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 Clipis 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.

Okay so this is part 3 of which bivvy? In parts one and two we looked at advantages and disadvantages of brollys and shelters in this section we are going to look at carp fishing domes.
Domes
Domes are full blown bivvies providing maximum protection from the elements. The major difference between a bivvy and a dome is that the dome has a sewn in groundsheet, a good example is the new Trakker Armo Dome. The primary benefit of the sewn in groundsheet is that it denies access to all those creepy crawlies to a certain extent. The sewn in groundsheet does however make them a bit bulky and they therefore take up quite a bit of room in the car and on the trolley. Bivvy domes also make it a bit difficult to get your gear in especially if you have a bad back as you have to duck down through the door and over the groundsheet. However if it’s maximum protection you’re after and space and dodgy backs are not a concern then a bivvy dome may be the ideal choice for you.
