For whatever reason, Trakker fell off my radar a little in recent years, which is a shame given that I used to be very close to the Sheffield-based company a few years back.
I remember receiving what was then the first production version of the then-famous and brand-new Pioneer.
I loved it, and pictures of yours truly reviewing it in Total Carp adorned the walls of Trakker headquarters for several years.
So, when Trakker’s Gary Hood (a former DHP colleague) brought the Tempest brolly to the office and asked me to use it for a while on the bank I was extremely excited.
As the modern trend has seen numerous companies launch black bankware over the last year or two, there is still no shortage of decent stainless-steel stuff out there.
The Precision gear from Chub boasts a comprehensive range of banksticks and buzz bars, as well as a few accessories. It’s very well made and feels as solid and sturdy as you’d expect from stainless.
It’s also relatively inexpensive too – albeit proper stainless does carry a bigger price tag than, say, aluminium stuff.

Water butts are an important piece of kit for all anglers but there’s always the age-old problem when trying to fill a single cup or kettle because the water spits and spurts as you pour.
By screwing on the supplied removable tap it allows you to use the container much more efficiently, ensuring the flow is immediate and controlled. The water butt can be bought in a five-litre, 10-litre or 15-litre capacity, catering for quick overnight stays or longer three to four-day durations.
The largest of the three also features an extra-large filling hole, making them a doddle to replenish, especially from a smaller water container.
Dual-purpose weigh sling and short-term retainer
Standard and large versions
Full-length zip and safety clip
Meshed sides for improved water flow
Full-length floats for increased buoyancy

In this day and age, a key to being a successful angler is often versatility, fishing different waters, styles and even lengths of sessions.
Well at Nash this has very much been the foresight for the most recent of product launches and the Cube Ruckall is an excellent example.
Either being used as a traditional rucksack for the angler on the move or a foldout carryall for the longer-session angler, the low-key flat profile suits it to being stashed away under the bedchair or conveniently on the barrow.
Separating into three sections, it is ideal for versatile storage options.
