Just looking at a specific FB group re
A brand and it occurred to that I've just bought
A Korum rucksack new for half the price
Of this brand and it looked similar only mine carries
A bloody chair.
Got me thinking.
Barrow bag. Gardner
Front bag. Prestige
Rod bag. Chub Triple 5
Pod. Defiant or Nash
Hangers Matrix
Alarms Atts
Beds Nash, Prplogic Jrc
Bivvies. Aqua, Fox, Trakker, Prologic
Scales Reubens
Tackle box Fox
Rods and mats are also dependent on who does the best
Kit for what I need.
Is it just luggage they are mad for? I find that
The dullest part of kit.

I love buying stuff from different brands and mix and matching. For luggage I mainly buy stuff that has been discounted due to end of line. Makes Nash seem value for money if you are buying at half RRP.
Most of my kit is all different makes, I just buy what I like, and what I think will do a good job.
Taking it one stage further, I am buying rods in pairs rather than sets, forcing me to use mismatched rods on the occasions when I fish three rods. If people I meet on the bank think I am a Noddy then so much the better!

Same as that mate, the only concession I made was after too much shoe-horning faff I bought 3 of the storage bags to go with my Explorer Deluxe underbag. It does make sense.
Other than that it's whatever works best and looks like it might last, or whatever's nearest to what I wanted that I can modify.
Even my indicators are MCF Rattlers with Jag Safeliner heads

It messes with my OCD but try as I might I cannot buy matching luggage that ticks every box so i have a mixture of Trakker and Aqua.
Rod wise my preference is Harrison and reels are Daiwa, not out of loyalty though, because they are better IMO but i have owned and would use other brands.
I was always a Delkim man with alarms but have recently switched to Fox and have no regrets.

Same.Price,quality.If its worked before for me i stay with it.If I found something better jump.

I've got a bit of everything, Nash, Trakker, Korum, ESP, Avid, Korda, Shimano, Ridge Monkey. It's a right old bundle when I set up lol. And that's just my luggage, all my gear is mix and match, my swingers are short arm Cygnet with Defiant bobbin and a Fox clip. Can't get why or how anyone can cover everything they want in one brand. I'm still looking for the perfect Ruckbag, so far my Avid one is the closest.

Used Aqua exclusively luggage for years but got rid when i felt the quality dropped a few years ago and switched to CA. Always stuck with daiwa for my reels apart from the odd shimmy once or twice and Harrison for my rods. End tackle i tend to shop around a bit as i find some suppliers are better at some things than others. I tend not to Stray to far from Nash for hooks ESP and thinking anglers.

I've got the avid version of the standard one, great session carryall on the barrow but too big and uncomfortable for day sessions. The chair I use fits in one of the side pockets though
My luggage is a mixture of angling intelligence, esp, korum avid and prestige.. I don't think I could have full matching luggage, I don't think any one brand would do all the items I want

I have a total mix of all sorts.
I've seen posts on facebook people 'switching to fox camo' or 'aqua black label' for luggage and changing the whole lot in one go.
The brands must be pissing themselves.
Spend the money on bait and memberships - itll make you much happier than rocking up at linear with your matching set up.
To coin a football phrase - FULL KIT W*NKERS
