I've found the harder the hook stop the less it moves. especially when using bigger stops. If these stops are pretty hard and as above, longer then there is a good chance they'll be pretty solid on a big cast

These were my thoughts exactly. I've tried loads, Bank, ESP, Korda, Avid...and although all fine at shorter range (<120) they all slip with a heavy lead on a big chuck. I use the thinking angers now and they are better, but a stop that you were confident would never budge would be something I would buy.

I see they've bought out Rat Bag. Obvs not their design but a quality product. Good business move imo.

Do you mean the metal mesh air dry bags?
Someone brought those out before, the Achilles heal was that rats got in 😂

Yes. Rat bag did it first then carp couture ripped it off. My original rat bags are still going strong 8 years on. Brilliant product imo.
Edit: 9 years now!

Since Rat Bag made the announcement this morning they've completely sold out of all stock after "overwhelming sales". I guess that shows us the marketing power of Ali and the mindset of your average angler. Absolutely ridiculous!

I mean ripping it off is a bit much, there is currently the same set of hooks from VMC doing the rounds for about six big tackle firms haha. But I get your meaning credit should go where due. They did innovate it, a friend had one and they still got in though, only way to protect from rats is to mask the smell / don't spill etc.
Years of training in a bait unit with as it stands, no rat history lol

Surely if omc wanted to "get people talking" they'd actually bring out something of their own rather than just rebranding other companies kit like they are at the moment ?
