A huge launch for Dynamite last year was the Swim Stim F1 Sweet range of groundbait, pellets and pellet soaks. However, it was felt necessary to release a new Cool Water version that gives you the same texture and smell of the original with a new darker colour perfect for winter months and clear water conditions. This is an easy to mix, low feed groundbait that is perfect for F1s and silvers. It has also proven itself as a great feeder mix when targeting skimmers and bream with cage-feeder tactics.

Are the Horizon XD feeders the pinnacle of cage feeder design? Joe Carass thinks they could well be!

Lee Thornton reveals a margin approach for the modern era. Margin fishing is in a period of transition, and in this feature we are looking at modifying the way we feed and fish existing baits on commercials down the margins, to try and give you the winning edge. Groundbait and micro pellets are probably the most used baits down the edge, but fish have wised up to these tactics, making methods that used to work far less effective. This in my opinion is down to two reasons: one, the fish get used to being caught in a certain way and are conditioned to behave differently to avoid getting caught, and two, once every angler fishes in a similar way, any key defining edge is taken away, making the draw more important than before.
