A couple of new bits from Atomic Tackle this time. The Atomic Stiffun  is a stiff coated comb-link hooklink material. It has a transluscent, matt finish stiff outer coating and a dual colour camouflage inner braid which will blend in with most lakebeds. I have tried this myself, when steamed it really does go stiff!!! For more information or to purchase please click on the above link. The Atomic Bombz Away Lead Clip is a new lead system that does not rely on a moulded arm to hold the lead. The metal clip which secures the lead is independent of the lead clip body and runs along a track inside the main body. The Bombz Away Lead Clip allows you to drop the lead if the fish becomes snagged but eliminates the problem of the lead sometimes jettisoning on the cast.

Some new products from Korda this time. The new Korda Mouth Trap is a purposely designed chod hooklink. It is much easier to use than other chod hooklinks and does not need steaming to shape it. Mouth Trap has a really carpy olive tint to it which makes it blend in really well. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link. The Korda Kontour Fluorocarbon Mainline has been in developement for three years. It sinks like a brick, has high abrasion resistance and casts exceptionally well. Kontour is very soft in comparison to other fluorocarbon mainlines making it very user friendly. Due to its true knot strength, Kontour will be strong and reliable. The Korda Solidz PVA Bags  are manufactured at Korda to stringent specifications using the highest film available. The Solidz PVA Bags have a virtually neutral PH, melt rapidly are extremely robust and come with a Free Bag Loader. There is zero residue when the Solidz melt and they are completely aroma free. They come in four sizes so should be suitable for most baiting situations. Finally we have the Korda Skywinder Spod which is a modified version of Skyraider Spod. The Skywinder is designed as a boilie rocket or to deliver maggots at range. For more information or to purchase any of the above please click on the links.

We now have in stock what I think are probably the most advanced bite alarms on the market. The ACE I3 Bite Alarm comes packed with features such as the patent pending dual sensing TGS System which can detect line movement or just vibration and is capable of detecting even the slightest of movements on both settings. One of the cleverest innovations of the ACE I3 Bite Alarm is the function button located on the side at the top of the alarm. Once pressed the function button switches the alarm off, so you can set your alarms without all that annoying bleeping, after a couple of minutes the function button switches the alarm back on so you never have to worry whether you’ve switched them back on or not. I have a set of the I3′s and they do not seem to be as affected by the wind as other alarms. These bite alarms have so many features please follow the above link to view the full specs or to purchase.

The ACE I3 Receiver  is also packed with innovations such as a reliable system that will perform no matter what tress or undergrowth are between the receiver and alarms. It has IRAS which is (Intelligent Alarm Recognition System) make any changes to your alarm and your receiver automatically updates the settings. It also has as standard a belt clip, bivvy table stand and magnetic bivvy holder. To see full specs or to purchase please click on the above link.
