Korda Stow Indicators
Price: Stow heads £6.99
Complete bobbin set: £19.99
Korda has released the second generation of Stow Indicators. The new bobbins stay faithful to the original straight Stix Elstow design, but with an upgraded line clip and a much improved full-colour, translucent, light-refractive body.
The side-mounted clip now features an internal spring to hold the line in position positively without any risk of damaging it.
Offering highly sensitive visual indication, this indicator is great for margin or distance fishing with both slack and tight lines.
To get the best from the system, the indicator must drop from the line when you get a run – this is controlled by the length of chain extension between indicator and bite alarm.
The complete bobbin pack includes two different lengths of chain extension, which locate with magnets into the Stow Stix. As a rough guide, Delkims and alarms of this size are best suited to the short extension, while smaller alarms like Nevilles and ATTs are ideal for use with the long extension.
Chub Transporter Barrow
The Chub Transporter barrow provides excellent load carrying capacity. The large pneumatic wheel is quick and easy to attach and will cope with rough and uneven ground. The adjustable front bar allows you to place heavy items over the wheel which provides greater stability and makes it much easier to push. The barrow is more than large enough to carry all your tackle and comes supplied with an under barrow bag and two elastic straps to hold everything in place.
RRP: £109.99
Browning Quantum Exofil
Ideal for use with all light lures and drop shotting techniques, Browning’s Quantum Exofil is a hi-tech monofilament reel line with a Nano Fluorocarbon coating. This creates an ultra-smooth and abrasion-resistant surface. Made from the highest quality Japanese materials, this superb line has faultless linear and knot strength. The inside core is a molecular compressed compound, which basically reduces its stretch and helps to prevent it spinning-up.
Sizes 0.12mm-0.45mm, on 300m spools.
Price: £13.99-£24.99
Fox Edges PVA Bag Rigs
The perfect length for use with solid PVA bags, these rigs are made with Fox’s ultra-sharp Arma Point SSBP and SSBP (barbless) hooks. Each pack of two incorporates the very supple Edges Reflex Hooklength braid, one in Light Camo and one in Dark Camo. Edges Trans Khaki Micro Line Alignas go over the eye of the hook to ensure it turns quickly into the fish’s mouth. A short length of Trans Khaki Hook Silicon is used on the hook shank to trap the hair in place, with a Trans Khaki Micro Anti Tangle Sleeve completing the set-up.
Hook sizes are again matched to line breaking strains, and can be attached to the swivel of an Edges Ready-tied Leader via a loop-to-loop connection.

Drennan Carp 1 and Carp 2 Pole Floats
Drennan's latest Carp 1 and Carp 2 pole floats to their ranges are built with strength in mind, and the high grade balsa bodies will take a good loading of shot.
An ultra-tough acrylic paint finish all but does away with the likelihood of the mainline cutting into the float’s body, and black stainless spring eyes won’t pinch the line when it’s under tension.
A securely bonded carbon stem and hollow plastic Glow Tip with strengthening spigot add still more to the durability of these floats. The Carp 1 is of a slim, body-down oval shape with a medium length 1.5mm diameter hollow tip. The Carp 2’s thicker 1.7mm tip allows you to drag some line along the bottom, and is banded to help with bite detection. Eight sizes from 0.1g up to 1.0g are available with red-black-yellow or yellow-black-yellow banded tips.
Price: £1.75

Nash R3 Receiver
The Nash R3 Receiver precisely replicates the R3 alarm’s Intelligent Sensing – as well as offering bleep-for-bleep tone reproduction even in difficult swims or around obstacles.
It works at distances of 400m or more from the rods, so you can be sure the radio signal between your alarms and the remote won’t be compromised.
There’s a four-channel, one-touch pairing with R3 alarm heads plus a clever additional fifth channel to programme in your mate’s alarms, which is very handy if you always fish together.
As you’d expect, there are adjustable volume, vibration and mute functions, and a four colour lens option pack allows the receiver to be customised to match any LED colour on the alarm heads. The receiver is powered by one CR123A 3V battery.
An anti-theft warning alarm, a very useful feature in these wicked times, tops off an impressively high list of specifications.
The high-impact soft touch case has waterproof gasket seals to maximise waterproofing.
Price: £129.99
Nash Siren R3 Bite Alarm
Having spent the past couple of weekends attending packed angling shows, and seeing the crowds flocking around the Nash stand, there is little doubt in my mind that the latest Nash Siren R3 bite alarm system is going to sell like crazy.
The alarms themselves have integral rubberised snag ears and feature ‘Intelligent Sensing’ microchip technology to eliminate false indications while giving you an insight into what’s actually happening in your swim.
To keep the technical jargon to a minimum, this sensing system is based around changes of speed in the movement of the line. You’ll suffer no more irritating bleeps from wind, undertow, weed and variable currents when fishing in running water or lakes with a heavy tow.
Best of all, there won’t be any nagging doubts over the those unexplained single bleeps that have dogged all carp anglers ever since electronic bite alarms came on the scene.
The R3 has an extreme working range of more than 400m, and while I would never encourage anyone to leave their rods unattended, or indeed be anywhere near that distance away from them, the strength of thee radio signal can be critical when the rods are not in a clear line of sight, or surrounded by dense foliage.
Price: £109 per head
Maver S4 Z Frame Seatbox Black & White
Maver has added this stunning looking black and white seatbox to its Z Frame range. It looks quite different to any other box you’ll see on the bank, but the distinctive frame and four-leg configuration combine to produce a rock-solid and frighteningly strong parking space for your bum that will survive years of being lugged about in sheds, garages and the backs of vans.
Made from ultra-light aircraft grade aluminium, the box features a European-patented four-leg system remains stable even when you stand up. It’s all down to a no-nonsense design and top grade materials coupled with quality Continental engineering.
Now available in four colours – Maver green, mango, orange, black or white – this is a box that will get you noticed, and without the middle set of legs that you’d find on a conventional box you’re left with room to swing your legs around when fishing down the edge on commercial waters.
Levelling is achieved via handwheels that lock into place with non-slip compression blocks. Built-in spirit levels will let you know once the box is dead level.
The Z Frame is also equipped with unobtrusive half legs for attaching trays and arms, plus a sliding non-slip cassette footplate, 30mm round legs, pivoting locking mudfeet and a pole-style gel seat. Beneath this is a winder tray, and that brings us nicely to one of the main considerations when buying a seatbox – storage.
Three set-ups are on offer with the Z Frame – a twin front and single cross drawer, double cross drawer or twin front drawer and double winder tray. To this you can add from the massive range of separate S4 trays.
To finish, a sliding module sat on runners beneath the main top unit has a single 50mm tray, to which more can be added.
The Z Frame comes complete with accessories worth over £150, including a pole spraybar, side tray, umbrella arm and short keepnet arm.
Price: £699.99
