Poor Designed Equipment that I've seen:-

- Ridge Monkey Carbon throwing stick first time around - made a racket and the grip was awful and gave blisters if you for a prolonged period of time.

- Fox impact spod - when they first came out the pin holding the arms failed and snapped the door mechanism off.

Avid marker float-broke into two pieces on cast.
Avid solid bag stems-broke on the loop
Avid chair-ripped where wrapped around the frame
Avoid Avid now as they didn't care about any of them.
Agree about the Fox spomb utter junk

I do think that they are probably the worst company out there. They charge a premium for their utterly rubbish products.

The bedchairs where the legs all snapped and the bivvies that didn't have enough material to actually put them up were decent as well

I've recently bought their lightweight bedchair, I hope you're wrong.

NGT (Not Good Tackle) little boilie grinder. I was given one to try out. It took about 15 seconds to destroy it in normal use. The shop never ordered any of them in.

Received an email from the Tackle Tavern about this today:

https://thetackletavern.co.uk/product/omc-the-noble-wind-shelter/

Aside from how it got it's name I'm struggling to think of any situation where you'd actually use it?

Surely one of the many day shelters produced by other companys would be a better bet?

It looks awful and a lot of messing about. £180?

Just get a 60inc brolly. One movement it's up then peg it out.
What more do you need for a day..

Ali really is bringing out some mickey mouse horse 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩

Rates along side NGT and if you're old enough Winfield.

Nice guy but he really is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Looks like he thinks his name will sell anything.

Looks like something the gas man used to set up when doing his maintenance.
Are you sure?
