Nash Distance throwing stick. Shattered with the very first boilie I put through it. Thought it felt a bit flimsy.
the one and only time I got caught out on here by believing the hype was to buy
the stainless steel boilie chopper from the Boilie chopper man at the carp shows.
it will last ok, as I will never use it. any more than 4 boilies and it sticks and you have to pull them all out by hand.
easy to use a knife and a chopping board.
2nd . nash Dwarf rods. i knew about the tip snapping issue. but as i was buying mine way later down the line I figured it was dealt with I was wrong. I now have two lovely 8 and 3/4 foot rods in 2.75+ TC LOL

RM toilet seat
A super model would struggle to sh*t on it the size of the seat .... Never used it once
Just gone back to a builders bucket with a bit of pipe lagging round the lip and bin liner

Wychwood Solace bite alarms. Absolute tosh. Sent them back 3 times as batteries kept dying and I was told it was an issue with the batteries and not the alarm (despite having tried numerous brands of battery before returning them?) Worst thing was I was deciding between them and the fox alarms and decided to save money and went for the Wychwood, ended up costing me as ended up with the Fox alarms that I have been using ever since and would have saved myself effort and money had I not been tight to start with, valuable lessons learned for me there

That must be 30 years old, unless they carried on making them for any length of time after I bought mine.

Fox stratos reels!
20 packets of fox hooks turned out to be pretty bad when I realised I could turn the points just by looking at them.
Chub stainless bars and stage stands were also useless out of the box, more unwanted twisting than a visit to a chiropractor
My 1st centrepin and 1st Harrison rod were pretty bad purchases considering the expensive collections that followed

them bloody fox reels.
I ended up in a standoff with one of the bizarrely arrogant little tossers at Danson Angling years ago. when he said I was a mug for buying Shimano reels for my son as you get much more value for money with Fox. I'm actually parting with my money and he's still beefing about it. the reels I bought cost the same or more to buy now.

Danson Angling
I've heard their mail order is ok but going into the shop is another matter , you and me aren't the only ones, I've read numerous reports on here how rude and arrogant they are
Probably had the hump with Shimano after upsetting them as well.

I didn't go back in for years. It wasn't jus that I also wanted 60lb
Reubens in 1oz divisions. I knew they made one. I had even seen Danson advertised. Same little **** swore blind thsrebwas no such thing. I even showed him a pic on my phone. Eventually I asked someone else to go look. They brought them back. Little **** said nothing. No apology, a laugh, nothing.
I might add. He's long gone, and whilst they ain't Mr Tumble friendly they are a lot better now.

I bought some diawa reels BR2050 or something like that they were called it was about 30 year's ago when the the Shimano areos were a bit too expensive at the time , one of the diawa,s bait runner failed in the shop as it was being shown to me but I still bought 3 of them 😣 line lay was horrendous one after about a year's use one would jump as you wound it in another the bail arm would close on a cast brilliant...I eventually got them returned and bought the shimanos, still in use today on my pike rods

For my 15th birthday I asked for shimano 6000gte-B baitrunners, my dad being a tight northerner waited till we went to the Carpin on show and got a deal on the already dirt cheap nash outlaw bait runners god they were horrendous make the original fox baitrunners look like basia's 😂😂
