Why Buy Advanta Fishing Tackle?
Advantaconfidently covers many fishing disciplines: carp fishing, coarse fish fishing, match fishing, predatory fish fishing, saltwater fishing and special fishing. However, Angling Direct's Advanta range also has its own philosophy which is to guarantee the highest level of quality but offer it at reasonable prices.
We all know that being comfortable on the bank can make a huge impact on your angling success (or otherwise) and this bedchairuses a whole range of top notch technology in order to ensure that you can enjoy a blissful night of rest on the bank.
First things first, this bedchair uses memory foam in its mattress. Memory foam is a significantly more comfortable material than traditional foam as it literally moulds to the shape of your body, offering you the precision support where you need it the most. Long gone are the days of waking up with a stiff neck and back after a poor night’s sleep – with this Advanta Bedchair you’ll wake up from a fully rested night raring to fish! The memory foam mattress is completely removable, too. This ensures that it is exceptionally easy to clean, should it fall victim to the general dirt and grime which comes part and parcel with life on the bankside. This bedchair has been designed for use year-round and the mattress on this chair ahs been fleece covered.
The Advanta Protector Peak Bivvyis a great addition to the range, offering a spacious shelter to you and one other during the long sessions or overnight stays. The bivvy has maximised internal space design, that provides plenty of room for two bedchairs as well as any luggage and tackle. The large peak on the exterior of the bivvy offers a maximised protection against the brutal British weather, keeping the entrance drier for when popping in and out when the bite alarm sounds. The rain can also bounce off this bivvy thanks for it being made from 5000HH, 210D polyester with taped seams. The bivvy also features a rain gutter that lets pools of water treacle down the allocated parts of the bivvy.
The structure is secure with the two-pole frame being manufactured from rigid 16mm 6061 aluminium. These poles have three joints keeping the construction quick and easy. Ideal in case you need to quickly whip up the bivvy when the weather takes a turn! The bivvy can be anchored into the ground without issue as the bivvy features reinforced pegging points that have two height settings on the front panels depending on how close to the ground you peg. Advanta supplies this with heavy-duty T-pegs.
Perfect for carp angling, the Advanta Protector Hi-Loft Cradle is able to retain more water, for longer, making a pool in the centre of the cradle where the fish would lay. This will keep the carp calm and comfortable while you unhook and set up your camera, and prepare everything for a completely smooth return. The mesh drainage panels at either end of the cradle ensure that the hole cradle does not become waterlogged during the release, which helps prevent mould and deterioration of the fabric. These side drainage holes also ensure that your Hi-Loft cradle remains functional and safe for many carping sessions to come.
The Protector cradle features a deep mattress section for increased fish care comfort. The material of the hammock centre is made from PVC, offering waterproof, easy to wipe clean benefits. This means you do not end up with a stinky fish slime mat at the end of the session to carry back to the car. The hammock design of the cradle means that a fish’s weight in the centre will prevent it from flipping out of the cradle/ off the mat and injuring itself. The cradle also has padding around the full perimeter of the frame to ensure when placing carp from the net to the mat that it does not catch on any sharp corners or edges of the mat.
If you’re looking for a shelter that’s the perfect blend of style and substance, then the DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) Low Rider Brollywill set you up in sharp bankside style, while ensuring you have plenty of space for all your carpy kit. The Advanta Discovery CCX DPM Low Rider Brolly features a 10000HD to ensure you stay dry however bad the weather gets, and is made from 210D polyester, which ensures a durable level of warmth and protection. Perfect for carp and coarse fishing, this shelter gives you space, protection, and bankside style.
A curved, open profile gives you a panoramic view of the lake whilst keeping you protected from the elements, and a full length rain gutter brings added protection. The extended side storm panels are fully taped for complete weather protection, while a series of storm poles give you a shelter that will stand up against the most vigorous bankside breezes.
Advanta Endurance Memory Foam Low Chair is the perfect chair for use inside a bivvy or shelter. The low profile of this chair offers superior head clearance in the bivvy or shelter and it is also the perfect solution for angling under low hanging trees. This design makes it ideal for the stealth angler fishing in secret swims, as well as for the taller angler who is fed up with backache after spending hours hunched under a brolly. Designed with comfort, strength, and durability in mind, the Advanta Endurance Memory Foam Low Chair is the ideal chairfor the dedicated carp or specimen angler who is fed up with spending their time at the bank in discomfort.
