Spotted Fin Chilli Hemp
Even the best pellets and boilies in the world can sometimes do with a quick splash of liquid to make them even more attractive, and here you have one of the finest - and most natural. To make this, Spotted add their own blend of chillies to the oil, which is then gently heated. Once cooled, it’s decanted into glass bottles with dried whole chillies and left for a month.

Avid Carp Leads
Avid’s history with lead design is strong. They innovated the grooved in-line for drop-off fishing, along with flattened PVA bag leads. This collection, which comes in four designs, comes with loads of clever features. Built-in double ring swivels to reduce line twists and tangles. A two-layered, super tough, matt, translucent outer coating. And they come in sizes 1.5 to 4oz.

Dynamite Baits Tiger Nuts
Of all the bait companies operating in the UK right, it seems quite fitting that Dynamite Baits should produce the best - and most comprehensive - range of tiger nuts. The Nottingham-based firm were the first to produce ready-to-use tigers back in 2002, and today they still prepare regular tigers, chopped tigers and mini tiger nuts.

Rod Hutchinson Limited Edition Flavours
This legendary brand produces many liquid flavours under its ‘Legend Flavour’ collection, but it hoards its very finest for its ‘Limited Edition’ range. Predictably, falling under this umbrella are flavour heavyweights such as Nouvelle Fizz, Fruit Frenzy and Autumn Harvest.

Ditch the traditional whippings: carbon is the way forward. Banana Rods has developed a new whipping technology which brings a number of advantages.

When we think of JRC, we think of the Cocoon Bedchair - one of the first fully adjustable beds on the market. Now the Northern-based brand is launching the Defender Levelbed, a bed with the very latest design features that rivals all the other top offerings, but in true JRC style, the price tag won’t give you a heart attack.

Okuma 8K Reel
Okuma, one of the world’s largest reel manufacturers, are practically showing off with their new 8K reel.

get into the gubbins), and a ton more great stuff which is all packaged within its
matt black exterior.

Nutrabaits BFM: Krill & Cranberry+
The latest liquid from Nutrabaits uses two of the greatest carp attractors of all-time - krill and cranberry. It’s a multi-usage liquid too: use it as a glug, create Method/Stick mixes, poured into spod mixes, glaze pellets - you name it, this bloody well darn does it.

DT Baits Pukka Fish with Oily Chicken
This combo is just about as good as it gets when it comes to boiled food.

Mixed with that rare savoury chicken flavour and you’ve got a serious banger on your hands. Frozen, shelf-life, pop-ups, hard hookbaits and liquids all available.
