Please do report back - interested to hear what you have to say about the Solar.

So based on your replies i will most likely focus on the Solar and also take a look at the Fox Flatliner X. Hopefully they will have some good offers around Nov-Dec.

I am worried about the weight but at the same time since i`m not from the UK, i don`t use a barrow and i need to load the bed from my garage in the car and then i can reach most fishing pegs around here with a car, so basically i won`t really need to carry it around that much.

I am also a side sleeper and at home i prefer to sleep on a more firm materss. A question then for the Solar SP-C MK2 - is the matress firm or soft? I don`t want it to sag

Hey guys,

I`m in the market for a new sleep system, but struggling to decide which one. Read reviews, watched some videos and i`m more or less between the Trakker Levelite Oval MF-HDR and the Solar SP C-tech Sleep System mk2.

From what i understood, the Solar is maybe the most comfortable one, but it is very heavy at ~20kgs. The Trakker one is ~17kgs.

I need some help to decide

I`m looking at the Deeper Chirp+ 2 - 265 quid with sunglasses bundle. To be honest, i would preffer to have the Deeper only as i already have nice sunglasses.

Do you guys think 265 quid for the Deeper is as lowest i can find it? Should i wait for Black Friday (it`s not urgent for me to buy)?

So the Bulletproof is also good for casting as well? I'm more or less decided on giving it a try - just need to place an order

One more thing - do you think that 1000m 0.31 will be enough to spool on 3xShimano XTD14000 with the reducers - 10000 maybe? or 3500

Yes, i always use a braided schock leader to prevent crack-offs and thinner line to achieve the distance. I will most likely go with the Solar one or spool up the Technium again

Between 27 and 32 depends on the swim

Roughly around 120 yards. I`m using Greys Aiircurve 3.25lb at 12ft with 3.5 oz leads

Thanks for the replies guys. Anyone used the Exocet from Fox on 12lb - is it any good?

I`m looking for reccomendations for a mono line that would be best if i need to fish long range in snaggy waters.

So far been using Shimano Technium Black at 0.31 and it`s good (it`s really strong - i`ve pulled branches out of the water with it) but it does coil up a lot..

I had a look at the Synchro XT Loaded and Fox Exocet (both at 0.30-0.31mm options) as they are rated as good casting lines, but i can also go back to the Technium as well.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
