OUR BIGGEST LAUNCH EVER! August 2023 Product Launch

For our final product release of 2023, we have got the biggest launch we have ever done with over 150 new individual products! The launch itself features several new key products which we have been working tirelessly on over the past few years as well as the introduction of a new range of products under the Revolve banner! Read on to find out more about each new product within the range!

One of the key products we were most excited to release was our new EXO+ Bivvy, a shelter which has been years in the making. The EXO+ bivvy aims to appeal to those anglers that require a quick-erect shelter without compromising on space and comfort! The bivvy incorporates our innovative quick-erect elbows and the easy-to-use EXO central boss, making erecting a bivvy simpler than ever before. The self-locating corner elbows, decrease the overall set-up and pack-down speed, as well as preventing pole twists and damage to pole elastics. Due to the frame design of the EXO+ bivvy, we have managed to increase the usable internal within the bivvy by increasing the headroom and creating a flat profile to the rear of the shelter. The bivvy itself is a large 1-person shelter, designed for those anglers who like additional space and comfort. Unlike other similarly shaped bivvies, The EXO+ features an integrated peak, offering increased protection from the elements. The shelter also comes supplied with a storm cap, offering improved insulation and further coverage. The bivvy features our 20,000mm EX, finished in an unobtrusive Khaki with camo mesh vents for increased airflow.

Next up is our Benchmark Ultra-Series Systems, the pinnacle in bankside comfort! For several years now, our Benchmark memory foam bed have been market-leading! Our latest models only build upon this well-deserved reputation with several new key improvements. The first of these new key improvements is to our LevelTech Leg design. We listened to customer feedback and have made some slight adjustments to the internals of the leg system which now feature a heavy-duty spring and a new track design on the leg which prevents the leg slipping out during transit. Secondly, we have removed the traditional elasticated central lumbar support and replaced it with the new TLS Lumbar support which sees the main bed sheet threaded through the frame, ensuring the bed is firm and supports your back in all of the right places. The firm bed is finished with our famous luxurious 50mm memory foam mattress. We have also added new CNC hinges to the beds which increase the strength of the frame, ensuring its longevity. Finally, we have made some slight adjustments to the system’s dual-layer duvet which is now finished in our EX khaki Fabric and features an internal layer which can be flipped to either have peach skin or fleece against you whilst you sleep. Once the internal layer is removed in the summer months, you are left with the top layer which features the soft-to-touch peach skin, ideal for those warmer nights.

Also new to the Benchmark range is two new recliner chairs, in standard and Hi-Back models. Both chairs feature the same memory foam mattress, LevelTech adjustable legs, reclining hand-wheel and fleece-covered armrests for added comfort. If you’re serious about your comfort on the bank, these chairs are certainly worth checking out.

 The next new addition to our range is the Elevate range of rods. These rods take the place of our Amplify rods, with several key improvements on what was available prior. The rods feature the thinnest, lightest, and most powerful blank we have ever produced. Utilising cutting-edge carbon technologies, the rod boasts an ultra-fast recovery, adding distance and accuracy to your cast. Despite their impressive distance casting capabilities, Elevate rods have been designed with playing fish at the forefront of their design. Their smooth and responsive, yet powerful action, allows for an increased sense of control under the tip, offering the necessary cushioning to prevent hook pulls at close quarters. The rod's aesthetics are functional and stylish, featuring; Classy understated graphics, Gunsmoke metal finishings, American Tackle Ti-Forged Air guides and Ultra-powerful slim XK Carbon blanks. With four models in the range (12ft 3.25lbs, 12ft 3.5lbs, 12ft 3.75lbs and 13ft 3.75lbs), every eventuality is covered, be that casting to the horizon or close-range combat.

Next up is the introduction of our Revolve range. Revolve, revolves around offering quality tackle at a low price, to budget-conscious anglers or for those new to the sport. Although many of the items carry a low price point, this doesn’t mean there have been any corners cut during their design, with quality remaining at the forefront of the development of each product.

First in the range of Revolve products is the Revolve Sleep Systems, available in 6-leg standard and 8-leg x models, sized the same as our market-leading Benchmark Ultra-Series Systems. These sleep systems offer exceptional value for money, featuring a dual-layer four-season sleeping bag, fleece-lined foam mattress and extendable rock-steady legs. Instead of a traditional sprung mattress or elasticated lumbar support, the bottom support sheet on these systems is threaded around the frame, giving you the firmness and support found on our premium Ultra-Series systems at a fraction of the price! Also available are matching standard and x-sized bedchairs, which carry all of the same features apart from the duvet.

The revolve bivvies are a two-rib, pram-hood design featuring a large peak which offers extra protection from the elements. The bivvies are available in 1-person and 2-person models, sized on the larger side offering anglers ample room to store away all of their tackle whilst remaining comfortable. The standard model is a 2-break pole design, whereas the 2-man bivvy features 4 breaks. The bivvy features our captive frame support poles which are supplied for increased set-up and pack-down times, preventing you from having to remove the tension poles when packing away the bivvy. The two-way letter box style door features an integrated mesh panel, as well as PVC and solid fabric options. Around the back of the shelter, there is a large mesh vent, allowing for increased airflow during those warmer periods. Also available to purchase separately are additional overwraps which transform your single-skin revolve bivvy into a dual-layer system, adding additional coverage at the front with an extended porch.

 Also new to the Revolve range is the Revolve 60” Brolly System which offers superb performance at a low price. The brolly itself is finished in a 10,000mm hydrostatic head material that is lightweight and durable. The central space-saving hub mechanism is easy to use and allows for increased headroom within the brolly itself. The front of the brolly features two Velcro rod retention straps to stop rods sliding. The brolly is supplied with 4 storm-poles, two for the side, and two for the front. Heavy-Duty Pegs and a lightweight groundsheet. The front panel of the brolly is fully removable via a full-length heavy-duty zip and can be configured in several different ways, whether that be full mozzie mesh in the summer or a letter box door during adverse conditions. The Revolve brolly system is ideal for short-session anglers or those who like to travel light.

 For those short-session anglers, the Revolve 3m Brolly is the ideal choice for anglers looking for coverage from the elements. Featuring a large central pole, the brolly is easy to put up and down. The central poles ground spike alongside the pegging points and guide rope help you secure the brolly once it has been set up. Once erected the brolly can be angled, keeping you dry and comfortable, not only from above but from behind.

 Another addition to our rod range is the new Revolve rods. The range offers the best value for money of any Carp on the market to date. Made from high-quality Carbon, Minima style guide with an anti-frap tip guide, high-quality 18mm reel seats, a matt black finish with understated cosmetics and a full shrink wrap handle with a stylish flare. There are 5 models in the range, from 10ft 3lb up to 13ft 3.5 lbs test curve model. The 10ft models feature a 40mm butt guide with the 12ft and 13ft models featuring a 50mm butt guide. Never before has this performance been available at such a low price point.

To perfectly complement the Revolve rod range we have two new Revolve nets, available in both 1 pc 6ft and 2 pc 8ft models, these nets cover most angling situations you may face. The nets feature a CNC aluminium spreader block with full carbon arms alongside a deep 80cm soft Black mesh which is strong and durable, and most importantly fish friendly.
