out the new 13. 9 Edition stainless range, and some interesting new bobbins, for special attention. At first sight, the stainless is nothing out of the ordinary, but when you pick it up you’re immediately struck by the weight, or rather the lack of it.

Taska Baseline Tungsten All Seasons Putty
Total Carp Staff  |  Jul 11, 2016  |  0 comments
PUKKA!Putty has been around for years and every angler has a little pot kicking around. This is the newest addition to the popular Taska Baseline Tungsten range and what a welcome addition it is too. As the name suggests, the formula has been designed to ensure the putty is as easy to use in the depths of winter as it is in the height of summer. If putty isn’t malleable then it’s just not practical to use and this was the team’s main focus.

Taska Hair Stops
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 18, 2012  |  0 comments
Okay, hair stops are hair stops, right? Well, yes, but these are decent versions, well shaped to fit neatly into your baits (if that sort of thing matters to you) and they are available in a plethora of colours. I like to use a fluoro orange or yellow to add a flash of colour to my otherwise dull New Grange hook baits. Here’s the best bit, there are a whopping 212 stops in every pack! Taska also produces an extended version. Marc CoulsonRRP: £1.

Taska Hook Sharpening File
Total Carp Staff  |  Dec 19, 2014  |  0 comments
It’s important to have a sharp hook. I want a fish to pick up my hook bait and be hooked straightaway. I have been using the Taska Flat File for some time and I have to say that I am impressed with the results. I don’t like to heavily sharpen my hooks but a bit of a touch-up after landing a carp can’t go amiss.

Bivvy lights are not new in carp fishing. Lanterns, lamps and bivvy lights have been around for an age but this is definitely the next step in bivvy illumination evolution. With features including three intensity settings and two flash settings, the battery life offers 10 hours and it can simply be recharged from the micro USB port. The Sneeka Lite can be fixed to any brolly spoke, storm pole or other small, rigid structure via the supplied system, allowing you to save room and maximise your light efficiently.
