While searching for some clothes to fish in tomorrow. I came across a pair of there zip of trousers. Got me thinking whatever happened to them? They seemed to be quite big in the game at one point. I even had a set of there Outcast rods which were highly rated at the time. Cracking rods for the money..

Pure fishing bought the greys/chub brand, didn't make much sense to have jrc and chub competing so chub fell by the wayside

Thought Chub made some reasonable priced good/decent stuff myself.
I had a set of the first outcasts, thought they were great for the £, now used for winter piking.

The total protection rod hold-all with the waterproof cover is the daddy

Decent affordable stuff.
Decent affordable stuff.
I personally thought that the top 3 tackle companies could have learnt from Chub. Their tackle may have been cheaper but the quality certainly was not cheap especially the shelters and rods. You didn't see many if any complaints on here and I think it goes to show like all products not just fishing, people buy based on brand name which dosn't mean better and the top companies know this.
I still have a buy tackle from Chub, it was a top brand looking at price / quality.
Still want a chub vizor lite, such a shame they left Chub and focus on Jrc

The best bivvys I have owned. Also got their cradle after recommendations on here and that is still going strong however many years down the line. Would like to think the Chub quality would be reflected in the JRC products now but I don't own any of them to know if that is the case

Still got and use the outkast 50s.
Great rods, had loads of stuff from there over the years. No complaints at all.

Ironically I've just come back from a walk around my local club lake where there is a match on and one of the kids had that exact bivvy and I commented on how good it looked. Ideal in this glorious sunshine, was like having a sunroof and looked very sturdy

It was the JRC STI, I had one when they came out years back.
Very well made, the mesh roof was a great idea, good all rounder and never a drop of condensation.

The Chub Vizolite wasn't the amazing bivvy it was cracked up to be.
The Trilite on the other hand... I bloody miss that bivvy!

Still got one of the original Chub Vizor one man bivvys, it's a fantastic bit of kit and still going strong after years of regular use. I still regret not buying the 2 man version when they were being sold off cheap a few years ago.
Also got two Outkast Small Water rods in 2.25 test which are a joy to play fish on.
Shame Chub went, as said they made quality gear at very reasonable prices.

Had the awesome rigger bag and food bag passed them down to nephew and he still using them, also had buzz bars and banksticks from their chunky stainless range they cost a fraction of the price of the top end company's and were as good quality these also used still by nephew and remain in excellent condition despite the many years use. Overall the chub brand really punched above its weight offering genuine quality for money and with some products exceptional value highlighting often the pure greed priced offerings from the more fashionable labels pocket raping from above.

They did some brilliant value products, I wouldn't put the stainless amongst them, no cheaper than decent stuff (jag excluded) and not very well done imo, the stage stands I bought had more twist points than a fidget spinner

I had some of the chunky stainless and it was fantastic for the money. I regret selling it now in all honesty. The stabilisers were brilliant and the setup was so solid.

Most JRC is crap nowadays as well... I saw it all at the pure fishing head office last year and it's shocking generic chinese rubbish.
I still have a JRC stealth roamer x lite bedchair, weighs 7kg and still going strong after 20 years.

Yes, I had one of their oval brollys for many years, my friend has a new one brought last season, been downgraded on cover and ribs, load of crap, doesn't compare to my stealth oval which finally died last winter.
