As with any angler I obviously bait up, whether I am in the boat, wading down the margins, or using a throwing stick, one piece of kit that has made my life easier is the Skorpion Bait Pouch. With a generous capacity of over 2kg of boilies, depending on size of course, the pouch fits comfortably around my waist leaving both hands free for either quicker loading or for lowering my rig. Even when walking around I still have it on me; a catapult in the elasticated slot, a few boilies in the bag and I can happily bait my way around the lake with a view to returning and checking the spots. A Velcro’d removable liner makes it easy to clean or equally separate baits if you need to.

There is no disputing that Costa knows a thing or two when it comes to quality sunglasses and these are exactly that. With superior lenses and stylish frame to match, the Fantail Camo 580 is the cream of the crop. Finished with a Realtree frame and bright orange Costa logo, the frame prevents light ingress from the sides, which often impairs your vision. Boasting small rubber grips on the arms help to keep them planted to your head when wondering around on the bank.

Designed with the trend for more fashionable styling in angling sunglasses in mind, these will appeal to the image-conscious carp angler. Available in two colourways – brown lens/brown frame and grey lens/charcoal frame – they boast an appearance that is a far cry from the old polarised glasses that many of us used to use. Scratch resistant, TAC polarised lenses offer clear viewing through even choppy water, removing much of the reflection from the water’s surface. They also offer UV400 protection and come complete with EVA case and cleaning cloth.

The full name for these is Last Meter Safety Clip QC Link Hollow Leaders, which is a bit of a mouthful, but explains what they are. There are different leader versions available and one of two other variations but this is the one I’ve had a play with. The leader sinks slowly, settling nicely over bottom debris, and the lead clips work well. The pack also includes anti-tangle sleeves for the rig and even small link loops to attach the end of the rig.

From dumpy pears, Hex distance, grippers to minute pink back leads, yes you heard me, pink back leads, Donk Leadz do them all. With the aim to offer a service to meet the angler’s needs no matter if you are fishing a lowland estate lake or highly pressured gravel pit, they do have a coating to suit. We have seen several versions of the craftsmanship and we are very impressed indeed, especially with the weed effect and peat versions, which look like they will easily take on liquids and substrate colour. The dark swivels are a nice addition to finish the lead off and, although some may say it’s pedantic, it’s my preference to be as subtle as possible.

The name of this great luggage item does it no justice because it’s really so much more than just for keeping PVA in. I’ve had one of the smaller versions for some time and use it to store all manner of items, but this bigger one is exactly the size that I prefer. In fact, I reckon I can probably fit all of my terminal tackle, PVA, leads and extras needed for all but the longest sessions. This is an absolute winner and proof positive that the best products don’t always need to be the big stuff.

Designed after the huge success of RidgeMonkey’s Action Station, these new adaptors are made with alternative uses in mind. The first will hold an action camera (GoPro and so on) and either screw into a bankstick or attach to the Action Station clamp (depending on which model you go for). The second one, my favourite, houses the RidgeMonkey bivvy light and, again, allows attachment to a bankstick or bivvy frame via the clamp. This opens up a world of uses for the light, some of which we are already experimenting with.
