I still have a set of three daiwa emblem 5000t on my 10ft rods, and have just got another two for my big water barbel rods. Nice and light and the cranking power is awesome.
With a qd conversion and a proper line clip they are excellent.
I mentioned the Gardner baiting needle earlier. It's excellent.
And wrt the Shakespeare seat box, I have the earlier original model made by Riva (in black) before Shakespeare took it over.

I still use mine regularly for day sessions.
Lost count of the times I've had to retrieve the foam seat pad from the lake on windy days though...
Beyonce - I gave mine to my little sister when she wanted to come fishing with me. Figured if she could cope with that she deserved to come along

I've got the 5000t Black Editions. Best £90 I ever spent. Bought a set of 3 Daiwa Linear rods a week later.....for £90.
Almost handed myself into the old bill as I felt I'd robbed them.

Gardner brought out a lot of decent gear back then. The needles, the hair loop tyer, the little yellow spods, the groundbait press.... the black shadow/black panther stuff was without a doubt the best looking bankware out at that time.

I should mention the best ever pan set

I'd like to see how big they are now. At the time, strapped to my back while riding my bike it felt like carrying a washing machine.

I've got a wychwood solace foldall. It's a tackle bag with a built in bivvy table, unfortunately not made anymore so I don't know what I'll do when the times comes to replace it. They could've even taken it a stage further and converted it into a food bag with a prep table built in.

Still have my Wychwood System select quiver / sleeves and a holdall; absolute premium luggage at the time . . .

Recently got a Korda Hybrid Jacket very impressed with it. Only criticism would be that the sleeves are not windproof, I suppose if they were that would inhibit movement. Very well designed bit of kit.
