Hi

Looking for a new retainer. Any recommendations please.

Thanks

I’ve got a Chub retainer/weigh sling which I got years back, solid and dependable. Trakker would be my next port of call for a new one, good quality gear across the board that
I’ve used.

Have been looking recently, not because I need one, just want one. The solar and Carplife both look good.

I'll second that I've also got a chub retainer also had it years and it's still going strong

I have both a trakker sanctuary & JRC Defender retainer and they are both very good quality but the JRC edges it out for me as the trakker takes a lot longer to dry.

Got a fox str xl. Drains and dries quickly, packs away small

I've had a couple of the NGT retainers - they have been really good for me. And budget.

Trakker sanctuary is good but I have to catch a carp to use it so haven’t used it that much 😂😂😂😂

If you want big bulky and heavy, didn't Boris say heavy is reliable 😂😂?

Get the Cotswold one, it's likely to outlast me, so unlikely I'll ever need another one 👌

They stopped doing the Chub retainers, you can still find the odd 1 online or go 2nd hand. Mine got nicked so just replaced it with the Korda retainer..its really good and the material seems to drain and dry better.

I like the Korda Compac range of weighslings and retainers.
