Team Vass 220 Bib & Brace w/Knee All-day comfort for anglers and outdoor pros
Team Vass 220 Bib & Brace w/Knee is built for all-day wear. If you’re wondering how to choose knee-integrated bib and brace for long days on the bank or boat, this design answers that need with integrated knee protection and weight distribution. The bib-and-brace design distributes weight more evenly across the torso and hips, helping reduce fatigue when you rise from kneeling or shift your stance to cast into a tricky current. Knee integration for protection and mobility
With an integrated knee area designed for added protection and mobility, this gear supports transitions from kneeling to standing without pulling at your back or shoulders. It’s ideal for knot-tying, line-mending, snag clearing, and rig resets—wherever you bend, crouch, or kneel. Durable construction for frequent use
Durability is a core consideration: the knee area features a more robust profile to withstand repeated kneeling, crouching, and scraping against rough ground beside the shore or on a boat deck, keeping you reliable day after day. Versatility beyond fishing
Although the name nods to fishing, the Team Vass 220 is suitable for outdoor tasks that involve kneeling or bending, such as fishing and site work, delivering practical protection wherever you’re on the bank, on the boat, or at the river edge. Next steps and benefits
Invest in knee-friendly protection that stays in place as conditions shift. Ready to tackle long sessions with confidence? Add the Team Vass 220 Bib & Brace w/Knee to your kit and experience steady support from first light to last cast.

Designed for easy storage and transport, this tray is the discreet bank-side companion for anglers who keep pre-tied rigs ready to go. Camouflage design for discreet bank-side use, so rigs stay out of sight from wary fish and passers-by Multiple compartments for rig storage, keeping hooks, sleeves and lengths separate and easy to locate Durable and lightweight construction that stands up to a full day on the bank without weighing you down Compact and portable, easy to stow in a bag or rucksack for quick access at your swim Perfect for keeping pre-tied rigs safe and organised, reducing tangles and the risk of damage Designed to help you work smarter, swapping rigs quickly and efficiently when the bite is on
Why the Eclipse Camo Rig Tray helps UK anglers
The Eclipse Camo finish blends with natural surroundings, helping you stay low-profile near rivers, lakes and estuaries. The tray’s multiple compartments are tailored for rig storage, so you can keep different rigs, hooks and leaders neatly separated. That organisation translates to fewer fiddly moments on the bank and more time fishing. With its durability and light weight, it’s a practical companion for long sessions and quick sessions alike, whether you’re stalking a quiet run or chasing a head-turning bite at high water. The compact form means it won’t take up precious space in a rucksack or tackle bag, yet it still provides enough room to keep a sensible range of rigs ready for changing conditions. How to use the Carplife Rig Tray Eclipse Camo
Before you head out, pre-tie your rigs and place each one into a dedicated compartment to keep them tidy and ready. Take the tray to the bank with your other gear; its compact and portable design makes transportation simple. When you reach your swim, open the tray and pick the rig you need without rummaging through loose kit, saving time and reducing tangles. After fishing, return each rig to its compartment and keep the tray closed when not in use to protect the contents. Wipe clean if it gets muddy or damp and store in a dry place to maintain its condition for longer use.
Practical care tips for longevity
To help the Eclipse Camo Rig Tray stay in good order, keep it dry when not in use and avoid prolonged exposure to the elements. If it gets wet, wipe it down and allow it to air dry before returning it to your kit bag. The durable, lightweight design is built for repeated days on the bank, but a little care goes a long way in preserving the finish and the organisation you rely on during busy sessions. What you get and who it suits
The Carplife Rig Tray Eclipse Camo is ideal for anglers who value organisation and speed on the bank. Its camouflage finish and dedicated compartments are particularly useful for those who fish in environments where discreet presentation matters, and who want a portable solution that protects pre-tied rigs while travelling between swims. If you want to reduce the risk of tangles, keep hooks safe, and swap rigs quickly in response to bites, this tray offers a straightforward, no-nonsense approach that fits into standard UK tackle setups.

Atomic Tackle Rig Putty 20g – Weed Green & Silt Brown for precise rig balance and natural presentation Blends with the lake bed in two colours – Weed Green and Silt Brown – helping your bait stay where it belongs and reducing visibility to fish. 20g pack, ideal for long sessions or multiple rig adjustments during a day on the bank. Soft and mouldable, making quick, on-the-fly adjustments simple when you need to tweak balance between hooks, weights and rigs. Designed to sink rigs and keep them on the bottom in weed or silty conditions, promoting a natural, bottom-presenting presentation. Easy to apply and remove, so you can tweak your setup between casts without hassle. Covers a range of environments from weed beds to soft silt, helping rigs look more discreet in different lakebeds.
