Just read that cygnet tackle is to be discontinued..Kent tackle got a sale on what tock they've got left albeit not much of a discount but worth looking out for other retailers clearing their stock

Think Trakker have taken them over and released their range under the Trakker name.

Weird if you ask me... rebadge everything Trakker -must have cost a fair bit just to do that. They are associated with bivvies and luggage. They did end tackle before and it bombed, same with rods etc.

Can't imagine there are many people walking in the tackle shop with 125 quid looking to buy a carp rod who are coming out with one that's got trakker written on it, too many established names.

Exactly -end kit your going against Korda & Fox.
Rods- Daiwa, Harrison,Century etc...
Very hard to establish yourselves when your associated with certain types of kit already.

Trakker bought the Cygnet brand of Mick Nolan ten plus years ago I would of thought now. Which at the time were a company selling basically Bank sticks and buzzers. Overtime they morphed into a sort of entry level brand to go with trakkers my high end range selling luggage, shelters and end tackle. I would of thought mearging the two is probably a cost saving exercise is the long run. 
Apparently Cypher are refreshing the Aqua range shortly as their "premium" brand and Trakker will be their bread and butter mid range label having incorporated Cygnet, (which lets face is was always budget).
Makes you wonder whist Korda were growing and using everything Trakker whether there was a gentlemans agreement not to piss on each others chips......but now Korda have expanded their range massively and are now direct competition for Cypher, (Korda even rumoured to be entering the bivvy market soon) the gloves are off..

Korda are doing a bivvy and a brolly apparently
I'm not sure how true it is but they are using Aqua's material and JAG for the metal work 🤔
