We realise Its important to have a diverse team of anglers, ones who are in touch with the modern carp scene, anglers who are out on the bank doing it week in, week out, not only keeping in touch with the latest methods and trends but setting them! Were extremely proud of all our anglers, whether or not there household names, all of our team have years of experience and are at the forefront of our companies testing and innovation.
MAX COTTIS Braintree, Essex PBs UK 49lb 15oz Mirror / FRANCE Mirror 68lb 08oz Common 65lb I graduated to carp fishing in the mid 70s having completed my angling apprenticeship fishing for Roach and Perch from the age of five through a brief spell match fishing followed by a longer spell of specialist fishing. During my carp fishing career, Ive been fortunate enough to have enjoyed some great moments, becoming the first British angler to catch a carp over 60lb in 1985 at Lac Cassien and catching the Savays first 40lb+ carp just a couple. Throughout nearly 45 years of fishing, Ive sampled just about every aspect possible, whether it was Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys, trolling for Marlin in the Sea of Cortez, fishing for Alligator Gar in Texas, scouring Lake Nasser in Egypt for its giant Nile Perch, being knee deep in mud on the Ebro landing huge catfish or sitting on the banks of Rainbow Lake in search of a World Record Carp! It is this diversity that I believe is one of my greatest strengths. Put simply, if it swims, Ill want to try to find a way to catch it! DAVE MOORE North Yorkshire PBs UK 54lb / FRANCE Mirror 64lb 08oz Dave has fished for most of his life having been born into a fishing family. As he grew up surrounded by his brothers along with both his Father and Grandfather who were all accomplished anglers it was inevitable that Dave would follow in their footsteps. Dave admits that these people were certainly the greatest influence in his formative years. Following years of learning his skills, Dave started carp fishing in the hot summer of 1976 when he still remembers quite vividly his first ever capture like it was yesterday. Dave is not a full time angler and never will be, because fishing to him is a purely hedonistic pursuit that could never give him the satisfaction of doing a real job. He fishes for pure enjoyment and the fun of the chase and classes himself as a hunter and thats how he approaches his fishing... something his results would suggest hes got very good at! JASON GREEN Leamington Spa PBs UK 44.12 / FRANCE Mirror 71.12 Like most of us, Jason started fishing when he was a young lad accompanying his father. Following a successful spell as a junior match angler where he won a number of competitions, Jasons interest switched to carp by the age of 15 an within twelve months he had joined his first syndicate water. Now, with more than 21 years carp fishing under his belt Jason has become a very experienced angler who enjoys every aspect of the sport however he does hold a special passion for Stalking and Floater fishing where he can get up close & personal with his quarry allowing him to observe the carps behaviour and adapt his approach to fool them! In addition to these methods, Jason is also know as a big caster capable of hitting distances in excess of 200yds and he also enjoys the occasional trip abroad which has seen him take carp to over 70lb! TONY MAKEPEACE Rugby, Warks PBs UK - Common 48.08 & Mirror 41.10 / FRANCE Mirror 54.08 Tony started fishing as a young lad, learning his craft up until his mid twenties when he started to dedicate all his time in the pursuit of carp. Since then, his travels have seen him fish a wide variety of waters ranging from the little one acre farm irrigation ponds right up to the overseas reservoirs in excess of three thousand acres If you were to look at Tonys strengths, you would have to say that he is a genuine all rounder having fished and been successful on such a wide variety of waters.

