Big Carp Tackle

A mini big pit reel purpose-built for shorter carp rods (9-10ft), the SONIK Sports Insurgent 5000 packs in nearly every modern carp reel innovation into a compact, graphite body. A smooth wormshaft gear system, ultra-responsive Quick-Torque front drag, floating rotor line guard, and twin spring-loaded captive line clips make it a reel that punches well above its size, whether you're fishing tight swims or fighting a big fish at close range.

This is one of the prizes up for grabs in our 21st Anniversary Raffle, running now through August 31. Every $100 spent earns you a ticket, and prizes include $500 gift cards plus gear like this. Winners drawn live on Facebook September 4.

Shop now, earn your tickets, and you could win a full set of four to kit out your whole rod setup.

Something big is taking shape behind the scenes at Big Carp Tackle.

We're in the process of building our own carp fishing lake — a project we've been wanting to bring to life for a long time. It's still early days, but the groundwork is underway and progress is being made week by week.

No firm opening date yet, but we'll be sharing updates as things come together. If you've ever wanted a proper US carp water built by carp anglers, for carp anglers, this is one to keep an eye on.

More to come soon.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Q2 brings serious features at the most accessible price point in the Icon range. High Sensitivity Roller Wheel Detection with 5 levels picks up even the wariest bites, with drop-back differentiation and recoil elimination to cut down on false alerts. High-viz dual LEDs in 4 selectable colors flash forward and back on a take, or switch off entirely for stealth mode.

Everything from sensitivity to tone, volume, and latching time can be controlled from the Hubb receiver, so you're not trudging out to the rods in the rain for a sound check. With a 2km line-of-sight range, 1000 hours of standby time, and a rugged weatherproof hard case, this set is built to handle serious sessions.

This is one of the prizes up for grabs in our 21st Anniversary Raffle, running now through August 31. Every $100 spent earns you a ticket, and prizes include $500 gift cards plus gear like this. Winners drawn live on Facebook September 4.

Shop now, earn your tickets, and you could walk away with a brand new alarm set.
