Since the aqua camo f&L came out I wanted it but already had the green so wasn't going
to spend the extra money. A mate offered good money for my f&L and I seen cyprinus had
released a camo version so I sold mine and bought it hoping it would be of good quality as
It was half the price of the aqua version.
Well to cut a long story short it is exactly the same brolly down to the hold-all bag and the pegs.
I bought the overwrap and even that came in the same trakker box that my aqua wrap was
delivered it. The only difference I can see is the storm poles.
I know we all pay a bit of carp tax but aqua charging over twice the price for the same product
Is not on. That's the last time I buy anything aqua and I'm going to be more careful with
what carp gear I spend my hard earned on from now on.

I got the Brolly system and I can echo it being the same , the only difference is the badge on the Brolly and bag and don't have the small logo on the groundsheet to tell it is the front,the storm poles are exactly the same as Aqua

I've got a little cyprinus badge on the front of my groundsheet mate. And my storm poles are definitely different to the ones I bought from aqua

I think it's because you have the newer mk2 camo brolly. The system is the older style aqua mk1 ninth rib so slightly different.

I wanted a green one, but with people still asking 200 quid or more secondhand for an aqua one its actually a strange situation...

I emailed cyprinus a while back to ask if they planned to release a green compact m3 and green mk2 fast and light. They replied saying there was no plans to do so at the moment. Shame, I prefer green over dpm.

So the aqua quality has dropped between mk1 and mk2?
And what the hell are you doing under a brolly in -2 !!
