Welcome to the ultimate destination for Trakker Fishing Tackle. At Gerry’s Fishing, we have championed Trakker since their early days because they represent the same values we do: innovation, reliability, and an uncompromising commitment to the angler. Whether you are looking for the lightning-fast setup of the Tempest RS or the unrivaled lumbar support of the Levelite ELS sleep systems, you are in the right place.
In this definitive guide, we’ll dive into the fascinating history of Trakker—from its roots in the Sheffield steel industry to its status as a global leader—and explore the 2026 product range that is currently filling our 20,000 square foot warehouse.
The story of Trakker is a classic tale of British ingenuity. Founded in the early 1990s, the company was originally known as Rainbow Angling Supplies. Based in Sheffield, the brand emerged during a period of significant change in the local steel industry.
Initially, Rainbow Angling Supplies functioned as a bespoke manufacturer, producing high-quality luggage and shelters for other major tackle companies. However, as the “China boom” of the late 90s changed the manufacturing landscape, the team decided to pivot. They transitioned from being an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to a brand in their own right: Trakker Products.
Trakker didn’t just join the market; they disrupted it. They were among the first to move away from heavy, cumbersome nylon toward the breathable, high-performance fabrics we now know as Aquatexx. Their “pram-hood” bivvies and “Super-light” ranges became legendary across the UK and Europe.
Today, Trakker is the centerpiece of the Cipher group, alongside sister brands Aqua Products and Cygnet. Despite their global reach, they maintain that gritty, quality-focused Sheffield ethos, ensuring every product is designed by anglers, for anglers.
When you choose to buy your Trakker gear from Gerry’s Fishing, you aren’t just buying from a website; you’re buying from a 45-year legacy of expertise.
Massive Live Stock Levels: Our Morecambe superstore is supported by an enormous 20,000 sq ft warehouse. If you see it online, we have it in the building.
The 2026 Collection: We are proud to be a premier Trakker partner, meaning we receive the latest 2026 releases—like the Tempest RS Brolly and the Levelite ELS MF beds—before anyone else.
Technical Knowledge: Our team doesn’t just read the boxes. We fish with Trakker gear. Want to know if the NXC Camo luggage fits perfectly under the Levelite Oval? Just ask us.
Trakker has entered 2026 with a focus on “Refined Performance.” Below are the flagship ranges you’ll find in stock at Gerry’s.
The Tempest RS is the 2026 evolution of the most successful bivvy design in history. The “RS” stands for Rapid Shelter, and it introduces the new Rapid Knuckle System.
| Specification | Tempest RS 100 (1-Man) | Tempest RS 150 (Large 1-Man) |
| Material | Enhanced Aquatexx™ (25,000mm HH) | Enhanced Aquatexx™ (25,000mm HH) |
| Block System | GRP Composite (Fatigue Resistant) | GRP Composite (Fatigue Resistant) |
| Weight | 9.4kg (Bivvy only) | 11.2kg (Bivvy only) |
| Dimensions | 145cm (H) x 250cm (W) x 235cm (D) | 150cm (H) x 320cm (W) x 230cm (D) |
| Ventilation | Adaptive Ventilation® (360° Airflow) | Adaptive Ventilation® (360° Airflow) |
Why it matters: The 2026 RS models feature a built-in peak and a flatter back design. This means you get more internal room for your bedchair while maintaining a smaller footprint in tight swims.
“ELS” (Extra Lumbar Support) and “MF” (Memory Foam) are the keywords for 2026 comfort. Trakker has taken their award-winning Levelite frame and integrated a high-density memory foam mattress that contours to your body.
Frame: Completely flat profile with an integrated spirit level for perfect leveling.
Legs: 8-leg system on wide models for maximum weight distribution.
Mattress: Railed mid-section for optimum lumbar support (no more sagging).
Weight: 19.5kg (Wide System including bag).
Dimensions: 215cm (L) x 100cm (W).
Gerry’s Take: If you struggle with a bad back during long sessions, the ELS MF System is the single best investment you can make. The memory foam is temperature-neutral, meaning it doesn’t get rock-hard in winter.
The Propel range has been a staple for distance casting. For 2026, Trakker has upgraded the range with Ceramic Guides.
The Benefit: Ceramic guides reduce friction during the cast, adding vital yards to your distance. They are also far more durable when using abrasive braided lines.
The Blank: Built on a slim, 1k carbon aircraft-grade blank with a fast recovery.
Availability: We stock the full range, from the 10ft “Stalking” models to the 13ft 3.75lb distance machines.
Trakker spent years developing the dB7-R to ensure it was the most reliable alarm on the market.