The Atomic Tackle Rig Putty is built for anglers who want precise control over rig balance and a natural presentation in UK waters. With two colour options that blend into common lakebeds, this 20g pack stays true to the bottom, keeping your bait in the strike zone even when weed or soft silt threatens to obscure it. The putty’s soft, mouldable texture lets you shape it quickly to match your rig layout, so you can respond to changing conditions on the bank without losing time or confidence. Whether you’re balancing a lead, a bomber, or a pop-up rig, this putty helps you achieve a clean, bottom-first presentation that doesn’t shout at wary fish. What makes this putty different
In weed and silty settings, presentation matters more than ever. The Weed Green and Silt Brown colours are chosen to blend with typical UK lakebeds, helping rigs disappear from the fish’s view as they approach the bait. The weight you create with the putty stays with the bottom, encouraging your rig to settle more naturally and reducing the chance of lifts or dragging that can spook fish. The 20g size is convenient for long sessions, giving you enough material to balance multiple setups, while still being light enough to transport easily in a tackle bag or pocket on the bank. Usage instructions
Pinch off a small amount of rig putty and warm it in your fingers to soften; this makes shaping easier and improves adhesion to your rig. Position the putty on the rig where you want the balance to be, typically behind the hook or near the weight, depending on your rig design and target depth. Shape it into a small, smooth blob or strip that sits flush with the line and weight, ensuring it won’t protrude and snag on vegetation. Press gently to secure the putty in place and check that it sinks with the rig rather than creating resistance that could lift the line. Cast, observe presentation, and adjust if needed. If you require more balance, apply a touch more putty in the same area; if you need less, remove a small amount and re-mould. When not in use, store the remaining putty in a dry place away from heat to keep its mouldable consistency for future sessions.
Common questions and practical notes
Will it hide my rig in weedy or silty bottoms? Yes. The two colour options are designed to blend with common weed and silt tones in UK stillwaters, helping the rig present more naturally as it sinks.
Is it easy to remove after a session? Yes. The putty is described as easy to apply and remove, so you can tweak rigs on the move or adjust after a quick check in the margins.
Can I use it with different rig setups? The product is intended to balance hooks, weights, and rigs, making it suitable for a variety of setups. It offers versatility for different depths and lakebed conditions. Why UK anglers will find it useful
UK fishing often involves weed beds and soft silts, especially in reservoirs, stillwaters, and river mouths. The 20g pack size is practical for ongoing sessions without needing frequent re-stocks. The two-tone option makes it easier to emulate natural lakebed features and keep rigs discreet as they settle. The soft texture is forgiving in the wind and reduces the risk of tangles or interference with line and leaders, while still providing the stability you need to keep your bait aligned with the bottom where carp, chub, or rudd are most fussy about their strike zone. Care, handling and safety tips
Handle with dry hands to maintain the putty’s pliability. If you accidentally over-apply, simply remove excess material and re-shape to keep your rig’s profile clean. Store away from direct heat to preserve its mouldable texture and ensure it remains easy to use on future sessions. Related use and tips for best results
Pair this rig putty with rigs designed for bottom presentation in weedier or silty bottoms. For anglers chasing specific depths, adjust the amount of putty to help set your rig’s position relative to the lakebed and surface float or weight system. While the two colour options cover typical lakebed environments, always consider the current conditions on the water and tailor the amount and placement of putty accordingly to maintain a natural, bottom-hugging presentation.
Atomic Tackle Rig Tubing: Stealthy, durable protection for rigs in silt, weed and gravel.
Durable, high-quality flexible tubing built to withstand tough conditions. Available in Silt Brown, Silt Grey and Weed Green to match different lakebed conditions. Blends with weed, silt and gravel for a natural presentation and stealthy setup. Tangle-resistant design helps prevent tangles, keeping your rig in the optimal position. Protects your fishing line from wear and damage, extending rig life. Easy to thread onto your rig, making set-up quick and straightforward. Versatile for a range of fishing environments—from weedy lakes to silty waters.
The tubing helps prevent tangling and improves rig presentation. It protects your fishing line from wear and damage, and, by blending naturally with the lakebed, keeps your setup discreet. Available in three colours to match different fishing environments, it’s a small upgrade that can pay off over a long session on the bank.
Designed with UK anglers in mind, the Atomic Tackle Rig Tubing is a practical add-on for stealth rigs and longer sessions by the water. It’s a simple upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in both bite detection and line durability on soggy or weed-choked bottoms.
How to use Atomic Tackle Rig Tubing
Choose the colour that best matches the lakebed you’re fishing—Silt Brown, Silt Grey or Weed Green. Thread the tubing onto your rig. It’s designed to be easy to thread and to stay in place once positioned. Slide the tubing along the rig to reduce tangling and help your presentation sit discreetly on the bottom. “Dress” the tubing so it follows the line naturally, especially in weed or silty venues where concealment matters. Cast and fish as usual; the tubing remains a subtle, protective feature that travels with your rig.
Why UK anglers choose this tubing
Stealth and protection matter on long Bank sessions across UK rivers and lakes. The three available colours give you flexibility to match local bottom conditions, whether you’re fishing weed-choked margins or soft silts. The tangle-resistant design helps keep rigs in the right position even when lures and rigs get bumped by weed, reeds or gusty winds. By shielding the line from abrasion, it can extend the life of your rig between re-ties, making those hours on the bank more productive.
Tips for best results on UK waters
Match colour to the most common bottom in your local venues: weed green for weed-dominated spots, silt brown or grey for silty bottoms. Keep the tubing smoothly aligned with the line to maintain a clean, discreet presentation near the bottom. Use in venues with mixed bottoms—the multi-colour option lets you adapt quickly without swapping tackle. Include a small spare length in your tackle bag so you’re ready for varied spots during a session.
Related considerations for long sessions
As an inexpensive upgrade, this rig tubing complements stealth rigs and additional protection gear you might already use. If you’re planning a full day by the water, having a few pieces in your kit can save time and help you stay in the zone longer. The available colours ensure you can react to changing spots in a single session without swapping rigs.
