Carp Prologic Bivvies & Shelters * Firestarter Fishing Insta-Zebo

Prologic Firestarter Fishing Insta-Zebo

If you’re a long session angler who is looking for a compact place to store your luggage on the bank or you’re someone who likes to have a bit of a social time whilst you’re catching fish, you’ll love the Prologic Firestarter Insta-Zebo session shelter. Combing the protection of a gazebo with the easy solo setup of a bivvy, the Insta-Zebo is the perfect choice for the angler who wants extra storage space on the bank but who doesn’t want to feel cluttered with gear. It has a pack down size of only 128cm x 25cm x 25cm, meaning that you’ll still have plenty of room in your boot or barrow for all your other tackle essentials. As well as a small pack down, the Insta-Zebo only tips the scales at 7.6kg. This means that you never need feel weighed down by this shelter.

The Prologic Firestarter Insta-Zebo is a square based shelter, to allow you to make the most of the room, and it has a footprint of 240cm x 240cm. This ensures that you have ample space to store your gear, as well as giving you plenty of floor space for you and your friends to socialise. What’s more, the bivvy is a full 185cm tall at its highest point. This equates to 6ft in old money, ensuring that the average angler will be able to stand completely upright in the shelter. This is excellent if you’re on a long session and are faced with miserable weather, as this shelter gives you somewhere to remove you waterproof clothing and stand tall.

The Prologic Firestarter Insta-Zebo has been specifically designed as a social shelter. One of its key features is the mozzie mesh windows on each side of the shelter. This means that you can set the Firestarter Insta-Zebo up in a central point between your and your friends’ swims and you’re able to spend time in the shelter whilst still looking out over your rods. After all, you’d hate to miss a rolling fish or, even worse, a take because you were too busy sheltering and socialising over a cup of tea. These mozzie mesh vents also ensure that you can experience excellent air flow in even the stuffiest scenarios.

In fact, one of the biggest benefits of the Prologic Firestarter Insta-Zebo is its impressive ventilation. If you remove the skull cap on the shelter you’ll notice that the roof of the shelter is entirely manufactured from mozzie mesh. This ensures that you can let loads of light and air into the shelter, making it ideal for year round use. By affixing the skull cap, you essentially give the shelter a second skin and it becomes the perfect waterproof choice for your winter angling. The shelter also comes with a heavy duty groundsheet as standard. You might not choose to use this groundsheet, particular if you’re just going to be using this shelter as a place to socialise, but it is an excellent choice should you want to place your luggage down only to find that the ground is already sodden from the previous day’s rain.

The Prologic Firestarter Insta-Zebo prides itself on its speedy setup. It uses a central boss erection system combined with auto-locking poles. This ensures that you never have to wrestle with fiddly ribs when trying to erect the shelter. Prologic is confident that you’ll be able to setup the Insta-Zebo is a mere three minutes, which is ideal as it allows you to focus on the thing you’re really interested in: carp fishing. The Prologic Firestarter Insta-Zebo is the ideal shelter solution for the session and social angler.
