I think that was the "Spot On Fish". £399 I recall. Has to be my favourite of all time

For me it's either the Alacarp top bivvy mat or the New direction cradle that also weighs the fish

Why am I thinking a special camou pole roller with stubby legs is already on the drawing board somewhere

This just points out how people love to moan, you are not forced into purchasing any of the items 😂

It's good that the sport is full of people who are willing to invent and innovate in my opinion.

I totally agree it is good that there is people out there coming up with fantastic ideas. But the point I'm making is they ain't always going to invent something that is really good , ie the heli clip . So what there doing is bringing out **** that no one really needs. I just think they seem to think we are gullible enough to buy it .

How true.
When we walk into our fishing tackle shops for a essential £5 packet of hooks, YOU KNOW that you will spend £50, the other £45 on non essential tat.

A man and his money is easily parted in a fishing tackle shop

I have a problem with hooks. I cannot leave a tackle shop with out trying out a new pattern or slightly different size. I must have £££'s of packets of 8 or 9 hooks that I will keep just in case.

I had a similar thing when every company started releasing a coated braid. £11 a pop but I had to see if I'd finally found the perfect suppleness, stiffness, stripabilty, colour, diameter, strength. Thankfully I've settled on the Nash stuff for a few years now.

The best one yet when omc give you a half sneaky peek at there new hooks , big Ming them up like it's going to change the world. And when you actually see them they are no different to any other pattern of hook . Erm we do know that they are made by the same manufacturer in China.

Why not got to be worth a try . I just like the way they try and big it up. Obviously they will but the way they do , come on it's like waiting for the mask singer to take it off 😂😂😂😂