JON COOPER Nuneaton Warks. PBs UK Mirror 59lb 2oz Common & 50lb 12oz Mirror / FRANCE - 62.12 Mirror & 46lb Common Jon is one of the most methodical carp anglers Ive ever seen, his attention to detail especially on his rigs is amongst the best Ive ever seen. Starting fishing as a very young lad, Carp soon took his interest and have now played a huge part in his life since the age of 12. Nearly 37 years later, running his own bait company, Pyramid Baits, Jon remains as dedicated now as hes ever been. His desire to target big fish across the country is unwavering. Over his career, Jon has been lucky enough to catch many of the UKs very large target carp from some fantastic venue including no less than 6 UK 50s which at one time included the British record Common Carp. KEVIN GRIX Norwich - Norfolk PBs UK - Common 50.07 / FRANCE Mirror 53.06 Having fished for most of his life, Kevin learnt his skills on the local broads and many gravel pits in Norfolk. One day, whilst out pleasure fishing he hooked and managed to land his first carp, a mid double on a 3lb line and a size 14 hook. It was the immense power and physical size of that fish that completely reshaped his fishing career and from that day in 1980, he has spent his time on the banks in pursuit of his passion... the carp. Carp fishing in Norfolk in those days was difficult to say the least with only a handful of waters holding good fish, however undeterred he went on to catch a number of fish over the then magical 30lb+ mark before deciding it was time to start to travel in search of even bigger fish. The following years saw Kevin fishing all the now well known venues like Lac Cassien, Lac Du Der (Chantecoq), the Orient and Salagou to name just a few! He is a modest angler who never takes himself too seriously but dont be fooled, he is an inventive angler whose attention to detail and meticulous approach to the construction of his terminal tackle and application of bait have seen him capture some amazing fish along the way. He says hes just lucky... I say, you make your own luck! ALEX BRANSBY Northampton PBs UK Mirror 45.12 I have been angling for specimen sized fish of many species for well over twenty years now and I started specialising in Carp some fifteen years back. I relish the challenge of angling for large carp in highly pressured, low stocked waters. For me, totally committing yourself both physically and mentally in the pursuit of a certain fish from such a venue and then ultimately succeeding is just about the greatest reward I can think of! I believe that the key to successful carp fishing is a mix of sound watercraft and sensible bait application along with learning to trust your instincts. The last couple of years have also seen me put pen to paper having articles published in leading carp magazines like Total Carp, Advanced Carp fishing & Crafty Carper. ANGIE LOWE West Bromwich - Midlands PBs UK Mirror 41.04 Common 41.04 Angie started fishing at around the age of 13 down the local canal however she only took up carp fishing seriously about 10 years ago when she met up with her partner Chris. Since then, they have travelled all over the country to fish different waters but her favourite venue remains the Linear Fisheries complex near Oxford. Angie says that Linear is a home from home for us and whilst the fishing on the complex can often be difficult due to the amount of pressure the fish receive but when you get it right it can be very rewarding! Both Angies P.Bs have come from this complex, her Mirror being Cut Tail at 41.04 from Manor Farm Lake and the Big Common from St Johns, also at 41.04 which has made it onto the cover of this years Linear Fisheries brochure. CHRIS LOWE West Bromwich - Midlands PBs UK Common 56lb & Mirror 46lb Chris started carp fishing seriously just over 10 years ago now and during time he has seen it go from a being a hobby to a way of life which now sees him spending as much time on the bank as possible! Chris likes to fish public access waters which means he has to stay one step ahead of the game to be consistently successful. This is undoubtedly one of his greatest strengths and it has provided him with a wealth of experience by fishing the Linear fisheries complex in Oxford over the last five years. In addition, Chris has also had enormous success at some other well known venues like Rob Hales Acton syndicate in Shropshire where he holds the current lake record Common known as Bill which weighed 55.02. His current P.B is a 56lb Common, the sadly departed Benson from Bluebell lakes.

ACE INTRO

The aim of ACE was simple, to produce a range of tackle, reliable, practical and designed to catch carp not anglers! Unlike many that had gone before, we decided to approach this differently and systematically review all the products that are used on an almost daily basis. Our focus though, was not to look at was good about each of them, I wanted to look at what was wrong then home in and start to put these often small but nonetheless annoying faults right..........for example, how many have us have spent ages trying to thread rig tubing, spend ages forming our shrink tube on a rig only to see it straighten out and useless after just one fish? I could go on, examples of camouflaged hooklink that when you strip back its pretty outer your confronted with a single coloured core, lead clips that dont discard the lead when you have fish go steaming through the weed but dump it off when you cast with a PVA bag...........the list goes on! It was only after months of ongoing development and numerous samples that I realised why so many before had settled with a product that was nearly right rather than sticking with it until they achieved their original objectives. At ACE we are proud to say that we went the extra mile, remaining true to our objectives until we arrived at what we believed to be the best product that was possible. Following more than 18 months extensive testing of ALL of our products, we are proud to say we believe we have produced the best range of terminal tackle available throughout the development, no matter what problems we encountered we never said that will do and I can assure you............we never will!

The ACE i3 alarm signifies the arrival of a new generation in intelligent bite indictor systems. Dispensing with conventional magnet/reed switches, this new alarm incorporates our new patented dual sensing TGS technology which can detect both line movement and vibration making the i3 capable of identifying even the slightest of movements. Designed from scratch, ACE set out to create the ultimate bite alarm based upon practical features, adding things like a mute control to allow you to set your indicators without having to turn the alarm off, a reliable radio system that will perform not matter what trees or undergrowth feature on the bank your fishing! Fully encapsulated electronics, radio range testing, low battery warning, night light and high visibility LEDS which allow you to select the colour of your choice all coupled with unrivalled reliability to come together to produce the most advanced bite alarm you could imagine! Fully tested over nearly two years by some of the countrys highest profile anglers, ACE are proud to say........

