HQ Twin skin MKII 1 Man £399.99 // 499,95 € The most feature packed bivvy on the market just got better! The first ever bivvy to feature a built in twin-skin as standard now boasts a new internal layout and a stylish rain peak, designed to keep the elements at bay better than ever before. The clip-in inner wrap totally eradicates the need for a winter skin and completely eliminates condensation. Once installed, it need never be removed. The inner wrap is not attached to the heavy-duty clip-in groundsheet, so it can be left in place all-year round. The HQ has a unique separated pole layout which provides improved stability and greater floor space. It will easily accommodate a large bedchair and all the tackle that you could possible need for a long stint on the bank. The 10,000 waterproof and breathable material is of the highest standards, with a soft brush finish that gives the HQ its distinctive look. The material is completely storm proof, boasts taped seams and has been tested in wind, snow, rain and intense sunlight. It’s never let any of our anglers down. When creating the bivvy, we concluded that it was the little things that often made a big difference. So, in a bid to give you more, we included a rear vent that can be opened from the inside, a colour coded groundsheet for easy installation and two rod-retention bars that when placed on the side of the HQ, give you somewhere perfect to rest your marker, spod or any other spare rods. In short, it’s the bivvy that sets a new benchmark. Check out all of the features and make your own mind up. We know you’ll see the light!

HQ Twin Skin MK II 2 man £499.99 // 599,95 € For longer sessions, it doesn’t get any more luxurious than the stunning 2 Man HQ Twin Skin bivvy. The MKII version features a stylish storm peak, extending the already generous coverage area even further. With the same Twin Skin Technology as a 1 Man HQ, this spacious bivvy offers loads of internal space, almost like a 2.5man bivvy, thanks to the spreading out of the poles at the sides. This increases the usable internal space massively, giving you more room than any other three-rib 2 Man. The inner wrap only needs to be clipped in once and removes the need for a winter skin. As both the internal and external materials are fully breathable and waterproof to 10,000mm, the material resists condensation, making the bivvy cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The soft brush finish to the external material gives the HQ its iconic look. It’s totally storm proof, boasts taped seams and has been tested in all conditions. It’s never let any of our anglers down, many of whom are doing 5 nights a week, every week of the year. Included in the HQ bivvy is a rear vent that can be opened from the inside, and like the front boasts a mosquito panel layer. The colour coded groundsheet makes installation easy and two rod-retention bars add stability, as well as giving you somewhere to rest your rods when not in use. It’s an unbelievable bivvy that for longer sessions, trips abroad, or just when you want to take all the creature comforts of home, is totally unrivalled. Specification Dimensions: W 295cm x H 150cm x D 290cm Overall Weight: 15.9kg Bivvy Only: 8kg

Both the Benchmark and Benchmark X feature two reinforced steel Throw-Hinges that allow you to pack your sleeping bag away inside the bed. This helps offer a totally flat surface, which offers maximum comfort.

BEDCHAIRS MEM:X one-piece design Our specially designed MEM:X Foam is the perfect option for bed chairs, providing maximum comfort. The onepiece design makes the usable surface area of the bed larger than ever, meaning even the standard Benchmark offers more comfort than any other similarly sized bed. Lumbar region support system Rather than a typical elastic-wound mattress, only wrapped around the outside, our special system supports the canvas underneath as well as around the edges. This prevents sagging and enables you to enjoy all of the comfort offered by the one-piece MEM:X Foam mattress. Lateral sleep system design This bed is totally flat, meaning it’s just like your bed at home. If your bed was made from memory foam, of course. This provides the perfect platform for a great night’s sleep. Rapid folding mechanism Throw hinges rather than hand wheels give more room for the mattress and more room to pack away sleeping bags inside the bed chair. A simple security clip and strap secures the Benchmark in transit. Improved weight distribution All four legs of the Benchmark have been strategically placed to provide even weight distribution for increased levels of comfort.

All Avid Carp beds and chairs now feature our protected Rock Steady system, which does away with the ugly lever systems used on other chairs. This innovative system prevents the internal extendable leg from rocking - a big issue with standard setups. Each ROCK-STEADY™ leg has its own non-slip mud foot, which hinges to find the perfect level every time, giving you maximum stability.

The Transit X Barrow is designed for transporting heavy loads over large distances. It boasts a unique handle system, which means you no longer have to bend your arms when pushing the barrow. This reduces the strain on your arms and back, making the barrow easier to push over uneven terrain. The Transit X boasts shorter legs to improve ground clearance and a chunky all-terrain tyre. It has a large central pocket that perfectly accommodates the Transit 2 bag, and two pockets either side of the wheel that allow you distribute the weight better across the front of the barrow. • Unique adjustable handles • Easy-grip handles • Adjustable side rails • Shorter legs to improve ground clearance • Chunky all-terrain tyre • Supplied with tyre bag

The clear finish has been combined in a two-tone construction with a specially developed algae-coloured tint, to offer new levels of invisibility.

This impressive fluorocarbon breaks up its own outline to offer unrivalled invisibility in water. Fluorocarbon can be quite conspicuous when off the lakebed, so by using an algae-tinted two-tone construction, the outline is very hard to distinguish at all levels in the water column.

The material itself has excellent knot strength but remains smooth for casting. It’s abrasion resistant qualities marry beautifully with it’s slightly absorbent nature, making it the perfect line for modern carp fishing.

This makes Outline Fluorocarbon a very special leader material or hook link, marrying supreme sinking qualities with new levels of invisibility, great knot strength and abrasion resistance.

Imitation Baits Imitation baits can be used as the perfect addition to any bait presentation such as Snowman rigs or Particle rigs. They are also widely used as a stand alone bait by many anglers when you need to be sure that your rig is presented well and the bait is secure. We have a huge selection of both plastic and foam imitation baits, from Maggots and Sweetcorn that incorporate the Hair stop, to ultra buoyant Zig Lites and High Lites that will remain buoyant forever.
