Olive on Carp rods - what are your thoughts π€?
In recent times we have seen a massive increase in the popularity of carp rods with an Olive finish whether that be in the handle, the whippings or both. Brands like Nash and Free Spirit have jumped on board with products like the Tel-E Class rods and Olive handle Scopes.
As a result, we have now got in stock our own Olive EVA and shrink tube components for custom rod building purposes π«π£
Let us know your thoughts - are you a fan of the new Olive trend or do you prefer a classic black or cork finish π€?
Our range of Tackle Box and Darent Valley products is GROWING πππ»
Last week we had a huge delivery, including plenty of our popular pre-existing products as well as five BRAND NEW ones π
Keep an eye on our page over the coming weeks where we will be showcasing all the new additions to our range β
Would you try this FIZZING carp attractorπΎπ€?
These are Fish Fizzers - a dissolvable pellet which breaks down and fizzes in the water, attracting carp through sound and helping to disperse bait through the water column π¦
Ideal for use in solid bags, feeders, banded to the lead or hooked on with PVA mesh.
We are pleased to be the first distributors of the Fish Fizzers and look forward to seeing how they perform in the hands of our customers ππ»
Available now both in store and online at The Tackle Box β

Is this one of the most versatile landing net handles on the market π€?
Our Tackle Box 3-5-7 Telescopic Landing Net Handle is essentially three different handles in one. It adjusts and locks out at 3ft, 5ft 3 inches and 7ft 6 inches π
There is often a stereotype that telescopic handles are not up to the job for serious specimen angling and that is where the 3-5-7 handle comes in - we designed it specifically to fill that gap in the market for a robust and sturdy telescopic handle.
The shorter lengths are ideal for boat work and tight swims, and the 7ft 6 is ideal for those steeper banks or as a good all round carp net handle.
All four of the net handles in our Tackle Box Heavy Duty Hi-Carbon range come as part of a combo deal with a spreader block and mesh - to view the full range head to our website or visit us in store ππ»π

Darrell Peckβs CUSTOM Kaizens ππ»
We were recently asked by Darrell to build a set of custom Kaizen Platinum rods to suit his long range angling with heavy leads.
These were built on a 13ft 4lb Kaizen blank but with the top three inches cut down to increase the stiffness even further.
Darrel opted for a cork handle, Fuji reel seats and braid-friendly double leg guides.
Weβd like to say thank you to our rod builder Gary D for doing a great job on these and thank you to Darrell to trusting us with the build π

One of our biggest aims as a shop is to inspire the younger generation to get out fishing, so we always love to see catch reports like these ππ»
This came in from Sam and his 5 year old son Dexter, who went on his first ever fishing trip after visiting us in store. Sam told us:
βMassive thanks to you all there and especially mark for taking time yesterday to spend helping my 5 year old son with his list ready for his first fishing trip today. Very hot water level was below inlet and outlet but managed a few. Just to say thanks. I started shopping here 25 years ago. Little did I know Iβd be bringing my son here. ππ»β
Thanks to Sam and Dexter for sharing and to Mark for helping get them kitted out π£
