The time has come to renew the wardrobe of fishing trousers!
Been looking at the Korda Original Kombats and Heavy Joggers, but I'm not sure about the carp-tax!
Anyone have any recommendations for eBay or Amazon?
Also, I normally wear a light material trouser. Do you think joggers would be more comfortable in the summer?

This really depends on how you like to pack your rods, swap a lot, take just enough or 5.
I recently went from Speedo quiver and sleeves to Korda Compac 5 Rod. Love it and find it more compact and just easier to use. I use 3 + Spod in winter and 2 + Spod in summer, and I'm wondering if would have been even more compact with a 3 Rod sleeve and separate 1 Rod to attach in winter. But I do like the space to carry 2 nets and 2 retention slings on the outside.

Another vote for the Matrix 3k camo.
I did tie a little knot in the drawcord to tighten the arms a little (personal preference), but a quality light net

I can fit my sp-tech bedchair under mine.
Much more room with my benchmark lite though!

I got the green second hand. Proper bargain and going strong.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the comments.
I've decided to go with a set of Mini Microns X's.
I have a set of TXi-d's at the moment so will hang on to them. If I don't like the fox's I'll sell em and go back to the dell's. If I feel like I need more features I sell both and get some RX+'s.

I have a Solar Undercover.
Must say I find it really easy to use, good coverage and the large vent at the back a god send on really hot days

I'm thinking of changing my alarms as I just fancy a change.
Option's are Mini Micron X or Micron RX+.
Big price difference, and is it worth it? I tend not to fiddle with settings once set up, so really just fit n forget!
Is the extra sensitivity and maybe range on the RX+ really worth the high price?

I have a set of original ISO's and cannot fault them. Never missed a beat even though only serviced once in 20 years! I now have them on my 12ft 2.5lb daiwa whiskers
I had a set of 14000XTB's which I sold. Recently bought a set of Basia 45's. Thought about the 14000XTD's, but the super slow oscillation would do my head in trying to line up handles and spool out/in!!!
Are you sure?
