Can’t wait to test! I’d not seen one of these before two castable units landed in the TC office and, at first, I have to admit to having been a bit sceptical. However, I then ventured on to the Fish Hunter website and marvelled at the videos for both the Pro and 3D units. Wow – if you’re into this sort of thing then these look absolutely brilliant. I wouldn’t use them for finding carp, but as a tool to map the contours of the lake bed they might just be a huge edge.

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.
