Awesome!There are a few underwater cameras available these days but none that can do what the FishSpy does, and that is to beam live pictures back to your phone or device in real time. What’s even more impressive is that it does so without the need for any phone signal, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi because it creates its own Wi-Fi signal unique to each unit and synced device. So, how does it work? Well, in layman’s terms, you cast it out as you would a marker float and let it up to the surface, at which point it will begin connection to the synced device. Once connection is established you can live view exactly what the camera sees.

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.

UK Exclusive First Review! The improved version of Prologic’s Frame-X bivvy, I first got a glimpse of the X1 at Carp In The Park, but then more recently I saw it properly while out on the 7 Top Tips shoot with Prologic-backed Rik Johnson this month. I was immediately impressed by how quickly the innovative X-Frame design allowed Rik to set it up, literally a few seconds, even quicker than a pram-hood design. Once up, it was also absolutely drum tight and extremely solid. Even my efforts to shake the life out of it saw the X1 barely yield an inch.

Carbon sticks are all the rage these days, and why not. The originals were ultra-expensive but these days they are more within the range of the everyday carper. The price, as with most things, can reflect the quality, but the mid-range stuff coming out these days is impressive and these Vendas are a good example. I like the fact that they’re made in two sizes, suited to different ranges.

There’s no shortage of companies selling sunglasses these days and Hobo Armour is one such firm that seems to be doing a good job of it. With a line-up of six frame and lens combinations, all with a fashionable take, there’s surely something for most anglers in the range. When we had these in the office, interestingly, each of the TC staff chose a different version as their favourite. Mine was the clear frame with blue lens, which I thought looked pretty funky! Brown/brown, white/black, frosted/gold, black/aqua and black/blue complete the collection.
