2018 CONSUMER GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2018 Avid Consumer Guide.

This guide features every product currently in our range and includes a whole host of new and innovative items.

This year we have produced the Avid Consumer Guide in no less than five different languages, as Avid continues to grow in popularity across Europe.

You can be sure of several things when purchasing an Avid product, all of our products have been developed and designed by our in-house development team which is headed up by Jason Umney. Jason has worked in the trade in several positions and over the last few years he has flourished in the role of Avid Product Development Manager.

Jason works alongside some of the best CAD & Graphic Designers in the industry to produce the very best finished products possible.

Every product in the range has been finished to the highest standard possible and from materials that are built to stand the test of time.

Most importantly for us, all of our products have been designed, developed and tested by Carp anglers for Carp anglers. Working closely with our team of consultants has helped us to produce some of the most innovative products you see on the bank today.

2018 has seen us add some great new products and industry firsts in to the range.

The Benchmark Memory Foam Systems are the first sleep systems on the market to feature a 100% memory foam mattress. Coupled with a lightweight frame and our unique Rock-Steady™leg system, we believe that the Benchmark Memory Foam Systems are the best on the market.

We have also backed up the Benchmark Memory Foam Systems with the Benchmark Memory Foam Chair which is also an industry first and in our opinion, the most comfortable chair available today.

The Bivvy Organiser has created quite the stir since we revealed it to the public late last year and we believe that anglers everywhere will soon be taking advantage of this unique product.

Our new Stormshield range is also something to look out for which features two waterproof Bedchair Bags, two Swag Bags & the Stormshield Bedchair Cover.

The Outline End Tackle range hogged much of the media limelight in 2017 and we are extremely proud of what we have achieved. The two-toned makeup of the range makes it almost impossible to detect when underwater.

BIVVIES Our extensive range of Bivvies & Shelters really does have something to suit everyone.

Whether it’s a compact shelter for fishing quick overnighters, or something a little more spacious for those longer continental sessions, the Avid range of Bivvies & Shelters has been designed to cover every base.

Our team of consultants have been heavily involved with the design and rigorous testing of all our Bivvies & Shelters to ensure that the final products brought to market are of the highest quality.

This year has seen two new additions to our already superb range with the Screen House Compact and the Base Camper XXL. The end of this section also features some essential bivvy accessories which have been designed to make your time on the bank a little easier.

The most feature packed bivvy on the market just got better! The first ever bivvy to feature a built in twin-skin as standard now boasts a new internal layout and a stylish rain peak, designed to keep the elements at bay better than ever before.

The clip-in inner wrap totally eradicates the need for a winter skin and completely eliminates condensation. Once installed, it need never be removed. The inner wrap is not attached to the heavy-duty clip-in groundsheet, so it can be left in place all-year round.

245cm

The HQ has a unique separated pole layout which provides improved stability and greater floor space. It will easily accommodate a large bedchair and all the tackle that you could possible need for a long stint on the bank.

140cm

The 10,000mm waterproof and breathable material is of the highest standard, with a soft brush finish that gives the HQ its distinctive look. The material is completely stormproof, boasts taped seams and has been tested in wind, snow, rain and intense sunlight. It’s never let any of our anglers down.

For longer sessions, it doesn’t get any more luxurious than the stunning 2 Man HQ Twin Skin bivvy. The MKII version features a stylish storm peak, extending the already generous coverage area even further. With the same Twin Skin Technology as a 1 Man HQ, this spacious bivvy offers loads of internal space, almost like a 2.5 Man bivvy, thanks to the spreading out of the poles at the sides. This increases the usable internal space massively, giving you more room than any other three-rib 2 Man. 290cm

The inner wrap only needs to be clipped in once and removes the need for a winter skin. As both the internal and external materials are fully breathable and waterproof to 10,000mm, the material resists condensation, making the bivvy cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

150cm

Included in the HQ bivvy is a rear vent that can be opened from the inside, and like the front boasts a mosquito panel layer. The colour coded groundsheet makes installation easy and two rod-retention bars add stability, as well as giving you somewhere to rest your rods when not in use.

A 2-rib design is used to reduce weight, but spacing out the poles makes the bivvy more spacious than traditional pram-hood alternatives on the inside.

As always, we have staggered the pole layout to offer increased internal space for your bedchair and tackle, whilst increasing the overall stability with side Re:tension bars, an iconic Avid touch.

The front can be totally removed or used in a variety of styles, either with full mosquito panel or with mosquito mesh windows. The front door can also be used in the popular ‘letter box’ style.

These new additions to the range are the first of their kind to hit the fishing market and we believe that they are the best quality available today.

The Road Trip Bedchair has superseded last year’s Mega Bite Bedchair, but for those who are on a tight budget but require a little more room, the Terabite Bedchair remains in the range.

Every Bedchair and Chair that features adjustable legs now comes as standard with our unique Rock-Steady™Leg System which offers a super sturdy and stable footing, even when extended to the maximum height.

RODS We’ve done a lot of work over the last few years on our rods and we now believe that this range has something to offer everyone.

Our Traction rods remain very popular with a length and test curve to suit any fishing situation.

The Curvex rods were introduced last year and were developed with the help of our European consultants. The 10ft model has become a favourite amongst boat anglers, both in the UK and Europe.

We have added a new rod to the range this year in the form of the Extremity.

These rods have been tested and developed closely with Avid consultant Chris Lowe who required a rod to fish at extreme range with great accuracy. The result of a lengthy development period must be seen to be fully appreciated.

