This made me laugh
RX digitals - great alarms, stolen by my son...
Can he get me a new Range Rover?

Re-reading that I see what you mean 😂! Not sure he would go as far as a Range Rover but I guess if I had one he would probably try 🙈

Despite having thousands of pounds of kit over the years free spirit, rods aqua bivvys etc etc itys always the simplest but most effective items that do it for me and with that in mind the humble ridge monkey toaster has to be right up there for me - small, lightweight, takes loads of abuse and has changed the game for me
After that a Power barrow - Ive had a few and would never go back to non powered

It has got to be my pushbike trailer. I fish a water that can require a 1-and-a-half-mile walk, my trailer has changed my angling completely on there.
Whilst it has appeared relatively recently. I am a huge fan of BAS luggage and hold-all stuff. I've got quite a few bits, some custom. All very well made. Check it out.

Best designed kit for me would have to be North Western 42'' glass fibre landing net arms, and spreader block. Replaced the pole with a carbon one about 20 years ago, and the mesh numerous times (obviously), but the arms and block are still as good as new, after nearly 40 years use.
Also my Wychwood System Select rod holdall, and Ruckman rucksack from the mid 90's when they were British made (the one's with the PVC / rubber internal material for those that remember) - material, stitching, zips, still all going strong.

That net is Trigger's broom, lad. it's not still going strong at all
But that NW pole, light and strength like scaffolding.
The old wychwood ruckman was great, I had one too. Great luggage and build quality.

Ha.....Triggers broom did enter my mind as I was typing it.
However, the point is the arms and block are literally bombproof!
And the pole is too as you point out, just a little on the chunky side for me. I'll wait till the carbon one breaks, then bring it back into action.

Got to be the old daiwa emblem 5000t.for me i think, granted not the prettiest of things but the amount of originals are still in use is remarkable, most relegate them to spod or marker work which is a testament to their durability. Oh and the retractable gardner braided hair needle, saved many a thumb that has

I'm going for the humble seatbox
As a bit of design genius it ticks all the boxes (no pun intended)

Good if you had the dough for a decent one. Not so good if you had the sh**e Malibu one from Argos like I did.

Shakespeare Seat box!
I got one around 1988/89, used it for years, all my roach tackle is still in it, although I have 'passed' it onto my son.
