Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers wanting a complete shelter peg kit. You get the pegs, mallet and storage case in one grab-and-go bundle.
- Anglers replacing missing or flimsy pegs. The steel construction, pointed tips and large heads are a useful step up from basic lightweight pegs.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers chasing the lightest possible luggage. Steel pegs and a mallet will weigh more than a minimalist alloy peg setup.
- Fishing swims with extremely hard, rocky or very soft ground. Eight-inch pegs are useful general-purpose anchors, but tricky ground may need longer or specialist pegs.
The lowdown
Introducing the NGT Bivvy Peg Set with Mallet and Roll Up Case
A proper little shelter-upgrade bundle: 10 chunky steel pegs, a 16oz mallet and a tidy roll-up case. Simple gear, but dead handy when the ground’s being awkward.
- Includes 10 heavy-duty steel bivvy pegs.

Quick verdict
Verdict
A cracking starter or spare peg kit for bivvies, brollies, tents and other shelters. The eight-inch steel pegs should give you a much more dependable hold than lightweight general-purpose tent pegs, while the pointed tips and large heads make them practical on the bank.
The case is the real bonus. Everything stays together, and the mallet means you’re not hunting around for a brick or borrowing one from your mate. Just remember, no peg magically beats rock-hard clay, roots or concrete-like gravel. Pick your placement sensibly and this is a bob-on bit of shelter kit.

Heavy-duty steel pegs, a 16oz mallet and a 600D case make this feel like a properly thought-through kit.
Pointed eight-inch pegs should handle everyday shelter anchoring well in suitable ground.
It won’t improve a rig, but a secure shelter helps you stay comfortable, organised and ready when a bite-time run arrives.
The large heads, included mallet and roll-up storage case keep setup and pack-down straightforward.
Bundling 10 pegs, a mallet and organised storage gives you a lot of useful shelter hardware in one purchase.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the NGT Bivvy Peg Set with Mallet and Roll Up Case
Shelter pegs aren’t exactly the sexiest bit of carp tackle, are they? Nobody gets the kettle on and starts chatting excitedly about pegs. But when the wind gets up at 2am, or your bivvy’s sitting on baked-hard clay, decent anchors suddenly matter a fair bit. That’s where this NGT set comes in.
You get 10 heavy-duty steel pegs, each measuring 8 inches, plus a 16oz mallet and a deluxe 600D roll-up case. In other words, it’s a complete little shelter kit rather than a handful of loose pegs rattling around in the bottom of your carryall. Dead handy when you’re trying to get set up before bite-time.
The pegs themselves are straightforward. Heavy-duty steel construction gives them a reassuringly solid feel, while the pointed tips are designed to help them penetrate suitable ground. That doesn’t mean they’ll sail through a carpet of roots or a swim that’s harder than a snooker table, mind. You still need to choose your angle and placement properly.
The large heads are another sensible touch. They give the mallet a clear target when you’re knocking the pegs home, which is much better than trying to smack a tiny loop or fiddly tab. They should also be easier to grip when the rods are off and you’re keen to pack down without a load of faff.
Ten pegs is a useful number for most general shelter jobs. You can cover the main pegging points on a bivvy or brolly, with a few left for extra guy lines, awkward corners or the inevitable moment when one disappears into the undergrowth. It’s not excessive, but it’s enough to feel like a proper set rather than a token handful.
The included 16oz mallet makes the bundle more useful straight away. You won’t need to raid the shed, use a bankstick in a panic or go looking for a decent-sized lump of wood. A mallet also lets you apply controlled taps, which is kinder to the peg heads and less likely to turn a simple setup into a proper racket.
Storage is where the case earns its keep. The deluxe 600D roll-up case gives the pegs and mallet a home, so they’re less likely to vanish under a bedchair or end up scattered across the boot. Roll it up, chuck it with the shelter, and the whole lot is ready for the next session. Simple, but spot on.
There are a couple of trade-offs. Steel is tougher and more substantial than lightweight alternatives, but it isn’t going to be the lightest option in your loadout. Eight inches is also a sensible all-round length rather than a magic answer for every swim. In loose ground, you may want longer anchors or extra guying.
For regular carp and coarse anglers, though, this is a practical bit of kit. It suits the angler who wants fewer loose bits, a mallet that’s actually there when needed and pegs with enough substance for everyday bivvy, brolly and tent duties. Keep the case organised, drive the pegs in at a sensible angle and you’ll avoid a lot of silly shelter faff.

Our take
The angle
This is less about fancy design and more about sorting a common fishery faff: keeping your shelter pegged down and your pegs in one place. Ten heavy-duty steel pegs give you enough to secure the main points of a typical bivvy or brolly, with a couple of spares for awkward ground or a lost peg.
The 16oz mallet is a useful inclusion rather than a throwaway extra. The large peg heads give you a clear target when driving them in, and they’re easier to grab when it’s time to pack down. Add the 600D roll-up case and the whole lot becomes a tidy grab-and-go bundle.
The kit
A tidy shelter setup in one roll-up case
The bundle includes 10 eight-inch heavy-duty steel pegs, a 16oz mallet and a deluxe 600D roll-up case. The pegs have pointed tips for getting into suitable ground and large heads for both striking and removal. It’s a simple design, but that’s exactly what you want from something that lives in the shelter bag.
Use the pegs around the main bivvy or brolly points, then add the spares to guy lines or any corner that needs extra security. The case keeps everything together, which is a big improvement on loose metalwork rattling around with your reels and alarms.
Worth knowing. Steel pegs are dependable general-purpose anchors, not a shortcut through impossible ground. If the swim is rock-hard, rooty or very soft, adjust the peg position, use the guy lines properly and consider carrying specialist or longer anchors for those conditions.
On the bank
A good fit for everyday shelter duties
This set makes sense for carp anglers building their first proper shelter kit, or anyone fed up with bent, lost or flimsy pegs. It also works well as a spare set kept in the van, especially when a mate turns up short or you’re taking a second shelter for a guest.
The mallet is particularly useful for anglers who don’t want to improvise with a bankstick or a brick. Just tap the pegs in rather than going full demolition crew, and leave enough of the head accessible for easy removal later.
It’s less appealing if every gram matters. Lightweight backpack-style anglers may prefer alloy pegs and a smaller tool, while anglers regularly fishing extreme ground may want longer, more specialised anchors. For normal fishery swims, though, the NGT approach is nicely fuss-free.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know before buying
How many shelters can it secure? That depends on the shelter and how many guy points you use, but 10 pegs is a useful starting point for a typical bivvy or brolly. You’ve got enough for the key points, with a few spares for extra lines.
Will the pegs work in every swim? No peg will. The pointed steel design is aimed at normal ground penetration, but hard clay, stone, roots and very soft soil all need a bit of judgement. Good placement still matters more than brute force.
Is the case worth having? Definitely. It keeps the mallet and pegs together, makes them easier to find at the start of a session and stops loose steel bits getting mixed in with your other tackle. Less faff is always a result.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Ten solid steel pegs cover the main tie-down points on many shelters.
- Pointed tips and large heads make driving and removal more straightforward.
- The 16oz mallet saves you from using a bankstick, brick or random lump of wood.
- 600D roll-up case keeps the kit tidy and easy to grab.
Worth knowing
- Steel adds useful strength but also means more weight than lightweight alloy or plastic pegs.
- Eight inches won’t be the answer for every stormy swim or very soft ground.
- The set is practical rather than premium; don’t expect specialist extreme-weather anchoring gear.