We have worked closely with our team of consultants in Europe and the UK to bring you a comprehensive range of rods that will not only perform better when fishing from a boat, but actually help you to control and land fish much easier.

Fishing from a boat can be difficult at the best of times, so why not make things as easy as possible with the help of the Curvex rods.

During the testing process, we also asked Avid consultant Ellis Brazier to use the Curvex rods for a full winter.

Ellis likes to use light lines and very small hooks for his winter fishing, which would put the Curvex to the ultimate test.

Ellis used the rods to great success, even fishing snaggy areas. Due to the soft parabolic action of the Curvex rods, you can really bend into a fish without the fear of pulling hooks.

So, if you like a rod that bends or if you fish from a boat then look no further than the Curvex.

TRACTION RODS All Avid Traction rods boast a new Reactive carbon fibre technology, wrapped in matt 3k weave that enables us to offer a unique take on a traditional ‘parabolic’ action. This enables anglers to deliver a slower power build up for casting, offering distance gains with minimal effort. Reactive carbon also helps absorb the lunges of fighting fish better than other rods, giving the angler more control when it really matters. This careful blend of technologies provides the perfect action for modern carp fishing.

• 3k weave with high quality matt finish • Reactive parabolic carbon technology • Matt black guides • Full length Japanese Shrink Wrap handle

TERMINAL TACKLE Our end tackle has undergone somewhat of a transformation with the long-awaited introduction of the Outline End Tackle range.

We have spent countless hours researching, developing and testing the range with our CAD team and consultants to ensure that the finished products are the best quality possible.

We have received so many positive comments and messages from both happy anglers and people within the industry that love the new range, it really has made all the effort and hard work worthwhile.

The introduction of our new Pin Down Leader and Hooklink materials have also had a great reception from anglers all across Europe.

The original Pin Down materials were amongst our most popular items so it was only natural that when we discovered advancements with the materials we use, we simply had to incorporate this into the finished products.

Both our Outline Mono Reel Line & Fluorocarbon Leader material remain pride of place and are widely used by anglers all across Europe.

In the later pages of this section you will find imitation baits, our range of Zig fishing products, Hooks, Rig tools and much more.

OUTLINE END TACKLE Our Outline End Tackle range is the result of two years of rigorous product development and testing using the latest technology available, culminating, in our opinion, as the very best in end tackle concealment.

The unique camo finish featured on the range has endured full underwater testing on a whole host of different lakebeds to create the very best colouring possible for rig concealment.

With its semi-transparent pigment and camo fleck finish, the range seamlessly blends in to any underwater environment it is presented on. The need to carry a variety of different coloured end tackle is now a thing of the past.

This innovative range contains all of the core items used in modern day carp fishing, making it a ‘must have’ inside your tackle box.

This incredible reel line breaks up its own Outline underwater, making it harder for carp to detect than standard single-colour monofilaments. The clear finish has been combined in a two-tone construction with a specially developed algae-coloured tint, to offer new levels of invisibility. The material itself has excellent knot strength but remains smooth for casting. It’s abrasion resistant qualities marry beautifully with it’s slightly absorbent nature, making it the perfect line for modern carp fishing.

• Mega supple and slightly porous, so it sinks well

This impressive fluorocarbon breaks up its own outline to offer unrivalled invisibility in water.

Fluorocarbon can be quite conspicuous when off the lakebed, so by using an algae-tinted two-tone construction, the outline is very hard to distinguish at all levels in the water column.

This makes Outline Fluorocarbon a very special leader material or hooklink, marrying supreme sinking qualities with new levels of invisibility, great knot strength and abrasion resistance.

MARKER FLOAT AVMF It’s durable and made from a super buoyant material so it will rise to the surface effortlessly.

By separating the flights from the body and shaping it similar to a dart, this aerodynamic float will fly straight every time. It is finished in a high-vis orange colour so it is visible at range.

BOTTLE MARKERS MARKER FLOAT KIT AVMFKIT Contains everything you need to start feature finding. The products in the kit have been designed and developed to work together, and will allow you to find out exactly what the lake bed in front of you is like.

CONTAINS • 1x Marker Float • 1x 3oz Marker Lead

• 1x 4oz Marker Lead • 2x Buffer Beads

AVBM 2 per pack Designed specifically for boat work, these Bottle Markers allow anglers to keep their main line off the lake bottom between their rod tip and lead, ensuring that it sits above any snags or obstructions on the lake bed.

Before attaching your rig or leader, you need to attach two of the supplied Rubber Beads to your main line. As you drop your rig from the boat, one bead should be set a few feet above your rig and the other should be positioned a couple of feet over depth, to give the float a little bit of movement. Once you’ve dropped your rig into position, attach the Bottle Marker to your main line, between the two beads, using the clip on the elasticated section of the Marker.

With the Bottle Marker now on the surface of the lake, you can head back to the bank, safe in the knowledge your main line is going to be above any snags and out of harms way. When it comes to landing a fish, the beads will simply slide down your mainline, allowing you to land the carp without any problems.

• Ultra-buoyant construction • Finished in high visual colour • Reflective section for night use • Supplied with 12 purpose-designed beads

MARKER LEADS AVMLD Boasting unique grooves, they transmit more information through the rod tip than a standard lead and gather debris from the bottom. They have a solid stem which gives a more accurate reading in weed. The swivel on the stem is positioned away from the lead so the float will always rise even if the lead is covered in debris.

• Aerodynamic body, casts straight and true every time • Unique grooves transmit more information PACK CONTAINS • 1 x 3oz lead
