NEW GEAR<br />
WITH<br />
MARC COULSON<br />
Carpfeed Tackle Editor<br />
Sticky Signature<br />
Squid Pop-ups<br />
£6.50<br />
www.stickybaits.com<br />
I must start this with a warning… do<br />
not open these in confined spaces or<br />
near your other half! They absolutely<br />
stink, as all good hookbaits should, but<br />
their pulling power has to be seen to<br />
be believed. Already having accounted<br />
for hundreds of carp during testing, the<br />
pungent squid hookbaits are now on<br />
sale in their finished form. Don’t leave<br />
home without at least a tub of these,<br />
in either of the three available sizes,<br />
12mm, 14mm and 16mm.<br />
Avid Carp<br />
Rucksack<br />
£34.99<br />
www.avidcarp.com<br />
FULLY compatible with Avid’s<br />
impressive ‘Tuned’ range of<br />
luggage, this new rucksack<br />
offers extreme versatility. It<br />
has multiple external pockets<br />
and enough room inside for all<br />
your angling kit. Twin loops on<br />
the exterior allow for a roving<br />
unhooking mat to be attached,<br />
making the<br />
rucksack ideal<br />
for the mobile<br />
angler.<br />
Nash Key Cray boilies<br />
Ridgemonkey<br />
VRH3000 Headtorch<br />
£49.99<br />
www.ridgemonkey.co.uk<br />
UNLIKE any other headtorch ever<br />
offered to the angling market, the<br />
VRH3000 is packed with features,<br />
including twin white and green light<br />
options, a water resistant body,<br />
rubberised outer, dual orientation<br />
and a unique USB charging facility.<br />
This makes it the only headtorch<br />
you’ll ever need and, for me, it’s<br />
worth every penny!<br />
From £6.99<br />
www.nashtackle.com<br />
IT SEEMS carp-bait launches are getting ever bigger these<br />
days, and the Key Cray has proved no exception.... after<br />
months of build up it’s finally here! The Key has already<br />
proved hugely popular and this new version is made with<br />
actual crayfish meal which, I understand, Nash even had to<br />
get a licence to use. It’s packed with carpy attractors and<br />
offers something genuinely different to the norm.<br />
Look out for plenty more Nash bait reviews in these pages<br />
as well as on www.carpfeed.com, soon.<br />
Prologic Spectrum HDC<br />
£29.99 (1,000m)<br />
www.prologicfishing.com<br />
With very little stretch and near<br />
invisiblity in water, Spectrum HDC<br />
retains a little more suppleness<br />
compared to some other fluorocarbon<br />
main lines. This makes it much better<br />
for casting compared to stiffer fluoros.<br />
Knot strength is also pretty decent and<br />
with a whopping 1,000m on each spool,<br />
it’s great value too!<br />
Solar Tackle<br />
Titanium Indicators<br />
£29.99<br />
www.solartackle.co.uk<br />
THESE highly-versatile indicators<br />
can be used for every style of fishing<br />
and at all ranges. The stiff-yetflexible<br />
arms can sit loose, or be<br />
used as springer arms for fishing<br />
tight lines at range. A quick-release<br />
end section fits into the hockey<br />
stick and the whole lot is superbly<br />
engineered from aero-grade metals<br />
and titanium.<br />
