Been around Carp Angling for a long time
managed to make my worse buy ever
Aqua long arm net floats £16:99
I have A1 bowloc net quite slim but it was a job
getting them on arms you then use pull ties to keep them on
I could not get the net over the float glad I did not use ties
£16:99 two bits of foam with nylon covering and eight ties

a Chub Precision Lite Pod Base and bank sticks. The pod was great but the sticks either did not fit or were to small and would not tighten up - big pile of poo!

There was a post on here a few days ago about that very such problem .
I'm pleased I read it..looks like everyone has the same problem, that's why they are now being sold off at £13.
The worst thing I ever bought was an annual membership for Big Waters Angling Club......they have no fookin' fish except splegg roach.

Trakker Cayman bivvy.

Did half a dozen sessions and at least on thing tore, snapped or split on each occasion. Was pretty much unusable at that point so sent it back in a bin bag. Trakker sent a credit and bought a Tempest Air. Must have done around 200 nights in the Air and not a single problem, none whatsoever. Others rate the Cayman so seems I had a bad batch.

The Fox 'load shift' trolley - late 80s early 90s.

Broke - bolted - Broke - welded - Broke - bolted and welded - Broke - binned. All within a couple of months, and it wasn't cheap.

Haven't spent more than a tenner on anything Fox since.

I got my ridge monkey bucket during lockdown, with the toilet seat. The thought of taking a dump into a ridge monkey product got the better of me in that strange time.

Yeah if we're going way back then Silstar FX40 reels, Would last maybe 2-3 trips then you'd have to replace them. Cheap but crap. Still was only doing a paper round back then

The KJB rod pod. First of its kind. A bit of wind would send it and your rods scuttling down the bank.

Fox impact spod. First one broke after 3 casts. 2nd "improved" one lasted a little longer but had now also broken. The pin comes out. Also it doesn't open reliably and it's a pig to retrieve. Other than that it's awesome!
