If you want ultimate stability on the bank, then the Matrix S25 Super Box is definitely worth a look. Built on a strong frame, the whole box is built to last. The frame is made from a lightweight, reinforced aluminium to reduce the weight but retain strength, and it manages that as the entire box system weighs 15kg in total. The box is available in a Black or Matrix Lime Green to give you a choice when purchasing.

Legs are 25mm in diameter and compatible with all Matrix attachments as well as those from other companies using the inserts that can be bought separately. The front 4 legs are telescopic to enable you to get the seatbox level and solid on any terrain, with the chunky leg screws a great addition, especially useful in wet or cold conditions. Large swivelling mud feet are present on the base of the legs to prevent the box sinking into soft ground and the sliding footplate is made from an anti-warp material and is very strong, when stood on, it is going nowhere.

The padded seat is incredibly comfortable and won't sag overtime, which is important for supporting your back and it comes with a built in spirit level, so you can get the box in the best possible position. The box is also supplied with a sliding deep drawer unit and extra unit underneath for rigs and small items.

Pros

  • Very stable seatbox.
  • Drawer unit can store lots of terminal tackle.

If you’re looking for quality at an unbeatable price, the Trakker Defy Spod/Marker Rod is the perfect choice. Let’s face it—in a world of ever-increasing costs, equipping yourself with three rods, reels, bite alarms, and more can be a real strain on your wallet. Add the expense of a dedicated marker and spod rod, and it can feel overwhelming.

Thankfully, this rod does both jobs, saving you money while remaining incredibly affordable this Christmas. The 12ft rod is ideal for both spodding and marking, capable of easily propelling a loaded spod over 100 yards.

Its fast-taper design ensures effortless casting, while the 50mm braid-friendly butt ring reduces friction for longer casts. Coupled with an anti-frap tip ring, it also minimises tangles and crack-offs, making it a reliable and versatile addition to your setup.

Pros

  • Incredibly affordable
  • 50mm butt and anti frap ring
  • Quality build

Drennan Acolyte Specimen Float Rod
Price: $179.99 was £259.99

www.total-fishing-tackle.com

The slim, lightweight and exceptionally balanced the Drennan Acolyte Specimen Float rod is ideal for rivers where quality fish are expected. It is slightly more powerful than the Acolyte Plus and a great choice for casting and controlling heavier floats and baits. A combination of length and a very fast tip ensures line pick up is incredibly fast, allowing you to connect with more bites on those longer trots when seeking out the barbel.

Weighing in at just 170g, it is one of, if not the lightest, long float rods on the market, which makes it effortless to hold and use all day. The Acolyte is also more than powerful enough to suppress even the largest of barbel, so when you do get that bite, you can be more than confident of landing the fish. A superb choice for any float fishing work for specimen fish.

Pros

  • Incredibly light and well-balanced.
  • Aesthetically beautiful.

Cons

  • A little cumbersome on overgrown, smaller rivers.
