How ironic that would be

Chinese mass produced ***** takes over from passion and quality

I'm pretty sure that I remember reading that the place in Sheffield was where they checked the quality of the Chinese made stuff? Each and every bivvy was set up and checked for faults using a strong light.
Aqua were still putting the Union Jack on their stuff after manufacturing had moved to China, that's 100%.

I think the name of the company that owns Trakker, Aqua and Cygnet is Cipher Group Ltd that are based in Sheffield. they have recently bought a french company called Frenzee aswell.

Is Trakker equally as good in quality as Aqua these days or are they seen as the next step down in quality in comparison. I think Cygnet are seen as a more affordable option for some people but not sure how true that is as only starting to get back into carp fishing after 12 years away from the hobby.

I don't think that Aqua are considered a special quality brand anymore by most people. Basically on par with Trakker, just at inflated prices.
Are you sure?
