This brand-new stick is a more affordable version of Taska’s Venda carbon stick, which has already curried favour with many anglers. The short design is ideal for firing baits out up to 80 yards or so (when I tried it at least, some might get them further) and it is especially accurate over short ranges compared with some longer sticks. The handle is easy on your hands and it’s also extremely light, far lighter than others of a similar ilk. It’s also ridiculously good value.

Sometimes you need to look outside the tackle industry for specialists in a certain field and I think this is the case here. Powersolve does exactly that; it specialises in electrical products, especially charging units. This powerful light has an integrated charger which, in our tests, outperformed the others with a similar function. I suspect it may be manufactured by the same factory as the TF Gear light beacuse some of the fixtures and fittings are identical.

This style is a little dated compared with some these days, but it remains an exceptional light when that’s all you want it to be. The output is impressive and, although some prefer a rechargeable light compared to one that works from batteries, if ever you are caught short and it runs out, at least you can usually get your hands on some batteries. There isn’t very likely to be a plug socket in your swim!The upright style lends itself to being sat on a bivvy table or suchlike, while there is an easy to use carbiner-style hanging loop. Three white-light modes include bright, dim and flashing, which you’ll see my thoughts on elsewhere on this page!The single-button operation is easy and the button itself sits on the front of the unit so is easy to locate.

I love this combination of bobbin head and cord and it literally covers all scenarios with the exception, maybe, of when fishing in high winds. There are two lengths of cord available and I have used both, but favour the shorter one. With Cygnet’s Kippa Clips I can fish slack or tight lines at a variety of heights, so I find the shorter ones ample. If you’re really into ultra-slack-line fishing, which I’m not, then you might prefer the longer cords.

The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: Everything you could possibly need to sharpen hooks to pinpoint sharpness, something that is extremely important for ultra rig efficiency and that can be the difference between hooking a fish or not. The kit comprises two stone files plus handle, one diamond file, an innovative deluxe hand vice, an LED magnifier and comes supplied in a high-quality case that gives additional storage space for items such as hooks, needles, grease and so on. LEE JACKSON’s VERDICT -“If you’re into hook sharpening then get one. If you’re not, then you should be!” 8/10 £59.

The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: This is an ideal piece of kit to have in your tackle bag for cleaning up spots quickly to make bait presentation more efficient. Measuring 9. 5 centimetres wide, weighing in at 31/4oz and with five spikes on either side, this weed rake is ideal for dragging up low-lying weed, bottom debris and generally cleaning up spots of rotting leaves, dead weed and suchlike. Although its weight dictates that it can be easily cast using the average carp rod with 12 to 15lb main line, bearing in mind the weight of the weed that is sometimes being dragged in, it is more advisable to use a rod with a higher test curve, such as a spod rod, and in conjunction with braided main line around 30lb breaking strain.

The Tackle Box’s Lee Jackson says: It’s nice to see this product back on the market because it makes stripping line from spools child’s play. Designed to be used in conjunction with a cordless drill, simply tie the line to be stripped to it, squeeze the trigger on the drill and away you go. Another nice feature is that once the line is stripped, simply untwist the cap and the old. LEE JACKSON’s VERDICT “An inventive solution that makes that dreaded job of spooling up so much easier.

LEE JACKSON SAYS: When I first saw this product at the Korda trade show I must admit to thinking that it was the simplest, most innovative and best new product on show. Apart from when I’ve used an adjustable zig, it’s always been a bit of a bugbear of mine avoiding getting the hook/hook bait snagged up in the undergrowth, on the ground or ending up casting out with a leaf or twig impaled on my hook. The clue’s in the name I suppose – a hook hooks into things! Prior to the Zig Magnet coming out I’d always placed my hook bait in a cup or suchlike prior to casting, which is sometimes a bit hit and miss. There’s no need now, though, because this clever yet simple invention can be screwed onto a bankstick, adjusted to the required height and has a swivelling magnetic disc on the top for holding the hook off the ground prior to casting.
