I recall the sainsburys basics range that isn't much kop either.

Why would anyone want to buy cheap crap that you'll on only end up buying twice, three times before you realise that you've wasted your money.

And this is the pointy bit which goes in the fish's mouth .....

Are it just my thoughts or is the eye of the hook turned more inwards?

I think that is so you don't need a kicker thus saving money.
Fox have a budget range of hooks too.

Smaller profit margin, but sell more in volume.

If they don't do the volume they risk reducing their overall margin.

Was that a generic question or one regarding fishing stuff lol

If generic it's like someone who buys an expensive car which for most just does exactly the same as a cheap one

For fishing landing nets rods etc there are so many examples.

I guess it all comes down to perception each to their own.

Though if someone brings out a cheap range you really have to ask are you getting value for money and yes time will tell, though there's been many examples of companies that have traded on price and gone under.

With COVID we will all have to pay more and live with less in our pocket.

On the contrary, the hook for instance is the most important part, why skimp?

I have tried bank tackle and mosquito angling hooks because they were cheap and to be honest, they were cr*p so i went back to paying more for gardner and esp

Id rather have cheap rods, alarms and reels etc. but spend more on hook, line and bait

Not being funny, but until you try, why slag off, too much of this already going on!
I myself pick what I think is quality tackle, I don't scrimp and save on anything, unless I think that's it's good enough for my use, but what's to say that this “brand” from Korda isn't quality enough for the majority?
Personally getting fed up with the haters, yes there businesses, but let's put another perspective on it, how many search for cheaper insurance deals, foods, is that not the same, or am I missing something?

That is kind of what im saying......although in also saying that some things are worth spending money on

These will be fine, they're made by korda so they cant be garbage (despite what some will say!)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
