Classic Carp Calendar 2022
Perhaps the best gift is one you can use and admire for 365 days of the year. An iconic carp for each month of the year, from Clarissa to Black Mirror, to the Bishop and Mary, each is lovingly painted in rich, detailed colour by artist, Colin Eaton. Key moon phases are featured, as are maps and venue information of where these incredible carp once lived (or live in the case of The Burghfield Common). Plus, as a Christmas bonus, a large proportion of the calendars have been personally signed by Chris Yates! Order from ‘CarpArt Fine Art Prints’ Facebook page.

Keyrings and Fridge Magnets
The perfect companion for your syndicate or club keys. Choose from all 12 of beautifully painted carp in the Classic Carp series, which come finished in 50 x 40mm acrylic with a 25mm ring. £2.99 and again available from CarpArt FB page.

Limited Edition Lucy’s Bowl Pop-Ups 
A special pop-up for a very special event. To mark this year’s 10th anniversary of Lucy’s Bowl (p62), founder Keith Sykes and Nashbait’s Gary Bayes have merged their amazing bait knowledge to produce these washed-out pink pop-ups. The duo have blended a combination of proved—and sometimes forgotten—attactors that are only available via them. The old school anglers amongst you will be delighted to know these 15mm pop-ups contain essential oils, esters and the infamous Milk B, which Keith himself made famous in the early 80s. Head over to Lucy’s Bowl for Guide Dogs Facebook page to order some.
