Just seen a carpology video on this what's people's thoughts on £399 to measure your lines out.I think it's getting absolutely crazy now but just my opinion

Haven't seen it but as far as I'm aware it's nothing new, counters for sea fishing have been around for ages...surely the wheel hasn't been re invented again...or has it

Next there will be a box for keeping your swivels in single compartments to stop the them bashing against each other and causing the dark covering to come off or cause nasty nicks that may cut the hook length or mainline.

or a box to keep helicopter beads separate as a dented bead may not be aero dynamic enough to get the distance you require.

i'm not patenting these so come on the big companies step up and claim they are the next big thing that everyone needs

It needs its own barrow, wew, but that's not included for only 399.

I do really like carpology, doing a really fine job imo, but maybe they should have passed on this one. But nevertheless, lolololololumg

But you can measure 100 metres of line in less than 1 minute so more time fishing, win win all round.

On second thoughts NO.

One thing I found odd, it tells you how many meters and yards but not wraps...🤔

Why would it? If using it than you wouldn't be wrapping up anyway...last time I checked metres and yards were common measuring units, wraps weren't...

It gets better......for an extra £99.99 you can buy "Spot-on Comfort" which means if you change your mind on the product in e first 12 months they will give you a full refund....apart from the £99.99 it cost to but spot-on comfort!

I also recall these only come with a 6 month guarantee as standard!

There should be a list on web of people using this and where so people would know what places to avoid... this thing is so idiotic that I dont want to see it in person ever.

Just seen this.... Oh dear. Sums up everything that is wrong really. I expect they will be installed in all Hales Fisheries and the likes of Holme Fen with immediate effect.
