Huge pair of mirrors banked during festive session for a total of over 88lb. This Christmas break saw one carper receive a present he’ll never forget after a session on a quiet Berkshire stillwater produced a massive brace of 40lb mirrors. Fishing a three night session, David Herridge – boss of Gloucester tackle shop The Carp Den – was just looking for a few runs during his time on the bank. But with a strong south westerly blowing into his face and much warmer than average conditions he was confident that, if he played his tactics right, he could end up with plenty more.

DAY TWELVE: WIN A SUPERB FOX FLATLINER BEDCHAIR WORTH £299Here we are, the final day in our Christmas countdown and what a brilliant individual prize we have to rounds things off. The Fatliner is the ultimate in bedchair design, and boasts the revolutionary flip cam system which allows the hand wheel to be rotated beneath the bedchair once setup, creating more usable space on the mattress. The 50mm thick mattress sits perfectly flat, which is incredibly effective in increasing comfort and the Twist-Lok legs and feet allow this to be maintained on all surfaces. Complete, all-round elastication improves support and the double-hinged lower section allows most sleeping bags to be folded away inside the bed in between trips.

Featuring a character called Ollie there are several very funny ads to watch on the firm’s You Tube channel – we particularly like ‘Ollie won’t be in today’. Plus Ollie’s also sprung a new Facebook page complete with an arcade style fishing game.

DAY SIX: WIN 7METRES OF SUPERB ARMAMESH HOOK BAIT PROTECTOR WORTH £25Like on day three, we’re cheating a little bit here as not only are we giving away 7metres of Armamesh, we’re also chucking in a 7metre refill spool. Armamesh is growing more and more popular as crayfish become a bigger problem in many UK waters. Although similar in appearance, this is not PVA. It is, however, an ultra tough mesh stocking, which comes on a tube, which you use to mesh-up your baits to ward off the unwanted attentions of nuisance species.
