Neil Golden takes an in-depth look at the Sonik BANK-TEK Comfy Couch Chair, a premium carp fishing chair designed for anglers who demand maximum comfort on the bank. Built around a lightweight yet strong aluminium frame and weighing just 5.9kg, this chair is easy to transport without compromising on stability or support.

The high-back design features a luxury dual-density padded mattress, finished with a soft micro fleece covering that provides excellent insulation and comfort in cooler conditions. A high-profile headrest delivers outstanding neck support, coupled with padded armrests helps to give ultimate comfort, especially during extended use.

Practicality is a key strength of the BANK-TEK Comfy Couch Chair. The spring-loaded Grip-Lok™ leg system allows fast, secure height adjustment, while the lock-out mechanism on both front and rear legs ensures rock-solid positioning on uneven ground. Two mesh side pockets offer convenient storage for essentials such as phones, receivers, or small accessories. Finished with closing straps and a carry handle, this chair is clearly designed with the modern carp angler in mind, combining comfort, durability, and ease of use in one highly refined package.

Madison is a new fishing clothing brand entering the scene with one clear goal: deliver high-performance, reliable outerwear that stands up to real angling conditions. In this video, Iain Mitchell takes a detailed look at the Madison Thermal and Waterproof clothing range and assess how it performs where it matters most – on the bank.

The Madison Thermal Jacket and Salopettes are designed for cold weather sessions, using Primaloft insulation to trap heat while remaining lightweight and breathable. Originally developed for military use, this insulation mimics down while maintaining warmth even when wet. Fully taped seams, SBS zips, adjustable features, and a relaxed fit make this system ideal for winter fishing with layered clothing.

Iain also covers the Madison Waterproof Jacket and Trousers in Olive/Black, offering 5K waterproof and breathable protection. With storm-flap pockets, elasticated cuffs, adjustable leg openings, and recycled polyester fabrics, this suit is built for long, wet sessions and year-round use.
If you’re looking for dependable fishing clothing from a new brand that prioritises function, comfort, and value, this Madison range is well worth a closer look.
