Carp Catchers Blog

For those of you who dare to brave the banks during the colder months it is worth baring in mind that equipment can freeze up, especially those items left outside your bivvy/shelter. The one item of tackle which you don’t want to fail you during the long dark nights is your bite alarms. With most bite alarms operating by a magnet roller it is possible for these to freeze which would mean a disaster should you get a run during the night and your alarm fails to signal a pick-up. A small bottle of Glycerol (Basically an anti-freeze) is all that is needed to prevent such items freezing up. Simply apply a thin layer around the roller during sessions where temperatures could well freeze them up. It can easily be wiped off when it is no longer needed and it will save missing a run which at this time of year is very likely to have been hard earned.

It can also be used for your rod rings to prevent your lines freezing to them. You should be able to get Glycerol from Boots or your local chemist

The new ATTS Bite Alarms and Nash Box Logic TT Rig Station have just come in. These babies will make the Ideal christmas presents for carpers everywhere. I’ll do a short review on them below, for more details and to purchase them go to the main site via the links.

ATTS Bite Alarms – ATTx V2 Receiver

The New ATTS Bite Alarms are the ultimate tackle tarts item. However you don’t need to be a tackle tart to appreciate and make use of their unique features. The ATTS’s most unique feature is that it is the first silent alarm, the audible alarm is given by the ATTx V2 Remote receiver. There has been a lot in the media recently about sound travelling down the line and spooking the carp the ATTS will prevent this. The ATTS is the smallest bite alarm on the market and along with it’s silent function and matt black, soft rubber touch finish, the ATTS is the ultimate stealth alarm.

Nash Box Logic TT Rig Station

The Nash Box Logic TT Rig Station is absolutely brilliant, I’m just amazed that nobodys produced something like it before now. The TT Rig Station organises and stores all of your terminal tackle, PVA, marker floats, leads etc. The Rig Station also stores all of your rigs and comes supplied with 20 rig pins. The most ingenious part though is that the rig station is just that, it doubles as a work station where you can tie your rigs with everything to hand, you can even critically balance your hookbaits. Check this one out I don’t think you will be disappointed.
