Who me? Never

Joking aside why would I buy a container just because a fishing company decides to 'invent' them
My mate has one and it leaked in the van we travelled in because it was left on it's side

I’ve got one of those sitting outside in the elements for the last year!



I saw one go on Fleabay for £30 odd but just thought it was a one off idiot.

I’ve also got two Solar stainless baiting needles and one rig tube thingy.

Do the original Gardner crimpers command the same prices as the Korda ones? I’ve got a set. They are identical, out of the same factory but with black handles rather than green. Got some crimps ( not Krimps) as well.

My mate lost one of his Solar carp hangers last year at Flores whilst moving swims. We all spent an hour on our hands and knees looking for it as he had them for years. Didn’t find it. When we got back, I thought it would be a nice gesture to find and buy him a replacement. I saw at set up for £350 and decided I wasn’t his mate any more

Looks like I could pay for a French trip selling this lot!

I’ve seen this- madness!

Second hand ones going for 4 or 5 times the original RRP - madness

It’s mental, Korda Krimp tools are going for £50. I’ve got a set I’ve hardly used, don’t need the money but it’s a free 35 quid for the cost of a trip to the post office and I’ll just buy a new pair when they’re back in stock.

I think they fit the Fox Explorer barrow perfectly, I sold one on here a couple of years ago for pretty much what I had paid for it a few years earlier, if I'd kept it I'd be quids in now

I never even knew I had collectable gear

Had that trakker water bottle for years and still does the jobs its meant to. But you look at the price of second hand gear on facebook and ebay and its stupid money nowadays. But people still buy it.. so why not.

I know a company who do sticker packs - cost 65p per unit and sells them for £5 each posted... they literally cannot get enough of them over the last two years... all to go on water bottles and buckets

I don’t understand eBay, I’ve been seeing loads of second hand stuff sell for more than new.

Saw a trakker scales pouch, 2nd hand sell for £19 + £4.50 postage the same day I brought mine for an eBay shop for £12.99 free postage.

Seen it quite a few times but can get my head around it

I think it’s frowned upon to call them that now, it’s ‘significant other’ or baby momma
