ESP was launched in early 1999 and the initials literally stand for Extra Sensory Perception – or 'sixth sense'.
Prior to the brand launch, various names were being kicked around and the ESP name was inspired by an off-the-cuff remark made about Terry Hearn, the brand's longtime consultant.
It was suggested that he caught so many big, difficult to catch carp that he must have some sort of sixth sense or extra sensory perception - so the name stuck and ESP was born!
The Camo Barra Bag is more suited as a 'barrow bag' due to its large 50-litre capacity. Inside the large, roomy central storage compartment, there are three pockets built onto the sidewalls.

The Onyx Big Pit reel features a matt black finish with subtle red decals and wooden handle. When ESP first started developing the ESP reel over two years ago we looked closely at other reels on the market, plus the reels we had been using ourselves for many years. All had impracticalities (after all, most 'big pit carp' reels are actually developed with sea fishing in mind) which could be vastly improved upon. So we identified certain crucial areas and set about developing a reel which would be a highly practical and durable carp fishing tool.
Introducing the baby brother of the original ESP Onyx reel, the new Compact version features all of the same excellent technical attributes of the original, but in a smaller, lighter (200g lighter) unit.
Carpy green, these are available in two sizes, with the 0.6litre model capable of filling two mugs, and the larger 1 litre model offering up to four cups.
