It's perfect on those muggy, wet sessions. The block is now stronger too, leading to a much sturdier, freestanding structure when locked into place.

Are Black Friday deals on carp fishing tackle worth it?

Carp fishing tackle is subjected to sales throughout the year, with many rods, bivvies and reels seeing discounts depending on the season and the type of carp angling they are designed for. However, Black Friday often sees even sharper discounts than you would usually see and it is often a blanket discount incorporating lots of styles of carp fishing equipment, so if you want the best price for a certain item, it's well worth checking out the prices on Black Friday.

The Black Friday sales are great if you want to buy complete setup or if you just want that premium set of alarms or rods that are normally out of your budget. The discounts generally make these items that bit more affordable, allowing you to look at a much better setup whilst waiting for that all important bite!
