What would you still be buying and using if it hadn't been dropped?
Personally I loved these, best drop off I line I've ever used.

Good thing that carp can't read

SS3000 or SS1000 would be on my wishlist if they still made them.

The Gardner bank sticks, the ones with the two screws, think they were called black panther.

And a multitude of original bait flavours and additives.

Still got a couple at home from memory always favored the fox inline around this time the Nash ones with the solid plastic vain and the lead had a cut away the full length of the lead, the plastic insert was like a trilobe shape they were a good idea but were next to useless as the bit of plastic exiting the back that the tail rubber fitted onto would snap just looking at it, very brittle plastic.

If anything was still made for me it wouldn't be fishing kit it would be a Texan or Nutty bar.

The Gardner bankstick's with two screws were "Black Shadow". They still make them but sadly only one thumbscrew now. I still buy and use the original ones (Not Black Shadow) from the 80's with the brass top and one thumbscrew as they still sell those on Ebay and nothing on market these days matches them.

I had some Garner twist lock storm sticks in 36" and 48" heavier than lead but made to last which were green with brass looking auger points and double brass thumb screws, let them go with a Trakker big Z brolly system I gave to a mate.
Are you sure?
