Jason’s Rods

Diawa | Crosscast XT 12 ft 3lb TC

Jason likes the longer rods for the casting distance and these have served him well.

Easy to use and to break down they do the job well.

Jason’s Reels

Daiwa | Black Widow BR 4500A

Jason landed the big old catfish on these reels and he did really well so he is pleased with them.

The reels are simple to use and solid performers.

Jason’s Hooks

Gardiner| Ronnie Rigs

Jay’s go to hook when making his own rigs. He finds they last, stay sharp and keep a good hold of the fish when it bites.

He likes these and has used them for a long time.

Jason’s Bite Alarms

Sonik | SKS2

A great set of bite alarms and they work in conjunction with the bivvy light so you don’t have to get up in the dark.

An excellent idea and well worth the price!

Jason’s Carp Bait Of Choice

Mainline | Essential IB

Jason is also a convert to Mainline’s Essential IB. Yes he uses other baits but when the going gets hard and he really needs a bite – these usually deliver.

They are a solid bait proven time and time again!

Jason’s Favourite Item

Sleeping Bag | From my military service

This sleeping bag means a lot to me and it’s kept me feeling warm on many a cold night in England and overseas.

We’ve been through a lot.

Jason’s Top Tactics

Make sure you have your fishing area perfect, you know where everything is and keep adjusting your bait until you are happy with where it is and how it feels.