Weve done the testing so you dont have to!

ACE i-3 ALARM

DUAL SENSING SYSTEM - TGS (TACHO GENERATOR SENSING) Using a miniature DC motor, TGS generates a voltage signal thats proportional to the movement of the line. Interpreting these movements in two ways, by actual line movement (R) or vibration (VS) the level of sensitivity can be set to suit the most varied conditions.

ACE i-3 ALARM


6

ROLLER SENSITIVITY The R control can be set anywhere between its minimum sensitivity setting of 3/75mm, idea for flowing water to its maximum setting which will detect line movements as little as 1.5mm making it ideal for shy or wary feeding fish.

VIBRATION SENSITIVITY The VS control overrides the roller setting allowing TGS to now detect vibration movements. This mode is perfect when fishing slack lines looking for liners or for when fishing very tight lines locked up where a take will often be preceded by one or two bleeps, even before any visible movement is detected on either the rod top or on the indicator an incredible advantage when fishing tight to snags as this will often give you enough warning to be ready over your rod, providing you with that edge in extracting the fish before it dives into the snag!

FUNCTION BUTTON - MUTE Tired of listening to alarms going off up and down the bank while anglers set their indicators after casting out? ............Have you forgotten to turn your alarm on after resetting your indicator only to hear your spool going? The unique MUTE features allows you to put the alarm to sleep while you set up your indicator without have to turn alarm off. Head automatically reverts to live mode ready to detect a take after 30 secs.

CHANGEABLE LED COLOUR Tastes change, want to switch indicator colours?.........Now you are no longer a stuck with one LED colour! Simply hold the function button, turn the tone control and select from six colours, RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE & PURPLE to match your new bobbins. Once chosen, simply release the button and push 3 times to set the new colour!

SUPER BRIGHT LEDS Extremely bright LEDS which are easily visible even in bright sunlight, they feature a wide viewing angle allowing you to see them even when sat to the side of your rods.
* Betalights not included.

RANGE TEST Often wondered if you receiver will work in your mates swim? Our range test facility allows you to check the signal strength on your receiver as you move away from the alarms. Signal strength is represented by 4 Green LEDS = Excellent, 4 x Yellow = Good, 4 x Red = Poor and when you go out of range the LEDS stop flashing.

NIGHT LIGHT Alternative to betalights, the night-lite produces a subtle green glow to help you position your rod centrally onto alarm during nightime..

BATTERY LIFE Always seem like your replacing your batteries? Low drain circuitry provides extended battery life over most alarms. By using a good quality alkaline battery you can expect to get in excess of 6 months from a bite alarm and up to 2 months from the receiver depending on usage.

LOW BATTERY WARNING Constantly monitors battery condition, its three stage warning system ensures you know when your battery is due for replacement.

FULLY ENCAPSULATED ELECTRONICS After a comprehensive series of quality control checks, each alarm has its circuit board fully encapsulated to protect against water ingress or condensation, the two major causes of alarm failure!

NON SLIP ROD SEAT Designed with a deep U to ensure your rod is held securely in position, it features soft touch rubber pads to prevent rod slide when fishing with your rods angled downwards. STAINLESS STEEL STUD Incorporates a 3/8 stainless steel stud for attaching alarm to your buzz bar or Bankstick. IMPACT CASE Each alarm is supplied with its own hard protective case.

ACE RECEIVER
IARS (Intelligent Alarm Recognition System) Fully intelligent - incorporating IARS, the receiver instantly replicates the LED colour and Tone settings from each individual head. Make any changes to your alarm and your receiver automatically updates the settings. Only the Volume remains independent allowing you to choose separate levels on both devices.

ACE i-3 ALARM

VIBRATION ALERT Turn the volume control fully counter clockwise to override the volume and activate the vibration alert. Ideal should you wish to receive indication of a take discreetly!

CODE ALA002

LOW BATTERY WARNING Receiver relays a low battery warning from any individual alarm by flashing a blue LED on the corresponding LED that the alarm is programmed to. In the case that the receiver battery needs replacing ALL 4 LEDS flash blue.

EASY PAIRING Simply push the Connect button to make the first LED flash then activate the alarm you wish to pair to that position, then push connect button twice to make the second LED flash, pair alarm, then repeat to add a third and forth alarm! STANDS & BACKS CASES Each receiver comes complete with a choice of plain or belt clip backs which can be used in conjunction with the stand or magnetic bivvy holder.

