I feel the same way about loads of tackle these days. I can't understand someone paying the thick end of a grand for a bivvy and wrap. I wonder what people must do for a living to be able to afford a set of custom basias. But I guess people must be buying stuff for the manufacturers to keep making it. I think I'm just getting old. I guess if I was in my 20s, living at home with my parents, loads of disposable income then what's a few hundred quid on fishing tackle? My sons wouldn't think anything of spending £60 on a computer game that they complete in a week. So I guess it's these people that don't bat an eyelid at £60 on fishing tackle.

I reckon people are thinking about these sticks in the wrong light.
I bought the Avid sticks first of all which were too big and curved so the line spills off them and can get you in a total mess especially at night and or when using flourocarbon.
Then bought the Avid shorter sticks...much better size wise but the same problems still there.
Then bought the Jag/Korda sticks...wow how much better are these, the problem with the line spilling off has now gone away due to the grooves cut into the sticks.
You can see them easily at night due to the isotope acrylic in the tips
If you use them properly...i,e use the supplied T bar and just push the stick into the ground using that and then if you need them deeper in the ground just gently rest the acrylic in the palm of your hand and turn the auger point in with the T bar....imo if you break the acrylic you need to be calming down a couple of notches.
The string with the brass loops and calibrations on it is top notch.
If you were to go out and buy 2 x Jag bank sticks they wouldn't be far short of the price of the distance sticks and these are a specific tool for a specific job.
As you can guess I really rate mine...if you think they are too expensive don't buy them simple as