Technical Specifications:
Sensing: PS (Power Sensing) for accurate bite detection.
Weatherproofing: IPX6 rated (can handle extreme weather).
Connectivity: 1:1 sync with the receiver.
Battery Life: Advanced low-current circuitry for 500+ hours of use.
Uses: These alarms are for the angler who wants a “set and forget” system. They are incredibly rugged and feature a unique “Nite-Glo” LED mode that provides a soft glow without draining the battery.
Replacing the classic NXG for those who prefer the camo aesthetic, the NXC range is Trakker’s most modular luggage yet.
Technical Specifications:
Material: 600D Hard-wearing Camo Polyester.
Base: Heavy-duty, waterproof PVC base.
Zips: Oversized #10 heavy-duty zips.
Key Items: NXC Pro Carryall, NXC Rig-R Box, and NXC Chilla Bag.
Uses: The NXC range is designed to be a system. The bitz pouches fit perfectly into the main carryalls, and the Chilla Bag uses high-performance thermal foil to keep your bait (or your lunch) fresh for 48 hours.
We understand that when Trakker announces a new product, you want it immediately. That’s why we maintain a “Deep Stock” philosophy.
Spare Parts: We are one of the few retailers that stocks spare Tempest poles, Quicksticks, and groundsheet pegs.
Clothing: Our clothing department holds the full TechPro and CR clothing ranges in sizes from Small to 3XL.
Bait Care: We carry the full range of Sanctuary fish care products, including the 2026 Corral V2 and T1 Retention Slings.
What is the “Rapid Knuckle System” on the new Tempest RS?
The Rapid Knuckle System is a 2026 mechanical upgrade that allows all five main ribs to lock into place in one movement. It eliminates the need to tension each pole individually, making the Tempest RS the fastest-erecting bivvy in the Trakker catalog.
Is Aquatexx EV better than standard 210D polyester?
Absolutely. Aquatexx EV has a 25,000mm hydrostatic head rating, which is over double the industry standard. More importantly, it is highly breathable, which allows moisture from your breath to escape, drastically reducing condensation compared to cheaper polyester bivvies.
Can I put a 2-man bedchair in a Tempest 100?
The Tempest 100 is designed as a “standard” 1-man shelter. While a wide bedchair (like the Levelite Wide) will fit, a 2-man bedchair will be too deep. If you want a 1-man bivvy with “extra” room, we recommend the Tempest RS 150.
What does “Oval” mean in the Trakker Levelite range?
The Levelite Oval is a revolutionary shape that is wider in the middle but tapered at the head and foot. This allows the bed to be pushed further back into the “curve” of a bivvy, freeing up massive amounts of floor space compared to a rectangular bedchair.
Are Trakker sleeping bags 3-season or 5-season?
Most Trakker sleep systems are 4-season as standard. However, many (like the Levelite ELS) feature a reversible inner that can be used as a 3-season bag in summer or a 5-season bag in winter when paired with an optional thermal cover.
How do I adjust the legs on a Levelite bed?
Trakker uses a patented leg mechanism. You simply push a button and the leg automatically drops to the ground and locks. This is much faster and more reliable than the traditional “twist-lock” systems.
What is the range of the dB7-R receiver?
In clear conditions, the receiver has a range of up to 200 meters. However, Trakker prioritizes “connection integrity” over raw distance, ensuring you get an instant signal even through thick foliage.
How do I clean my Trakker luggage?
The NXC and NXG ranges are made from treated polyester. You should clean them with a damp cloth and warm water. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can damage the internal PVC waterproof linings and the rigidity of the padding.
What is the Trakker “Cool Guy” system?
The Cool Guys are specialized guy ropes for the Tempest RS. They allow you to peg out the rear vents to create an “awning” effect, maximizing airflow during the summer while still providing shade and protection from light rain.
Does Trakker own Aqua Products?
Both Trakker and Aqua are owned by the Cipher group. While they share some resources, they remain separate brands. Aqua is known for its heritage and “classic” feel, while Trakker is the hub for high-tech, rapid-erect innovation.
Where is Trakker tackle designed?
All Trakker products are designed and developed at their headquarters in Sheffield, England. This allows their team of expert anglers and product designers to test gear on demanding UK venues before it goes into production.
Trakker is a brand that has never stopped moving forward. From the revolutionary Tempest block to the 2026 ELS MF sleep systems, they continue to define what “luxury” and “efficiency” mean in carp fishing. At Gerry’s Fishing, we are proud to be the UK’s premier Trakker partner, offering the stock levels and expert advice you need to fish at your best
