Why is it a bargain compared to the Diem?

Ah, cheers mate, didn't know that. In that case, I'll have a look when it arrives and probably take it back. Looks like I may still be on the look out for a new stick. 🤣

When the retail price is £80 and its selling for £55, I would think most people would consider it a bargain. Why compare it to something that's not available anymore?

You don't know if it's any good though?

The diem stick is still available for £35, it just has an NGT sticker on it now.

I didn't know the NGT is a rebadged Diem so sorry mate.

Is there really going to be that much difference between the NGT one and say yhe Daiwa Infinity or Orient ones then?

I honestly don't know. I've had the diem one for a while and it's fine. Noisy, but does the job. I had the Korda plastic one before that and the carbon is much better. I'm tempted by one of the orient ones after Yonny pointed them out, but I very rarely use a stick these days due to the poxy seagulls.

The NGT, the diem and the Gardner propela look like the same product to my eyes. I have an NGT one and it's fine, just slightly heavier than the Diawa.

They might of sorted the issue out now,when you get it go give a try.If when you give it some force you can feel any flex by the port then I would be concerned

I've got infinity and fox r20, had both since they came out and use the fox most and never had an issue.

With your limp wrists you might not be putting enough into it

Have you ever heard heard of them snapping at the loading port? On the R20, what sort of distances would be expected.

😂😂😂 I've done well with sticks. Had an Infinity since they first came out and both sizes of Fox and not killed any touch wood. I did use to destroy the Korda ones for fun though😂😂
Got the Infinity when I was on Welly so a lot of boilie went through that, no flex whatsoever and bloody light, however very, very noisy😂😂

So do I need to be concerned about the Fox R2 then?

Never used a carbon stick before. Had a Korda Easy stick before.
Are you sure?
