SONIK SKS Carp Care range

1. SKS Landing Net 2PC

SONIK’s lightweight, exceptionally strong and designed to match the rods within the SKS range net, looks like it should come with a three-digit price tag. And yet here it is with one which reads just £47.99. Great mesh? Tick. Strong spreader block? Tick. Split pole? Tick.

2. SKS Floating Weigh Sling

Weighing and returning just become a lot easier. Slot the two aluminium bars together (it breaks down to nothing so storage is a doddle), wet the inside – where you’ll see SONIK have created the base and sides from a soft mesh – and, hey presto, you’ve got a carp-friendly sling. And thanks to that mesh, it’ll drain incredibly quickly. Sold complete with a water-resistant bag. “GIMME”: £26.99

3. SKS Unhooking Cradle

This style of high-walled unhooking mat was first championed way back in 2001 and since then has gone on to become best sellers for most of the big companies around the world. Where SONIK’s version differs, is not only does it combine outstanding fish safety properties with mobile-friendly features but it comes with price tag which won’t cause your wallet to hemorrhage.

High-density foam-filled walls keep the sides upright, whilst on the base you’ll find SONIK has equipped these two sizes of mat (Standard and XL) with a well-padded removable mattress, along with mesh vents for maximum drainage and a calming and protective retention over-flap. “GIMME”: £44.99 and £54.99; soniksports.com

4. SKS Refresh Bucket

Want a proper ‘fish’ water bucket that doesn’t take up loads of space? This concertinas flat when empty and pops open when in use thanks to the ingenious steel spring system. No fuss, no extra luggage, no horrible slimed-up carp for your trophy shots. “GIMME”: £14.99
