A couple of new lines this time. The Korda Subline  comes in translucent green or brown and is extremely tough supple and super heavy. This stuff sinks like a brick and comes of the spool with virtually no twist and has a very soft supple feel to it. If you fish slack lines and want a tough reliable line, Korda Subline may be the answer. For more information or to purchase please click on the above link. The  Ace Velocity Leader Line  is aimed at the angler fishing at distance. It features a high breaking strain leader end which tapers down to normal mainline i.e. 25lb leader end tapering to 10lb mainline. This means no more knots to catch and cause birdsnests. The Ace Velocity leader Line has the tapered leader at both ends, so when the leader gets a bit worn you just turn it round saving you money as well.

New in are the Century Neville Snag Ears and Berkleys Spiderwire Stealth Camo Braid. Both of these items look as though they would give any carp angler a significant edge.

Century Neville Snag Ears

As I’m sure most of you know Century have taken over the manufacture of the Stevie Neville Stainless Range. Though the snag ears have been around for some time, it’s always been a bit difficult to get a hold of them. Now that Century are involved supplies should be more readily available. The Snag Ears are for snag fishing primarily, but are also great when fishing nearside margins with the rods pointing forward. An excellent bit of kit that does what it say’s on the tin and also looks good.

Berkley Spiderwire Stealth Camo Braid

This looks really interesting and I’ll be giving it a try myself. Berkley have done lots of tests in their fish laboratories in America and they found that fish spook of lines that are a single colour. After trying various combinations they came up with The Stealth Camo Braid. The same tests showed that the fish did not spook off the broken outline of The Stealth. The colour on the Stealth changes every two or three feet and there are about four or five different colour variations.
