A company called "The Pellet Guys" bought Tasker's stock from HMRC heavily reduced when they were unable to pay the VAT ransom.
Hence they are able sell them at about half the RRP = £6.
They are good quality, come in a decent case but without a toggle to screw them in with but are drilled for one.
No cord measure is included.
I doubt you will find cheaper .
Pellet Guys have their own website and Face ache page and also go to a few Angling shows.

Contact Keith at Defiant MPS. I imagine he would be able to make some with his 'proper' steel augers 👍

I brought and used the avid ones... as the saying goes.... buy cheap buy twice.....

I have now purchased th Jag/Korda sticks after the tops broke off one of the avid sticks.

Considering the price you may as well just go for the better quality kit IMO.

I've been struggling with the Cygnet ones for ages now, don't get me wrong they go in Softish Ground ok and have a 12' cord so do the job they're designed for ok but the lakes I fish generally have rock hard banks so getting the sticks in is tough going...

I've resisted buying the Korda ones just because they are silly money for what they are, I recently found a fella knocking them out cheap on Facebook though so bought a set off him, they haven't seen the bank yet but on first impressions they are exactly what I need.

I've already got the Excavator Bank Sticks and these will go into hard ground exactly the same way from what I can see.
