Our pick of the latest goodies to hit the banks

PRESTON INNOVATIONS MONSTER XTREME HANDLES

WHAT THEY SAY: A range of four super-strong landing net handles designed especially for use with larger net heads for banking big fish, or in conventional style in big weight situations.

Despite the additional strength, each model remains both light and stiff, allowing anglers to scoop fish with ease.

Available in 2.5m, 3m and 4m with a single pinned and glued thread, and a XS 3.6m version with an additional thread in the second section, allowing it to be used at a range of lengths. WHAT WE SAY: Although predominantly a match brand, Preston is clearly trying to entice specialist anglers with these new extra-strong handles.

Price: 2.5m-4m £34.99-£49.99, XS 3.6m £59.99, www. prestoninnovations.com

PRESTON INNOVATIONS CARP XS LANDING NETS

WHAT THEY SAY: A mega-strong landing net featuring a robust spreader block, large latex mesh and thick durable aluminium frame. Designed to provide confidence when landing large, hard-fighting fish. The two larger sizes have added depth, perfect for specimen fish. Available in 18ins, 20ins, 22ins and 24ins.

WHAT WE SAY: Like a standard match head, just bigger! Made to handle the now increasingly bigger fish encountered by match and pleasure anglers.

PRICE: £16.99 - £19.99, www. prestoninnovations.com

PRESTON INNOVATIONS WRAP AND LEISURE SUNGLASSES

WHAT THEY SAY: Two new stylish designs of sunglasses offering smart UV protection.

The Wrap model has a wraparound design offering an added barrier to excess light and an undisturbed view of the water. The Ice blue lenses are tailored to bright and sunny conditions, and will cut through surface glare.

The Leisure glasses have a more relaxed, large frame design and green lenses that will reduce unwanted glare in virtually all light conditions.

Both models come supplied with very handy storage case. 

WHAT WE SAY: These glasses offer great looks and UV protection at a very affordable price.

Price: Leisure £19.99, Wrap £23.99, www. prestoninnovations.com

PRESTON INNOVATIONS PERFORMANCE SUN SHIRT

WHAT THEY SAY: Made from a lightweight UPF-35 rated material which protects your skin from harmful UV rays while providing a cool, comfortable fit thanks to its breathable fabric construction. A relaxed fit around the torso and shoulders won’t impede casting or shippin
