This month Joe Carass takes the new mid-priced pole offerings from Sensas out for a little jaunt!Over the years I have used and owned poles from just about all the different manufacturers out there but, I must admit, I have never owned a Sensas model. I have held most of them throughout my time, though, and have always been impressed with what I have seen. My esteemed editor, Alex Bones, and I went tackle testing a few months ago and he put the top-of-the-range Power Match 874 through its paces. It was a lovely bit of kit that is perfect for the UK angler.
Tri-Cast is well known for producing quality landing-net handles and this 2. 7m offering is just that. It is super-slim and stiff and, for those wanting something a touch longer, a 1. 6m extension is available.
Available in 8mm and 10mm versions in five different colours these shellfish boilies make the ideal hook bait for any commercial fishery. They have the perfect consistency for hair rigging and can be mounted on any type of hair rig. RRP: £2. 99.
These fantastic landing nets have been designed as a small and compact net for the angler who fishes for F1s and smaller fish and needs a net to allow them to fish at speed. The F1-50 is the smaller and shallower net, while the larger F1-55 net is more suited to larger carp. RRP: £15. 99.
These landing nets have been designed to hug the carp that you net to help speed up the unhooking process. There are two mesh diameters available, with one being fine to prevent hair rigs getting caught up in the net. RRP: £8. 50.
Krill products have burst onto the match scene in recent years and have become must-have products. This new Krill Liquid from Sonubaits has a lovely aroma and is perfect for adding to any bait. RRP: £2. 99.
This is a fantastic float for targeting F1s and small carp shallow on the pole and, thanks to the inline build, it is super-strong and tangle free. The pattern is available in both a 4x12 and 4x14 size. RRP: £1. 99.
