It's hilarious to see there's so many that think he's such a marketing genius he's doing all this stuff on purpose. Purposely released the twig to cause an uproar and have better sales on the wand...

Everyone forgetting at korda he didn't make business decisions like he does at OMC. He might be a marketing whizz but clearly business decisions aren't a strong point.

He's hoping this wand is magic and will revive the business, sadly he's mistaken.

There's an old Chinese proverb which says, " If you see something strange and ignore it, it's strangeness will vanish". Just ignore him, don't watch his vids or buy his products. Why stress yourself with such triviality.

I've just seen the 50 second clip and there's a photo popped up of him with “Omc”shaved into his Mohican and it's even shaped like the twig rig as well absolutely stupid and the hairstyle makes him look like a wannabe MMA fighter as well,and all the fan boys saying “ignore the haters” & “we love you hamidi” etc pathetic really

Their stuff is aimed at a different demographic to me , so I'm safe and don't look at it anymore . I thought it would be good to have another development type company , but the silly names etc show it's aimed at tictok / Facebook / smash anglers . Some of the gear may be good , but it's put me off bothering and I walk past their tackle stands . Morally it's on the edge of what I think we need , just one step away from a more fierce twig , or some bright spark will take it further .

It's only a haircut for f@#k sake..

Well, I've now had a chance to watch the twig gate vid. And it seems the magic twig is no more a fish killer than anyother piece of plastic we attach to the end of our line.

The Magic wand. With a bit more forethought buttons rather than arms would of saved himself a whole heap of trouble in the first place. But he got there in the end

Still looks a barstard though..

This is embarrassing 😳 just watched it - never heard so much **** ,desperate! The arms maybe smaller but it will still snag in nets for one most responsible fisheries owner will ban it and rightly so !

if it was that safe, whys he changed it, if the twig/ wand hooks every fish,why does he sell every component for every rig imaginable as it wouldn't be needed as the twig would hook with a knotless knot and a semi sharp hook.

he's a salesman and this is his attempt to launch the wand.....its nothing more than a product launch.....you'll only see the footage he wants you to see.

So he did that research and testing with the twig only to come out with a new version a year later.

I don't understand his argument for holding back all this unseen footage to protect the sport ??

In one clip he actually proves it does acts as a weed rake !!

Why is now being replaced if it was so safe ?
I can see everyone banning the new version as there is nothing to gain for the fishery to allow it.

As he says. He's spent hundreds of thousands on new injection moulds, staff fine, etc for the sole purpose of pleasing the naysayers....


In the real world, he realised other people were right, even if they went about it the wrong way and made a mk2 that is better and what he should have done in the first place. He's now trying to sell it. The twig won't be in stock anywhere even if he says it'll still be sold.

Are you sure?
