Having just bought back my kit I am looking at a throwing stick my last 3 was the cobra std 22mm and queen in orange and the solar sharp shooter.
If anyone has these in the shed I'd be happy to purchase I quite like the shrrrrrrriiiiinnnng sound
Any recommendations: I could never use the Korda plastic stick as each bait would hit me in the feet.

TackleBox CFX Swift stick, or the Prologic Carbolite. Got both in separate rod holdalls. They're basically the same as each other. Both so easy to use and carbon is such a game changer.
Edited as remembered the name of the Prologic one lol.

A while ago there was a thread on this, well worth a search. The Harrison stick was well liked but there was another carbon stick that was very highly recommended and it wasn't a big brand, for the life of me I can't remember it, even though I watched it on Ebay for months...grrr.

TackleBox CFX Swift stick
or
the Daiwa Infinity Evo Throwing Stick.
Got both, very light weight and a pleasure to use.

Did a quick forum search and found Bombus and Orient (more expensive) but I think the post I recollect is pre forum reboot, and the stick was great value for money (comparatively).
Ebay is showing one contender in the Corus throwing stick. Hopefully someone will either confirm it's this one or remember the right one.

Corus one looks the same as the CFX Swift stick and has the same matt finish. The Prologic Carbolite is the same, but in a shiny varnished finish. They all seem to be around the £40 mark. I'd never go back to a plastic or metal stick now.

Hmm, I don't think so unless they sold on Ebay, can't see them doing that.
I've not seen the cfx or prologic, I'll have a nosey.

I can't remember what sizes, but I've definitely got two of the orange Cobra's in the garage.

Hey mate,
You are right - I bought the Harrison one on ebay, and it is a thing of beauty and extremely accurate for range.
I wanted a stick for bigger baits, and was recommended Chukka, which is equally as brilliant I have to say, and Chris's customer support was superb, buy with confidence from Chris:

Any recommendations
Tbh I don't think it's as simple as "what's the best throwing stick" anymore. Similar to rods, some are better for accuracy, some better for long range, short range etc etc.
If you just want a stick for all-round work, there are loads of cheapo carbon ones available. Even the plastic jobbies do a job. I can confirm the Harrison stick is the nuts (for accuracy), but I don't consider it great for range.
You need a long, curved, light stick for range. The old Frank Warwick/ACA stick was the best but they're like hens teeth now. Closest thing I've found is the Orient Bombus in 23 mm diameter, 1100 mm length. A real beast, although I wouldn't go near it for shorter range stuff.
There's a few available now that I've not tried... problem is they all advertise dia., but very few advertise length!

I know ill probably get slated for this but i have both sizes of carbon stick from Angling Direct and they are perfect. Light & accurate. The smaller one is under £20 at present.
I also have the NGT stick which is very similar & would happily buy them all again.
Ive used my mates Ridgemonkey one & found it far too heavy.

Agree, the RM is pants... how they managed to get a carbon stick weighing more than plastic I have no idea.
Most of the cheap carbon jobbies (NGT, JRC etc) are all the same 22 mm stick from China with a different badge/grip on, although I see the AD jobbie is available in 25 and 30 mm. All much of a muchness... they do a job.

You wont go wrong with the Gardner Pro Carbon - light as a feather and brilliant bits of kit. Not cheap at around 80 quid.
