I use a variety of the Really Useful Boxes - made in the UK, very strong, with proper latches on them, unlike the cheap copies you can find in supermarkets.

The problem with Craghoppers. along with many other brands, is that they're still trading on the good reputation they established originally, whilst having dropped the quality of many products in order to maintain prices at a level where they think they can make most profit. I used to always buy Craghopper Kiwi trousers, both lined and unlined, but stopped doing so a few years ago when the last pair I bought were of noticeable poorer quality.
I now wear the 5.11 Tactical trousers used by many security personnel, with thermal long johns and/or Goretex overtrousers as conditions dictate and have no complaints at all.

It IS confusing, as the Greys website suggests the GT and Prodigy rods are two different series:

I bought a pair of GT2 3lb t.c. cork handle rods earlier this year when they were on offer at £95 each, and so far I've been very pleased with them, if that's any help?

I've noticed no difference in the length of time before wellies start leaking between cheap (£10) and relatively expensive (£40) brands, so I'm currently wearing the £10 Dunlop ones and they're fine. I also have a pair of neoprene Muck Boots for winter, but they're far too warm for summer use.

Both are described as being suitable for all-year-round use.

You could certainly ask Thomas Turner for a valuation, but this might give you an inflated idea of value - they do tend to err on the (very) heavy side!

Haven't used myself, but a fellow club member had good results last year on the Smoky Jack.

Carl, the older brother, has a rather lovely girlfriend - who, incidentally, he met on the bank when she showed an interest in a carp he'd just caught in snowy winter conditions...
Sorry, that wasn't meant to be a reply to the previous post - I clicked the wrong button!
