Brolly System Advice for a Newbie (27 posts / 2,110 views)

Hi, I am new to the forum and just starting to get back into fishing after not doing it for over 10 years. I am in the market for a new brolly system but keep going round in circles so thought I'd ask you guys based on your own experiences if you have any. I'm a fair weather angler so will only be doing nights in the spring/summer which will be mainly 24hr sessions and no longer than 48hr.

I have whittled my search down to the following:
Nash Titan hide pro
Cyprinus K2 60 brolly system
Solar undercover brolly system

I'm set on having vents to allow air movement and want something which will withstand the odd summer downpour. Has anyone used or owned any of the above, if so can you share your experiences. I have heard the Titan hide is too small for most bed chairs meaning it touches the edges and gets wet, if true is this the case with the hide pro?

Thanks for reading

Mark

I have the titan hide xl and can recommend it 100%, it's been my best buy for a very long time. Nice big vents, good height, easy to put up, roomy, no leaks (yet) and reasonable price.

Not on your list, but can highly recommend the trakker tempest brolly v2, or if you want the vents then there's the tempest brolly 100T or tempest brolly 100

I can't fault mine

I looked at the tempest but decided the 100T is a little too big for me. I didn't realise they do a 100 apart from the advanced 100 but I don't really want to spend more than £350.

No issues with your bed chair touching the sides with the XL?

The Titan Hide XL won't be an issue with bedchairs

In the summer? Then he's a wimp

I would pay the extra few quid for the tempest. I was tempted by the hideout at the JR price, but I wouldn't ever have the front down and it doesn't detach. Don't want to be carrying the extra bulk around the whole time only to roll it up.

No matter how 'space saver' a standard internal brolly mech is you will always bash your head at some point, things have moved on. I had the Lo-Pro before it got nicked and it was ok. Replaced with the Tempest Brolly and its much better.

Better to be looking at it than looking for it

Thanks for the input guys. Basically to summarise, what I had listed are all fair options apart from price difference. I'll do a bit of research into the tempest but to get the 100 it seems to of sold out at most places.
