7 mugs to have in your brew kit
Carpy mugs are filling our Instagram feed - and here are seven of the best...
Drinking tea from a culty mug is right up there with bucket hats and folded reel handles in terms of carpiness and so it's important to have the right brew vessel. Here are just seven that we see in our Instagram feed over and over again. So many mugs. You can never have too many, right?!
On The Beaten Track: Death Rig Mug
These mugs are literally flying out the door - it's not unusual for 230 of these to sell out in half an hour - and it's easy to see why. These matt black mugs feature a gold skull made up of terminal tackle - look closely and you'll see the leads and rigs which make up the design.
'GIMME': £6.99
CC Moore: More Brews More Socials
A simple black and white design from our friends at CC Moore. The mug of choice for James Armstrong.
'GIMME': £6.49
Mark Pitchers: Brew Time, That's Carpy!
Make brew time on the bank (or off the bank) even more carpy with a carpy brew time mug thanks to Mr Carpy himself, Mark Pitchers. Star of In Pursuit Of Carpiness Mark collaborated with artist Craig Stannard for the design (check out stannart on Instagram, his drawings are epic).
'GIMME': £7.99
Sub Surface: Diver Mug
This is something of a collectors item now as this limited edition, UK screen printed mug is no longer in production. Over the years Sub Surface have produced numerous eye catching designs and they seem to becoming more and more popular. Keep your eye on subsurfacejournal on Instagram and the link below for future Sub Surface mugs.
CARPology Mug
*Insert shameless plug for Ology mug here*
Well it wouldn't be right to have an article on mugs without including one of our own. You can pick up one of our super sleek black mugs featuring the script Ology logo from our online shop. Black not your colour? Take a look at our white design featuring the classic 'O' logo.
'GIMME': £5.99
Monkey Climber Yellow Ape Mug
If you've not heard of Monkey Climber where have you been?! Monkey Climber are an ultra carpy brand based in Belgium and this is one badass mug. It features their 'We all come from apes' design and comes in a vibrant yellow colour so you definitely won't lose it. You can get hold of one of these mugs for just €8.50 plus €9.31 shipping to the UK. This might sound steep, but you've got Brexit to thank for that...
'GIMME:': €8.50
Aperture Collective SSJ X 'Ology
And here's probably the carpiest mug of all - the Aperture Collective SSJ X 'Ology mug. These aren't available to just anyone. We've been collaborating with the awesome guys over at Sub Surface since 2014. Each quarter we print the best images submitted to the Aperture Collective project in our magazine to celebrate some alternative angles in the carp scene. If you're lucky enough to get a picture printed, Sub Surface will send you one of these limited edition mugs.
