Wishing everyone a fantastic time over the festive period and a very happy New Year from everyone here at Crafty Carper HQ. In January’s issue, we’ve put together a whole range of features which is sure to appeal to everyone, including a feature from editor Steve Broad, who demonstrates how pellets can be used to great effect during this time of year. We’ve also got an extended Five-Minute Interrogation with Stoke based big fish angler and all round nice guy, Iain Macmillan which gives a great insight into his angling mentality. We’ve teamed up with the guys at NGT to give you a fantastic competition where five lucky winners will receive a pair of their Dynamic Bit Pit Reels worth a combined value of £499.95. e
