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.

Some new products from Korda this time. The new Korda Mouth Trapis 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 Mainlinehas 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 Spodwhich 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.

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.
