Every now and then I look at the Johnson Ross new product tab, today takes the biscuit. Buzzbox coffee bags, (camo packaging of course) 10 coffee bags £6.50 from an unknown brand inclusive of carp tax.

Taylors of Harrogate in Asda (respected brand, sadly no camo) £2.75 for 10.

I like JR bought a lot off them but come on, show some self respect have a bit of decency, just another greedy ******* fleecing the punter? I know its peronal choice bla bla.

There really must be one born every minute.

I wouldn't worry about JR, they are there to make a living, It's more laughable thinking about the people that buy them, but each to their own of course

Pastime has changed dramatically, no longer about the fish for a lot of people, that's just a byproduct of being sat there, it's all about having the right gear and image and people will pay ridiculous amounts to “be there”

Looking at the new products tab I'm more concerned that Daiwa have released a rod that the RRP is over £800, how muuuuuuch?!

Wolfe carp fishing coffee, what a joke. Just trying to mug the anglers off with stuff they don't need. Taylor of Harrogate less than half this cost

Only takes a quick look at the threads on here to see where' fishing' is for many people. The main concern seems to be whether or not a phone or laptop can be charged 10 times.

Next up is buying a barrow that walks ten ton of camping equipment to a lake on it's own.

Then, which is the best toy boat? Why take the time and pleasure to learn to how to do it all properly? That would waste valuable screen time.

I can't comprehend a time when I might use a whole battery charge on my phone or want to look at a laptop while fishing. The point for me is to get away from all that rubbish.

But, each to their own I guess. They are lining plenty of pockets.

People moan all the lakes are packed, then most of the people taking up the swims spend the whole time looking at a screen.

Similar to me. Makes we wonder what some people get out of it other than debt too, but each to their own, there's a marketplace, they test it and get away with it sadly, but that's peoples choices, not mine

Anybody for camo coffee
