The new Dynamite Baits Banana Nut Crunch Boilies , Hookbait Dip and Pop Ups were developed by Terry Hearn and feature a crunchy banana and chopped nut base with a creamy banana flavoured attractant.

We have a couple of interesting new products, the new JRC Digital Scales and Dave Lanes’ new book A Flick Of The Tail. First we have the JRC Digital Scales which are a nice carpy green colour and weigh up to 100lb. They have a nightlight and memory function so you can record weights. The JRC Digital Scales are very reasonably priced and amazingly a padded scales pouch is included in that price. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link.
The long awaited sequel to Dave Lanes first book is now available. The new book A Flick Of The Tail continues on from the first and details Daves’ adventures at Conningbrook, St. Ives, The Secret Mere plus many more. Dave has mellowed a bit but the obsession still burns. Again for more information or to purchase please follow the above link.

The Solar Quick Change PVA Bag System is ideal for anglers who use PVA bags for the majority of their angling. The system will ensure you don’t lose the bag on the cast while improving casting distance and accuracy. The system is designed to be anti tangle and works with any inline lead.
For the purpose of this demonstration I used a Korda Flat Pear Inline Lead, Solar Contour Super Supple Rig Tubing and Korda Size 8 Ring Swivels was used between the helicopter beads for the rig to be attached to.

Step 1.
Thread your mainline through your desired length of the Solar rig tubing.

Step 2.
Now thread 1 of the beads provided with the Solar PVA System onto the rig tubing followed by the Korda Ring Swivel followed by another bead. If you’re using mainline straight through there is silicone tubing provided for the beads to the grip. If you’re using leadcore then please ensure all beads can be pulled free of the leader to ensure the lead will be lost in the event of your line breaking. Tie or loop your hooklink to the ring swivel.

Step 3.
Now thread on one of the sleeves provided and push the tubing securely inside.

Step 4.
Then gently push the insert out of your choosen inline……

…..and thread it onto your mainline.

Step 5.
Tie a Figure Of Eight Loop Knot in the end of your mainline and attach the Solar quick change PVA bag clip like so.

Step 6.
Now pull the lead over the clip followed by the sleeve and rig tubing. The finished setup should look like this.

All you have to do to attach a PVA bag is to pull the clip out of the bottom of the lead and hook a PVA bag on before pulling the clip back inside the lead. Then just thread the hook through the mesh of the bag and your ready to cast out.





This set up is particularly well suited to adding freebies with the Mag Aligner Rig and really comes into it’s own during the winter months.
Give it a go.

The Atomic Tackle Maggot Rig uses the inline lead setup fished helicopter style allowing a large PVA stocking of maggots to be tied to the swivel at the base of the lead. This enables the hook to be secured to the PVA stocking so once cast out the PVA bag will melt leaving your maggot hookbait lying in amongst the other maggots.

For the purpose of the demonstration I used a Gardner Readymade Mag Aligner Rig.

Step 1.
Pull out the large ring swivel from the base of the lead.

Step 2.
Now thread your mainline through the lead. ( If using leadcore or a leader, you will need to splice or loop the swivel on)

Step 3.
Tie your mainline to the swivel, I would suggest a palomar knot. To tie a palomar knot double over your mainline and pass it through the eye of your swivel.

Then tie an overhand knot with the doubled over mainline.

Now pass the swivel through the loop made by the overhand knot.

Then moisten the knot, slowly tighten it down and trim the tag end.

Step 4.
Once the knot is tied pull the swivel into the insert in the base of the lead.

Step 5.
Now you need to either tie your rig to the swivel above the lead. If the rig has a loop in the end pass the loop through the swivel before passing the hookend of the rig through the loop and tightening as I’ve done in this demonstration.

The finished rig should look like this.

The large ring at the base of the lead is for the PVA mesh bag to be tied to, then all you need to do is push the hook through the PVA mesh to secure it for casting.
Give it a go.

The MCF Dumper Lead Clip is a very clever and innovative lead clip that is guaranteed to drop the lead in the event of a fish snagging or weeding you up. The tapered sleeves incorporated in this lead clip system help to minimise tangles. This Carp Catchers Blog will show you step by step how to set it up.

These can be set-up with any form of leader or tubing but for the purpose of this demonstration I used a ready spliced leadcore leader.
Step 1.
Using a bait needle thread the small rubber sleeve onto your leader or tubing.

Step 2.
Now you need to pass your spliced leader loop through the metal loop on the lead clip. Or tie on your mainline with your rig tubing already threaded on (Miss steps 3 and 4).

Step 3.
Then pass the lead clip through the loop in the end of your leader.

Step 4.
Pull the leader to secure the loop around the metal loop.

Step 5.
Push the small rubber sleeve over the metal loop.

Step 6.
Now push a baiting needle through the longer sleeve from next to the metal hook out of the tapered end and latch the baiting needle onto your choosen rig.

Step 7.
Once you’ve pulled your hooklink through loop it over the metal hook.

Step 8.
To finish the setup pull the hooklink tight and clip on a lead.

The lead should not eject on a normal force cast, however if a distance cast is required I would suggest securing the lead in place with PVA tape.
If you are using rig tubing then adapt the instructions accordingly.
