My ESP lo pro arrived this morning - well worth the searching and the guys at Homeleigh were really great. Threw in a free groundsheet too. Thanks for the pointer mate.

Did your JRC cocoon shelter ever turn up fivenil? I also saw that on amazon and was about to buy when I saw it was from fishdeal.co.uk who have just refunded me for the same shelter that I placed direct order with them for. Missing in post apparently.

I truly believe a 55" brolly is all you need for a day session ? or possibly a popup shelter

maybe anything else is over kill ?

How about them brollies with the wing bits ?
I always found a brolly a pain in the rain
Usually mounding my gear in the centre and getting wet myself

for a day get brutal ?

for instance end tackle should easily fit in a small tupper ware box leave any spares in the car in the unlikely event you need them etc as we all take WAY too much gear for a days fishing

Yep. chucked it in shed and forgot all about it. Will dig it out soon and put it up in garden. It is pretty light is all i can say at the moment.

. . . just bought a 45" NGT Green brolly for £19.99 with an additional 10% off the 20% card discount . . .1.7kg apparently but hasn't arrived yet (Go Outdoors . . standard) so will report back when it does . . .

. . .NGT brolly arrived

Its def light - more like 1.5kg which is nothing . . material is rizla thin but a decent shade of dark green. Centre pole angle bracket is the weakest point - its engineered badly and to be honest I'll be using with the pole in its fully rigid position only. Size at 45" is fine for days with enough room to sit on a small chair and stash day-kit / luggage undercover no probs . . .for under £20 is perfect for rivers / shorts days / emergency downpour use
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