The generously padded memory foam mattress on this chair works to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the duration of your time on the bank. Finished with a suede effect fabric, this chair looks classy without requiring all the upkeep and maintenance of real suede, as well as being soft to the touch. The mattress ensures that your back is supported, too, as well as proves to cushion all your key pressure points. Integrated armrests add an additional level of comfort to this chair – in fact, this chair is so comfortable that even when your bite alarm is screaming you’ll hardly want to leave it!
The Advanta Big Pit free spin 8000 reelis built around an ultra-lightweight body. The reduced weight means casting long distances is made easier and more accurate by increasing the speed of the rod during the cast and reducing wobble associated with heavy reels. The free spin facility is fully adjustable meaning you can allow lines to be taken with varying amounts of tension to suit the fishing situation. Once a fish is hooked and is taking line the free spin facility can be disengaged by either turning the handle or flicking the switch on the back of the reel manually.
The Advanta Big Pit reel features a quick drag system, super slow oscillation for improved line lay, a deep aluminium spool with line friendly line clip and a 6+1 Stainless steel ball-bearing construction. The internal gears are made using the highest quality materials and are built around a strong worm shaft gear structure to ensure maximum winding power when playing fish or retrieving rigsfrom long distances.
Designed with the serious predator angler in mind, this folding rubber netis ideal for the angler who likes to travel light, and have the freedom to stalk the bank, following the fish, without being weighed down by tackle and equipment, or for pike anglerstaking a boat out to the deeper water drop-offs that pike like to hide out in, particularly during winter, when their aim is to do as little as possible in order to conserve energy and keep warm while the temperatures are low.
The fully folding design of this net saves space in a small area such as a boat and is quick and easy to get out into the water, while the fully retractable, telescopic handle gives you excellent reach without the bulk of a fixed-length handle. Finishing off all this functionality is a rubberised knotless mesh, that effortlessly avoids snagged hooks. A snagged hook not only damages your net, potentially necessitating its replacement, but it can also stress the fish, resulting in a struggle to recover when it’s returned to the water. A strong yet lightweight aluminium frame makes this the easy-to-use landing net you can rely on.
If you’ve ever spent a long night shivering on your bedchair, trying and failing to sleep, then you’ll know that a sub-zero night on the bank has its own special space reserved in hell. No night has felt longer than one spent desperately tired but unable to sleep – that’s not the mention of the dampener that it can put on the following day’s fishing! This is why investing in a proper, high-quality sleeping bag is absolutely vital.
the Advanta Discovery CX5 Five-Season Sleeping Bag has its luxurious peach skin cotton outer shell. This is ultra-soft to the touch, so you can enjoy comfort on the bank at all times. You’ll notice that the bottom section of this bag has been lined with nylon fabric. This is a ‘wellie wipe’ section and it has been designed to allow you to lounge on your bedchair with your boots or waders on – ready to respond to your bite alarm the second it screams without having to worry about pulling on your boots.
The Advanta Discovery CCX Relaxa Lite chair is presented in stylish DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) and is ideal for those anglers who want a bit of extra space and comfort, but don’t want to have to carry additional bulk, giving you a lightweight yet durable piece of fishing furniture, with a fold-flat frame that gives you an effortless profile for transporting on a barrow, and packing it in the car at the end of the day.
Strong armrests, covered with soft-touch fabric, give you a touch of durable luxury. The seat itself is easy to adjust, and an integral locking mechanism ensures that, once you’re settled in position, you know the chair will hold up, however active you are during your session. The long leg system is also fully adjustable and locking, giving you the flexibility to adapt to any bank terrain while ensuring you have a completely stable base, with swivel fold flat mud feet that can match any bankside surface, including slick, muddy banks.
The Protector Straight Eight Bed provides a feature-packed bedchair at a reasonable price, something the Advanta brand has become synonymous with. The generously padded mattress and perimeter padding on the frame ensure a comfortable night's sleep. Working in conjunction with this is a fully adjustable lumbar support system which utilises rope instead of elastic to provide greater support for your back.
The Straight Eight also utilises a lightweight construction, the aluminium and steel frame offers both low weight and great strength, the dual fold bracket system allows for a sleeping bag to be folded up inside the bedchair during transit and results in the Straight Eight being the perfect bedchair for the roving angler.
