UPDATE
Morning Gerry

Yes! Finally it's with great pleasure I can say the brollies are in and on their way to retailers as we speak.

Kind regards,

I don't get this brolly. If the weather's crap, surely you're going to have to be laid on your bed?!

A compact bed is no lower though, what's your point?

Are you a midget?

sounds like you have never owned a compact bed

otherwise you would know they are a lot lower with much shorter legs but as you know no one has got the brolly yet but the specs say the HEIGHT is 1200mm or 1.2m or 47.24409 inches I will let you know when it comes and even take some pictures

thats only slightly less than your 1250mm V2 Brolly you sold

That is very true Gerry but that's also the reason I sold it as my head was touching the roof whilst sat on my bedchair.

The photos on the review make it look like the inner spokes that connect to the central boss would also be in the way.

I haven't owned a conpact bed, no.

Tim I am buying this because I now fish 90% of the time down the river I went Barbel fishing a week ago I fished from around 1630 until 03.00 catching 15 Barbel and a chub losing 4 barbel and 4 times I had a double hook up

I was totally exhausted despite the fish still feeding I just had to reel the rods in and sleep
I normally sit on my rods on a chair............... and with a small brolly if it rains recasting every 20 to 40 mins

hopefully the Wychwood Tactical brolly will give me shelter I need for a good nights sleep and stand up to the very fierce winds you get up on the Mighty Trent
I find the river fishing so very different to carp fishing where you can spend hours in the bivvy try that and you could lose a rod from a passing boat or a big barbel

Well done on the barbel Gerry.

I also fish the Trent, almost exclusively these days as I live around an hour away from the Newark area.

Maybe I fish it different to you, I often set up my rods at the top of the bank right next to my bivvy. This means the rods are higher so more line out of the water & they're right next to me at all times.

As for losing a rod to a big barbel, I honestly don't know how this happens if the pod is set up right & pegged down?!
