Has anyone got one yet and opinions, please

Literally nobody has them so either it has a fault so they are not selling them
Covid has prevented them from turning up from China
Or they are selling out instantly

I've got a bait boat I'm selling and fancy getting one of these to replace ... All my waters are no bait boats so might as well sell it and replace with one of these with extra 15m kit so 30m placement

Only know one person who has had one and he sold it after the first use....it is about as stable as apiece of cooked spaghetti at anything over 10m, and if used in anything but i mild cross wind almost impossible to control...

Saw one used a few days ago. Looked ok, pole being clipped together was quite noisy and annoying. Didnt look very stable but i guess thats why the spoon has two floats on it. I use the coras pole and the nash one was definitely quicker to get out due to the clips.

Anyone that's held a 16mtr pole in a wind will tell you how hard it is. Would not even contemplate one at 30mts. Even though your not holding the weight as such. Strong cross winds you will have to push it out across the next peg and let the wind swing it into place imo.

I have one, much easier to use than the normal ‘pole' style baiting pole, it's handy that you can put any section in next as they are all the same, I'm not going to deny they are wobbly at length, but so are normal ones, I had the corus 18m before the bushwhacker, and I much prefer the bushwhacker, the amount of times I accidentally tipped the corus one whilst shipping out, and then messing about with the correct section was a pain.

Used mine for the first time this evening. At 24 meters it was easy enough and despite a slight breeze got my baits exactly where wanted them .

I have been using one for a few months, I haven't bought any extra extensions yet so don't know how it handles at longer distances. It is a bit tricky in strong winds but not impossible helps that the scoop/pot is stable so doesn't flip over. Only thing I don't like is the pole that goes onto the scoop/pot is different, so you need to work out which one it is.

I haven't noticed the one that goes in the spoon is any different? But then I always leave it attached

i've got one, i've only used it a handful of times but it does what it's supposed too and i've had no trouble with it, it is quite bendy when fully put together and can be difficult to control in a big wind but overall i'd give it a thumbs up

I have one and brought a extra 8 poles so i can reach to 27 meters at present i got mine from tackle box in dart ford i can honestly say its the nuts i have had a few in my time but this is better then any before. The reason there not in stock is because as soon as they come over there are people on a waiting list to snap them up I'm on a list number 22 just for more extensions .

Like anything else at the moment it's a sellers market. If you don't want to pay the asking price . It's quite simple ..... don't 🤷‍♂️

Just wondering if anyone has tried filling the sections with expanding foam? Might improve stability.

Not to bash nash, i like most of his stuff, but, come on now, for about the same amount you have a little bait boat so you don't have to mess around with huge poles

Ahh, bait boat bans, so now people are fooling around with 30 meter poles, yet another rule that didn't work out as expected:P

But, point taken, didn't think of that since fisheries with all sorts of rules are not really a thing for me.
