Has anyone tried this out yet? Any feedback or information on it?

Edit: JRC, not Gardener.

Glasgow Angling Centre have the JRC Extreme TX Throwing Stick 16mm version on sale for £25 ex delivery. Not seen it in the flesh or any reviews but seemed like a good deal.

Apparently the JRC contact hooks have a huge eye.

Thanks for this. TFT have this on sale for £440 now so I think I'm gonna take the plunge.
I've been looking for something to replace my V2 Tempest Brolly and this ticks all the boxes for me.

I tried using a hook bead but still didn't really like it. I changed over from 20lb Mouthtrap to 30lb TA Recoil and it behaves much better. No chance of the D moving now. And if you give the rig a good tug, pulling the micro ring swivel down to the eye, it makes a handy kink in the D that looks really good. I'll give it a go this weekend. Thank for all the advice.

Thanks. I've seen this before and it's not what I'm trying to achieve. I want a very stiff section for the pop up to help with anti ejection. I've just seen a Mark Pitchers video on youtube (Mark Pitchers Hinge Rig) that is similar actually, but he ties the stiff section to a ring swivel rather than using a knot.

With the ever popular spinner rig being used everywhere I've been looking at alternatives that offer similar advantages. (Quick change of hook, low lying pop up, 360 movement etc)
I was playing around with a combi rig last night comprising of doubled over 20lb mouth trap pushed over the hook multi style, albright knotted to coated braid. I like the look of the presentation, but can't get my head around the loop slipping out of position. Does anyone in here use this presentation? Any advice please?
Are you sure?
