Id like some luggage that wasnt drab green, maybe a pink and blue Paisley, or Hawaiian style patterns.

Absolutely, although they may clash with my Louis Vuitton unhooking mat.

In the interview hes very open that everything he makes, whatever is is, will be made in china. So he really is just making the same as everyone else.

If youre making the same as everyone else you could at least seperate yourself ethically. Or make everything in the UK.

Id bet if you can bring out a range of eco friendly terminal tackle, or just use much less plastic, there would be a market for it. Not right now, but i think in the next few years attitudes will change and people will want eco friendly and British made.

Neither has he Although I have heard him say he's only going to introduce innovative products and then say on a live Facebook stream that he will also bring out products that will have his twist on it

Korda are currently transitioning away from plastic and instead using paper and card in their new packaging.

I always wanted them to bring out those floss caps in a more sunset yellow rather than the sweetcorn yellow they do right now. Here's hoping.

What's he going to do about Goo?

"Innovative" these days seems to be creating a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Innovation is also creating an alternative to a product that works perfectly fine, but you choose to add one more aspect which does not improve the original idea in the slightest.

That's Korda and a few others in a nutshell.

Aside from the Spomb, we have not seen anything new of any relevance. So that's what.... 15 years of stagnation?

I guess you could argue retractable rods have made an impact, but i've only ever seen them used on local park lakes and ponds. Fashion over Functionality.

I used a scope in the Pacific Ocean
I agree though, there has and will be very little innovation. It's over implicated as it is, what other angling discipline ‘requires' so much paraphernalia and home comfort?
You can spend 5 times more on a toy boat than a rowing boat ffs

Yeah, but can a rowing boat be sent out wirelessly via GPS to the exact spot that Hendrix has been caught from 7 times on a Turbo Ronnie German Reichstag rig (camo) with a Fluro Pink ball of Semolina (non camo) all researched after hours of casting a Sonar, one which could detect a Jap two miles down the Pacific Ocean?

Absolutely not. Therefore sir, you can stick your bright yellow Decthlon Kayak up your Samantha Janus.

Sod it, stick a drone up whilst your at it. Mine can destroy a wedding party in Iraq from 500m up with a payload of 500g cluster munitions in the form of air dried Nash Key Cray Cray.

(Meanwhile, the vast majority of other species records that I would sell my kids to catch are readily caught on double maggot on a size 14 trotted down a river, something I suspect most kids these days don't have a clue how to acheive)

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
