This one has served me well for the last few years, across UK & EU. The bag it comes in has failed but the mat itself is still going strong, incredible for the price

Have used both Emovis & Bip & Go, B&G much smoother & cheaper and arrived within a couple of days, app is super easy to use as well

Make sure you get a SUP pump that rates up to the required PSI for the boat tubes & the inflatable floor - floor is usually higher & need it to be rock hard for it to do it's job

Loads of options on Amazon and the like, I bought a cheap one first for 50ish from memory, lasted me a couple of seasons of trips (multiple inflate/deflate each time, plus transport boat & mat) before packing up. Invested in a proper one that was 100ish and it's done a season and a half without fault

+1 on this - absolute night & day, similar to portable power or solar - best to buy from the brands where this is their absolute day to day, not just another 1 of 1000 different product categories

I've used a toothbrush & warm water without anything else in it & it's worked. Was worried soap or bleach would affect the duplon so avoided it - shrink wrap could be the same?

Took a while but the end result was worth it. just make you sure you leave them outside of the bag to dry before putting away

Massive stand as well, loads of luggage and bits but hard to see the difference makers vs those available in the UK. Quality looked average and the stand was always busy, seem to have a cult following but couldn't personally see the appeal

I really rate the Uncut ones, none of them take themselves too seriously and they seem to have a laugh while doing it.

Been listening to the Baitworks one for a long time & rate almost all of them, those with Simon Scott are particular faves and a little different to the usual. Also the one with DK and his tigers was excellent, normal blood with a family and a business on the side but still doing it his way.

Used this set up a fair bit on a few lakes in France, have a small Evian bottle with a swivel in the top glued in & set a stop knot (tag ends long enough to catch in the eye of the swivel to hold it but the bottle can still go over if needed when pressure is applied) on the line at the depth needed. Heavy lead & relatively long leadcore to fluro leader & set the stop knot about 20ft from the spot - these lakes had some savage bars between me and the spot so was more aimed at keeping the line up off these).

Never had any issues with getting bites or fish dragging everything into the snags with this set up, fiddly to get right but well worth it

Avid also a sell a float for this type of fishing if you didn't want to make your own.
