The Tackle Shop Gainsborough did some good stuff , the Redmire low chair and a specialist rucksack . Pretty sure I bought my SS5 and SS6 rod blanks from Trevor too.

Not to mention the Gardner spods, still have a few in my shed. The one with the brass weight ring around it was brilliant for plugging into silt

Did anyone have one or can remember it's got to be around 25 years ago Gardner tackle brought out the weighted sprung loaded boilie rocket that you actually cast out as the weight/ledger it held about five or six boilies that you forced down inside against the spring loaded cap then there were two molded pegs that pushed inside the fins that you wrapped PVA tape around and pushed home to lock it off, the front end of the rubber rocket had a molded lead weight inside with a swivel that exited the front, Idea being cast it out PVA melts and it fired half a dozen boilies somewhere around your hookbait.
Right pain in the arse if you left a bit of water in the voids where the pins pushed in (which was a nightmare to try and dry them out) on the cast the water would travel along the pins melt the PVA and as you cast it would fire them out the arse end mid flight quite often see half a dozen boilies being ejected somewhere between me and my spot.

Yep
The normal ones were renowned for tail walking all over on the cast, or mine did, crap at the time but state of the art lol
The one thing I will give Korda total credit for (2 actually, the original wide gapes) when they brought out the skyliner it took spodding to totally different level, accuracy and distance every time.10/10
Up until this, nothing came close

Still have a set of 2.5tc Tricast ER's! Second set as the first were stolen off the roof of the car in 2006. Gutted as I served my carping apprenticeship with those.
The originals were from Penge Angling, Vic Gibson built along with many other Tricasts, Conoflex, North Westerns etc in the early 80's.

If you go on facebook > Old Skool Carp Society you can see lots of wonderful old pics even quite a few forum members posted brings back memories well worth checking out
Going to look at a pair of diawa powermesh eurospecialist and a pair of diawa regal x 4050 reels I swapped for an air rifle 15 years ago next week.
They were minters when I handed them over as I hadn't used the rods and the guy who I gave them to says he hasn't used them.
Fingers crossed.
