Total Carp Staff

We like this! The reel market has to be the most difficult to make your mark in, such has been the dominance of Shimano and Daiwa over the years. However, several companies are now finding that their products, when they get them right, are currying favour with lots of carp anglers. Having not been a huge fan of the earlier Stratos that Fox produced, I am an absolute convert in my belief since the release of the FX11 and, now, the scaled-down FX9. I have not used or tested the bigger Fox reels (12000XT and so on) so cannot comment on those, but the FX11 is an impressive performer and this follows in that reel’s footsteps.

We love these! RidgeMonkey’s sandwich toaster has been an absolute revelation and, although we don’t know exactly how many have been sold, we reckon that if their Instagram accounts are anything to go by, more anglers own one than don’t! With twice the capacity of the original you can cook almost anything in one. It boasts the same spec, including fluoropolymer, non-stick coating and it’s extremely easy to clean. Basically, I want one. .
