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.

Awesome-smelling liquid additive and attractant Packed with aminos, proteins and minerals Multiple uses and applications Cannot be overdosed (carp love it!) £9. 99 WWW. SOLAR24-7. CO.

There are literally hundreds of shelters on the market, all of which offer some benefit or other, from ease of use, large floor space, small packed-away dimensions and all other manner of stuff to entice you to use them. However, Sonik has, thankfully, produced the XTI with one thing in mind – comfort. Let’s face it, that’s what a bivvy should primarily offer you, unless you’re the ‘take as little as you can’ travelling-type angler. With generous dimensions, a luxurious 20,000HD Armatek outer and solid three-rib construction, this will keep you happy through the very worst conditions.
