🤪 No, I've spoken and used well over 10 Tackle shops in my time.

Simpson's
Specialist
Tackle box
Leslies
Fosters
Yately
Premier
South Woodford
Loughton
Keswells
Bristol
Hull
Angling direct
Eric's
Stafford
Glasgow
Rod and Gun
Kent
Canterbury
Johnson Ross

And quite a few more I like chatting with people and appreciate their views and when certain trends appear with several people telling you the same thing it's usually note worthy in my opinion, I appreciate my experiences are still biased and so I can only offer my opinion and thoughts on any matter.

Now I may have found during my time that a particular rig method kit works well and others don't it doesn't mean everyone else is wrong I'm just sharing my observations and what I know about such stuff, it doesn't make me wrong if others have had different experiences it only makes these things questionable.

I remember some **** at a local shop trying to sell.me the early fox reels instead of the Shimanos I had ordered. Telling me I was getting much more for the same money. Yeh right.

Am sure I've seen Mark Barlett using them a while back on one of his videos and sure Tom Marker was using the at the start of his latest video ( but may need to recheck) but switch to the older ones

With the current supply problems everyone is having, there would be no point promoting a product you couldn't supply with certainty. If they haven't tested samples then they may get a lot of returns. I wish companies felt they could take the time to release a proven product to the market, rather than having to bring out new items every year. There are very few innovators but many copyists out there. Maybe it just takes too long to patent and copyright. Innovation to make it worthwhile.
Are you sure?
