We now have the full Korda Stow Indicator Range in stock now. The Korda Stow Indicator System allows unparalleled sensitivity when using slack or tight lines. Korda acquired the rights to the design from Carl Pashley, the originator of the Elstow bobbins, because they thought that the concept truly represented a step forward in indicator design. That’s not to say that the development team, headed up by Damian Clarke, just copied Carl’s originals. In fact, the resulting bobbins have benefitted from a long period of refining, tweaking and remodelling. The specially configured line clip helps transmit ANY line movement into positive indications that help you to understand what’s happening at the rig end and Stows are especially good at picking up line bites. The Korda Stow Indicator Heads allow you to have more than one colour set of heads or to use with other systems. To protect the Indicator Systems there is the Korda Stow Away Case in either a 3 or 2 rod set. The Korda Stow Lites  are high powered isotopes in colours to match the indicator heads providing maximum visibility at night. Should you prefer the fashionable black chains these are available The Stow Black Chains come in both sizes. If snags feature regularly in your fishing the Stow Bars should come in useful they come in black or silver. For long range fishing there are the Stow Over Weights in two sizes. Finally The Korda Stow Magnetic Hockey Stix and Magnetic Adaptor allow you to have the Stow magnetic quick release system with other indicator systems.

Some more new products now. From Nash Baits we have the new Nash IC-1 Boilies  now in stock these have a curry/spicy flavour and are suitable for year round use. We have them in both freezer and shelf life and I’m sure they’ll be really popular. From Gardner Tackle we have the new Gardner Covert Chod Hook which is plated rather than Teflon coated. We all know the problems with Teflon coated hooks, rust around the eyes, loss of hook point sharpness and increased diameter, well the unique Covert plating overcomes these problems and also increases camouflaging.

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.
