Diem cradle

First Impressions.....

After receiving the New Cradle I was eager to get out have a play (like a kid in a sweet shop) 
When I got the Euro Cot out it was huge!! My 2 kids loved it as well and both sat in it together! Its big enough for most French fishing and well padded all round to help protect the fish and comes with a cover to either store at night or to leave a fish for a moment to sort out as you'll know she'll be fine and where you left her.

The Bank Test

Having first tested this in France I was overly impressed with the style,loads of padding and adjustable legs/swivel feet and I was very surprised at how light weight it was.
The padding and bars not only helps protects the fish but also helps you to pick up the fish and also to rest your arms on when your taking your pictures.
 And this also helps to save your back big time as at 1 point it was killing me.


I love it and I wouldn't be without it now!

Product Review - Diem Barrow Bag By Spencer Wright

For as many years that I have targeted Carp, I have always used a rucksack to carry the bulk of my equipment with the biggest possible Rucksack I could buy, normally sufficing, due to the amount of tackle that I have managed to accrue and take with me on every trip on the bank! My latest model which is well past its sell by date and was probably well over 10 years old and was quite literally falling apart at the seems and to say it was on its last legs would be an understatement!

With 99% of my angling now based upon a carp barrow, I recently made the decision to switch over to a Barrow Bag and to say that I am overjoyed with my decision to use the Diem Barrow Bag would be a complete understatement, it is brilliant! 

Diem Barrow Bag
My initial worries of it not being able to house all the equipment that I originally took was soon overlooked as it took all the equipment I used to take and more. Even more than my old 60L rucksack used to house. What I found was a huge benefit was the amount of pockets and compartments that it held, accommodating everything from my scales, tackle box, cooking equipment as well as my stainless bank-sticks; even my camera and spare Lens and my smaller items of tackle in the various pockets!

The Diem Barrow Bag can house everything and more you want to put in it!
What I found really appealing with the Diem Barrow Bag is that with the low profile, I can easily access everything within the bag, without having to pull the entire contents out. The next benefit was that I now don't have to carry the contents on my shoulders, making my back and shoulders feel refreshed when i reach my swim and not groaning in pain, like they used to!

I sit the bag, as far forward on my barrow as possible, preferably over the front wheel which makes pushing the barrow containing the Barrow Bag, child's play. I'm sold. Its a great piece of kit that I would recommend to anyone.
