I've done it on low lying silkweed with a choddy and caught on it. Couldn't say for sure if the stringer was doing it's job though since I'd still catch after recasting and being too lazy to put another stringer on. Definitely works on a clean bottom with a wafter, especially on pressured water.

I can assure you won't be the only one using it. I still use and see people on the bank using them, but it is not as common as some other methods.

If I'm using a stiff hinge or choddy, I run the stringer from the weight. Even if it tangles with the rig, which only happens if I make the stringer quite long, it'll melt off anyway. Though on rare occasions it may have brought the hook around the leader. Just have to hit the clip and keep an eye on it when it goes down.

Ok tough guy... I often wild camp with only a tarp, but I still use a bivvy mat when fishing. It's fishing, not bushcraft/survival Bear Grylls wannabe camping.

Anyway, I use a cheap neoprene as mentioned above, but I use it instead of a bivvy floor. Neoprene has been the best material I've used for it.

With Fox buying Spomb and Nash taking in the Dot Spod, this might be Korda's chance to get in on the "Battle of the Spods".

I've got the regular triporter with standard wheels. Don't have the mud problem, only issue is that it pulls to one side if the wheels are adjusted evenly. The Trukka would just nose dive in the mud.

I shortened the handles on mine, helped not having to do the shoulder shrug to push, but didn't help the balance. If you get it, don't overload the front like you'd do on a normal barrow.

Avoid the Trukka! It carries loads but falls over at the slightest uneven surface/breeze/sneeze/fart. Pain in the rear to push, even if you balanced it to the ounce. I went Tri-porter and am very happy now.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
