The J Range Pellet Pump offers very good value for money at £14.99 and it does exactly what it says on the box! The compact design makes it ideal to store in your carryall and the pump fits inside the container which I find useful. The .88L capacity makes it large enough not only to make enough expanders but it is an ideal size for storing unused casters. *Makes expanders sink in seconds *Ideal for...
Spro Landing NetI have recently started using this new float pan net from SPRO and I have to say my initial impressions are that it is very good. The net has two pieces of compressed rubber foam on the spreader bars and this stops the net from sinking in the water. It is an idea that I have seen in use on specimen angler’s nets, whilst the rubber does not stop the net from fully sinking, it does...
This is a handy little item that has just been released from The Mosella stable. A loop tyer that incorporates a slamo type disgorger! When using loops in your main line it’s vitally important that you get them right as any weak point in the line can result in a lost fish. This tool will also make sure that you get the maximum knot strength whilst forming perfect loops every time! Available from...
Preston Innovations Hollo is probably one of the most popular elastics avaliable among anglers who fish commercial fisheries. Endorsed by anglers such as Des Shipp, Tommy Pickering, Steve Sanders and Lee Kerry, this range has probably tamed more carp than any other hollow elastic on the market. Its unique design means that it can stretch further and is softer on the strike than conventional...
Earlier this year, Mosella introduced the micro pellet band which in my view has completely revolutionised the Bandabait tool making this a must have piece of kit for every coarse or match angler! The micro band is the smallest latex band on the market and it is made from high grade latex. It allows the angler to band pellets from 3mm to 12 mm, the smallest pellet does not look out of place on this...
The Mosella Bandabait tool is not new device; it came on the market about 18 months ago and was an immediate success. As the below video demonstrates, by putting a pellet band over the four prongs and pressing a button the band opened up allowing anglers to easily put a pellet into the band. It is a brilliant device for those with large fingers who found it difficult to band pellets. It is also very...
I never thought I would be able to write about bread being a new bait but Mosella have allowed me to do so! Magic bread is the name of this new wonder bait and it comes in three flavours, strawberry, vanilla and natural. The bread is 100% natural product but it has been completely dried following baking and is supplied in a 50gram loaf. Its appearance is similar to that of a florist’s block that...

They stock a wide range of products, from rods and reels to clothing, accessories and lures. there products are becoming increasingly popular on both the commercial and specimen fishing world.

The new Trabucco Genius XPS M1 Competition seat box is Trabucco’s top of the range seat box. The box is made of aluminium and fibre glass and is Trabucco’s answer to the popular modular system. The new Trabucco XPS M1 Competition Seatbox definitely looks the part.Its got a nice backside too !! I received mine about two months ago after having a Milo M800 for about 6 years. That box never let...
Check out this new side-line rolling swivel from Cralusso its brilliant! I use it in conjunction with the pellet waggler and the straight lead. It incorporates a swivel and a quick change device for hook lengths in one! What could be simpler? Size 8 is the one for me and it has been tested to 19kg so it is strong enough for most aspects of coarse fishing. What’s more it only costs 1.99 for six. Trade...
Pellet waggler fishing is one of my favourite methods for catching carp. The main criteria for a good pellet waggler in my humble opinion is that it is strong and will stand up to being thrashed about in and around the landing net, it is unloaded and it sits up in the water as soon as it lands. Over the years I’ve used a few different types and at one stage even made my own in the bigger sizes up...
I have been using these waggler attachments for the last 12 months and have found them to be a very good product. They do exactly what they say on the packet! The beauty about them is that they come in two different weights that enable you to trim your waggler using the attachment. The attachment is very light as carbon is used in its manufacture. Cralusso have recently added a new and unique version...
Hollow elastics are all the rage at the moment, and few are more hard wearing or better value for money than the J Range Lastix range. From the light pink elastic which is rated 3-6 and is ideal for skimmer fishing, to the altogether more brutal 19-21 red elastic for munter hauling, there really is something in the range to suit every eventuality. All sizes are £8.99 including postage and packaging. Sizes ...
I first received some Cralusso pole floats in June 2007 and was impressed with them from the start. The floats looked like that they would suit my style of fishing both for carp and silver fishing on the bagging waters in Cornwall. I have been using them now for 10 months and have not been disappointed.The Capri float is both strong and durable, they are built to last It is also been long enough to...
Most of us these days carry a coolbag or two especially in the summer. This new coolbag from Trabucco won’t revolutionise fishing but it is a nice looking bit of kit, is foil lined to keep the air in and the best thing I think about it is the hand sized opening for easy access without having to unzip the whole bag. It also has sturdy carry straps. You can find more details on the whole Platinum...
Warwickshire siblings Pete and Steve Randle are the men in charge of the East Midlands distribution network for bait giants Sensas. Fishing4Fun joined the brothers plus the man who handed them the reins after nearly 20 years – Starlets ace Joe Roberts – for a session at Meadowlands Fishery near Coventry. The sound of splashing and sight of swirls in the margins of Meadowlands’ Warren...
Its nice to review new tackle but until an item of tackle has been tried and tested it is in my view an unknown quantity. I thought I’d start off with something small for my first review so I picked the little organiser box below. I like to keep all my swivels, beads and snap links in boxes such as the one shown. The ones I’ve got is as shown but I had a quick trawl round the internet and...
Every now and then and a new idea comes into the fishing arena that really help us get the most from our sport. In recent years I can recall hollow elastic, the pull bung, pellet wagglers and the lollypop flat float to name a few, these have now stood the of time and our now permanently in our armoury. Initially anglers took a little time to realise the benefits of these fantastic ideas but now they...
