Appreciate the numerous comments and even more so the engagement I’ve had direct with many of you here in recent times some who have commented below and I’m hoping to have much more as we grow and try our upmost to understand our audience and encourage new users to the brand and so it’s been great for me to reach out to so many of you here.

If anyone wants a chat direct on any thing related to the brand feel free to drop me a pm and I’ll respond and explain as opposed to clogging up the page or going off track

In regards to the pricing comment I won’t shy away from it

Many people aren’t truly aware of the costs associated with marketing and development and the true costs involved and how we price products some of which just weren’t accurate on the older pieces hence we’ve had to increase them due to a variety of factors but the main one is based on the cost to manufacture - more so than just incremental price rise in line with inflation

We’re determined to keep raising the bar and bringing new products to the fore that anglers and even non anglers want to use in hobbies and past times outside of fishing, we have some unique opportunities that we will be offering to our audience and we are also keen to encourage the next generation of consumer to the brand and so we are extremely excited for some of the upcoming products we have in the pipeline that cater for everyone that we will be launching soon.

We are also trying our best to raise the game with our marketing collateral and the content that’s available and the you tube comments I totally agree with as it’s a much more thorough platform to really show case our products more so than the website does currently and I myself hope to be working of some of the engagement here above sent a few of you my own very poor videos showing how I use my kit in the real world which seems to have gone down well so more to come


We do accept that we are a premium brand in a crowded market but stay true to our standards and are constantly evolving to be the best we can be backed up by best in class customer support.

Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback across the multiple posts up to this point it’s genuinely appreciated and I’ve loved engaging with the forum community

Hi Rob. I spoke to Jamie last week about some custom rod sleeves for 3 piece 9 footers to compliment the custom CA bushwhacker bag with a built in quiver I had made last year, and he mentioned that custom items are currently on hold due to new product development. Is this a service the brand plans to bring back at any point?

Jamie is right in that it isn’t something we will be looking to offer for the foreseeable - never say never but we have a big job on with lots of new products in the pipeline that for now is all encompassing so it’s something we’ve had to put on the back burner.

We totally appreciate that it’s a service a lot of our customers enjoyed and will be disappointed to hear but we really are at capacity for now.

Afternoon all,

I’m curious as to how many here follow the brand on social media?

We have an exciting new product launching soon and have others in the pipeline but I’m keen to hear if people here follow the brand are aware of such launches?

Afraid not Rob but it's more a case of me not 'doing' social media rather than any other reason.

I was forced onto FB by a syndi and now clubs. I did follow Carplounge for a while, and I might be following a couple of others, but I probably go on FB once a month, if that.
I dont allow FB to notify me of anything anymore, it was just too annoying.

Edit, defo not your target audience, maybe like a lot of 50 year old +, yet ironically greater ability to spend, probably!

Yeah I follow most brands on insta

We’re trying to work out how to keep our customers abreast with such launches but the demographic of the CA is probably not engaging on such channels I’d imaging

I don’t do Facebook myself but do follow brands on instagram so I wondered if I was alone

I follow ca jag and prolite explorer, i run the jag selling page on fb and have had some great service from tom and the boys at jag.....only last week I had a rod locker break, one quick whatsapp and they asked for a picture and a new one arrived next day.

ive had nothing but positive experiences with the boys at jag and I would expect CA to be no different...i always champion jag on the selling page down to their excellent customer service and how responsive they are on social media

Subscribe to the YouTube channel.

I’ve had CA stuff for years bought my rod holdhall (trident) in 2008 still going strong 💪

Thanks for the feedback I’ve been away

We’ve been promoting our new 3D Vault - surprised no one on here has commented as yet any thoughts folks?

I like the look of it just waiting on the price of the base model and then the inserts I would like.

I really like the look of it, just waiting for more info....

Just had a look at it, looks a nice bit of kit.

Is it designed around Korda Kit?
