Here\u2019s my top five picks: 5\ufe0f\u20e3\u2b50\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The Digital Clicker Pro can be used across multiple nets, with a running total and has an improved IPX65 weatherproof rating. \u2614\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. My favourite Slik elastic is now available in mega 8m packs, allowing you to elasticate three two-piece kits or four short kits with one pack. \u27fa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. There are new Plastic Open End and Plastic Cage Feeders. I particularly like the look of the dinky little 10g XS Cage, but there are loads of sizes, right up to an XL 60g! \ud83d\udc1f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. I\u2019ve carried a trusty Torque margin pole for serious hit-and-hold work for a few years. It\u2019s now been redeveloped with a new mandrel and is 27% stronger thanks to the new X-Graphene material. Available in 6m, 8.5m and 10m lengths. \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. I love extra storage, gadgets and gizmos, so the new Side Tray Extender ticks all the boxes! It fits my Large and XL Self-Supporting Side Trays and will \u2018hopefully\u2019 keep me a little bit more organised. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All are available this month. <a
