Has anyone used any of the Forge Tackle gear?
I've interested in the large unhooking mat - any comments or recommendations?
Cheers
Matt

I did see they are based in Slovenia.
I'd be interested in your thoughts when you get yours.

Cheers

Well it's currently in Germany. It left Slovenia, quick pit stop in Austria.

Did it arrive? And if so is it any good?

I like the look of the cradle and sling combo

Yep, arrived the day before i was due to fish. Folds in half so doesnt take up a lot of room. Very impressed and managed to christen both with a 15lb mirror :-)
It is a little shorter than most cradles i have seen but its perfect for the UK as i dont fish lakes with massive fish in them. Probably wouldnt take to France but i still have my larger cradle for that. Comes in a case as well.

yeah really good, comes in a case, good quality, bit bulky but to be expected as its a large mat.

Yes exactly why I asked on here... I looked at about several of their reviews yesterday, nothing negative to say whatsoever.

This does look pretty good. I like the way the carry bag holds the sling and cradle together, looks like scales could get in there too.

Is the cradle a bit small in length though? I dont want to buy this, then have to get another, larger cradle for certain venues. Any ideas what size fish would this be suitable for?



Are you sure?

Yes, continue
