FJUKA SQUEEZ-READY METHOD PELLETS

RRP: £1.99/£3.99

Most 2mm micro pellets come out of the bag hard, and softening them so that they’re suitable for the Method feeder can prove tricky.

Add the incorrect amount of water or fail to soak them for the appropriate length of time and you’re left with bait that won’t cling to the frame properly.

These new pellets from Fjuka remove that conundrum and, as the name suggests, they come out of the bag with a soft consistency that is perfect for the job in hand.

They’ll cling well to the frame for casting and as the feeder sinks,

before slowly breaking off on the bottom to draw fish in.

Equally good for feeding loose or in small nuggets on the pole, they’re available in 200g and 500g bags. www.fjuka.shop

PRESTON INNOVATIONS THERMATECH HEATED GILET

RRP: £119.99

It’s essential to stay warm on the bank if you’re to enjoy your sport during the winter months, and this brand-new heated garment is guaranteed to keep you toastie in even the harshest of conditions.

It contains five heating elements spread throughout, and runs off any standard USB power bank (not supplied).

When used with the 20000mAh Preston Innovations Thermatech power bank (available separately for £59.99) it can last for up to eight hours before a recharge is required.

There are two hand pockets, a chest pocket and an internal compartment to house the power bank.

SIWI MAGIC ROACH POLE FLOATS

RRP: £2.50

Created by England international Simon Willsmore, these pole floats are perfect for targeting silverfish on stillwaters, canals and slow-moving rivers.

Built with a fibre bristle that will still stand out when the winter sun is creating an awkward glare on the water, they have an elongated rugby ball shaped body and a wire stem for added stability.

Roach are renowned for their finicky bites, but the make-up of these floats will make sure that they dip under from even the most tentative of hookbait enquiries.

Available in six sizes ranging from 0.4g to 2g. www.iansfishingtackle.co.uk (Use the search function to find them)