BETA LIGHT
High power Trigalight isotopes supplied in pairs and designed to push straight into the soft rubber slots on to i3 alarm.

PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY


b u t d o n ' t ta k e o u r w o r d f o r i t. . . . . .
I have been usinga set ofACE alarms since before there general release,and i have to be honest and say that Ive been very impressed! Not only have they been reliable and robust throughout, both very important features in an alarm but these alarms are packed full of many great features. Two of these thatstand out for me are the mute button and the dual sensing. The hard case is excellent too! Tony Makepeace. The new ACE i-3 alarms have raised the bar in technological advancement and are now at the forefront of bite indication. I have used these alarms for a long while now and Im really impressed with the whole package that ACE has put together. They have paid attention to every little detail and have also included some newinnovative ideas. These alarmshave now set a bench mark for others to follow. Jason Green. Think of all the problems you have with your current alarms, no matter how insignificant and then think of the solution? ACE Alarms have already done that! Probably the best Alarms ever made. Dave Moore. Having used the I3 Ace alarms for more than a year now I have to say that the reliability has been first class. The alarms many features are all there for good reason to help the angler with first class bite-detection a must for me on the large windswept pits that I fish these days. Designed for anglers by anglers that know what is needed when youre out there on the bank doing it week in week out. John Cooper. When I was first asked to be involved in the testing of the ACE alarms, I have to say, I was very impressed with the features they offered, taking into consideration that a bite alarm is one of a carp anglers most important bits of kit, therefore, total reliability and performance is of the uppermost importance. Having been in the game for a long time however, Im initially always very skeptical about new products, and more interested to know what their long term reliability is like! Packed with many impressive features, the i-3 alarms have not disappointed, and throughout the entire test period they have never ever let me down and their performance and reliability has never been questioned! Lee Jackson Tackle Box. Every now and then a new product comes on to the market that can vastly improve your fishing and significantly improve your catch rate. The Ace i-3 alarm is one such product with their dual sensing systems bite detection is now made far easier with false alarms now a thing of the past. Reliability, unique features, performance, ease of use, these alarms have it all. By far the most advanced alarms on the market. Tomorrows technology available today! Kevin Benham. The ACE alarms dual sensing system combines a roller movement with a vibration system which used correctly gives you a massive edge when it comes to bite indication. Undoubtedly these alarms have helped me put more fish on the bank since Ive been using them. Rob Hales. Ive been carp fishing now for 32 years and I can honestly say the ACE i3 bite alarms are the best Ive come across. The most important aspects of any bite alarm is build quality,reliability,andforward thinkingindication features thatoffer a real advantage, Im pleased to say I havefound all threeinthe i3 Mick Kavanagh. This new addition to the top end alarm market really did come as a breath of fresh air. The ACE i3 is packed with features, but rather than being an expensive toy this is apracticalpiece of kit, designed by anglers for anglers, and youll be left wondering why all alarms dont boast the same functions. Steve Broad - UK Carp. I have now been using the ACE alarms for nearly a year in torrential rain, baking heat, gale force winds and temperatures as low as minus -12 and throughout all of this time they have always performed perfectly! The dual sensing system has enabled me to detect and land many finicky feeding fish when Im sure no other alarm Id previously used would have registered a bleep. Packed with features, my favourite is the mute button. No more forgetting to turn the alarm back on after casting out a rod. In short, they are a great bit of kit which Im sure will become a firm favourite with many anglers! Paul Hunt Rainbow Carp Tours. The Ace alarms represent a significant breakthrough in design offering features and functionality beyond anything has gone before. From the ultra modern appearance to the variable LED colours, the 1-3 is more than enough to please the tackle tart in me which when coupled with the impressive control over sensitivity and operation has definitely given me a level of indication that I have never previously had before, .........something that will surely result in me putting more fish on the bank in the future! Jamie Clossick. Theres a new kid on the top-end bite alarm block and its causing quite a stir. Why? Well, in a nutshell, you could pretty much draw up a list of all of the features youd want on a bite alarm and theyd be present here, in bundles. Definitely one of the launches of 2009 and set to be an absolute winner Marc Coulson Total Carp. Ive used my ACE alarms exclusively at Rainbow for almost a year now, in heat of up to 35 degrees, the cold down to -8, and rainforest type monsoons. Reliability is the most important feature that I look for, and thats exactly what I get. Cant fault them! Martin Locke Solar Tackle.
