I follow quite a lot of tackle companies, and getting really fed up being bombarded with stupid gimmicky products. I know I could unfollow them , sometimes they come up with some really good ideas . What's the worse product do you think as been put out there . I'll start for it was the avid but rests , no more than a deodorant cap to stand your rod in 😩.

The company Ali Hamidi is running brought out some box thing to attached to your rod so you could leave your lead and rig made up .

It just looked big and pointless to me .. 3-4 of them would take loads of room up when not in use .

I did this well over 30 years ago ,cutting a foam tennis ball in half ,like a clam,lead inside ,rig wrapped around the outside..

Worked well that did..


Speaking generally, what about that Nash runway thingy ,y'know a walkway to your rods '

You can't copyright an item someone else invented and makes. Then puts your name on it.

I bought a runway. But put my bushwhacker sections on it. I dont get gritt and mud in the joints. Bivvy pegs stop the sections rolling off in the wind.

😂😂😂 no war. But having had stuck joints on match poles I know the problems. So seemed a good idea to me.

There is a lot of gimmicky stuff out there..

Personally I like looking at it, yep even me..!As I shake my head in mock disbelief that it gets bought..

Best tip I learnt is only buy what you need ,rather than want..when I go fishing,which is rather a lot,..I only take with me what I need or use..saves weight,and keeps you less skint..

I look at it this way,some one has 200 floats,but really only uses one or two..,sort of analogy 🤔
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
