4 things to look for in a bivvy


A carp bivvy is a type of shelter that carp anglers use to stay comfortable and protected from the weather during their fishing sessions. A carp bivvy can vary in size, shape, design, and features, depending on your preferences and needs. Here are some steps to help you purchase a carp bivvy:

1. Decide on the size and capacity of your carp bivvy. Do you need a one-man, two-man, or larger bivvy? How much space do you need for your bed, chair, luggage, and other gear? How often do you plan to use your bivvy and for how long?


2. Choose the type and style of your carp bivvy. There are different types of carp bivvies, such as pram-hood, dome, peak, or brolly systems. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as ease of setup, stability, ventilation, and protection. You can also choose between single-skin or twin-skin bivvies, which offer different levels of insulation and condensation control.


3. Compare the features and specifications of different carp bivvies. Some of the features you may want to look for are: the material and durability of the bivvy fabric, the strength and weight of the frame and poles, the quality and number of zips, windows, doors, and vents, the presence and size of a groundsheet, a front porch, or an overwrap, and the accessories and extras that come with the bivvy, such as pegs, carry bag, tension bars, etc.


4. Check the reviews and ratings of other carp anglers who have used the carp bivvies you are interested in.

About richardhandel

I would like to give a brief snap shot of my life and introduce myself; My name is Richard Handel and was born in 1965 in Suffolk. I have worked as a UK Operation & Intermodule Manager for a shipping company. I live in Hampshire now and am married with 2 young children, both girls so I am a bit outnumbered even the cat is a girl! I have been fishing since I was about 7 years old. I started on small local rivers in Suffolk, then moved onto gravel pits and then carp fishing. My personal best is a 39.08 mirror, over recent years I have started river fishing again, on the Hampshire Avon, this is a nice break from the carp lakes. My life has turned a big corner this year, the company I was working for relocated their Operation centre to Estonia. I was offered a job at the head office in London. This would have meant a 5 day commute and working in Stratford. As a family, we did not fancy this, as I would hardly spend any time with the children (and the Mrs). So after 22.5 years, I was given a nice redundancy package and with my wife is working full time. I became the house husband. This has meant a complete turn around in my fishing, as I can pick and choose when I go. I have found a splendid new syndicate to fish this year, which includes 5 lakes and some 8 miles of river with only 150 members. It's an amazing change to the way I am able to fish. I am now trying to start my own tackle business and make a bit of a name for myself in the world of fishing, as I have retired from real work. Richard
