Our pick of the latest goodies to hit the banks
GARBOLINO HORIZONTAL MULTI LEG DOUBLE MATCH ROLLER 3R
WHAT THEY SAY: Garbolino’s popular Double Match Roller is now more versatile than ever. Supplied with two sets of telescopic legs, allowing the roller to be used flat to the ground, with the short single telescopic legs or their long double telescopic equivalent – basically, they cover every height and bank gradient the modern pole angler is likely to face.
The 700mm-wide rollers are made from high-density EVA foam and run on ultra-smooth ball-bearings.
WHAT WE SAY: We love this idea! Rather than use leg extensions which need to be removed for storage, simply clip on the legs you need for the venue you are fishing and away you go!
Price: £189.99, www.garbolinouk.co.uk

WHAT WE SAY: These new baits are ideal for anglers looking to give their fishing an edge.

DYNAMITE BAITS PEPPERED SQUID BOILIES
WHAT THEY SAY: If you are after a strongly-scented boilie that will leak out a variety of aromas once on the bottom, these brand-new baits could be what you are looking for.
They contain a liquid attractor combination of squid and octopus flavour, black pepper essential oil, liver hydrolysate and blended fish oils that will certainly sting your nostrils!
Carp to over 65lb were fooled by these during testing in Europe, and they are bound to be just as effective for tench, chub and barbel.
Available in 12mm, 15mm, 20mm and 26mm sizes, they come in a range of different bag sizes from 1kg up to 5kg.
WHAT WE SAY: Ultra-powerful and fishy, these will be available in shops just in time for the spring temperature hike and the yearly big-fish feeding bonanza!
