The first of MAP’s new pole-float models are the Winter Deck. There are four patterns in the range that will cover all winter commercial work. RRP: £1. 85.
This carbon-stemmed slimline pattern looks ideal for pellet and maggot work for commercial silvers or F1s. The DC 12H has a fine hollow bristle that lights up in bad conditions, making it easily visible. RRP: £1. 75.
This fantastic new pattern is the same shape as the original B911 eyed but it has been beefed up and forged to prevent it straightening out. Available in sizes 8 to 18 to cover all commercial applications where an eyed hook is needed. RRP: £1. 20.
These legs are available in two lengths and have a diameter of 23mm; they have a double extending function helping you deal with awkward banks. Supplied in packs of four. RRP: From £17. 99.
The latest addition to Preston’s expanding reel range, the PC-R is a front-drag reel that is available in four sizes. The reel has a clever push-spool design for quick release of the spool. They are great performers for their price tag and are sure to be big sellers for Preston. RRP: £120.
These 2kg bags of groundbait come in two different mixes – Green Lipped Mussel and Marine Halibut & Frenzied Hemp. They are both good mixes and fantastic value. RRP: £5. 45.
This 55cm D-shaped landing net features a unique mesh. The Carpscoop has a central mesh of 3mm that prevents hair rigs and small hooks getting caught up, but has a wider 6mm mesh up the sides that makes scooping fish easy. RRP: £6. .
A good brolly is essential in winter to help you keep comfortable and this new Space Brolly looks ideal. It has a unique STS rib system, which makes it stronger and gives you more headroom. It comes with an adjustable pole with tilt facility and is made from quality fabric that will last. RRP: £79.
