Had these for a couple of years, never liked the coating until a few weeks ago when I realised you have to steam it to keep it straight,( into a boom).
HLS coated hook length.

Had this happen to me a couple of days ago, never occurred to me it could be from standing on the cross piece. Usually use a small drill and peg it down but got lazy. Emailed nd with pictures to buy the part and waiting for an answer. Hope they do parts for it.

Had this happen to me a couple of times. I like nd products but these butt ends are lethal. Replaced mine with jag ends. Hope you get your gear back sooner than later.

The drivers will not deliver to any high rise. The drivers seem to say to who and where they will deliver, I don't use any dealers who use DHL

I never buy from anyone who has dhl as a delivery option, worst company going.

Now insured with animal friends. Thanks all for your help

Took our 9 month old jack Russel to the vets because he was scratching his right ear badly.
Vet, a young girl asked which ear was worst , I told her the right, she took a stethoscope and checked his chest, felt his rib's said he was slightly over weight... well he was a puppy, don't they say that about puppy fat in humans.
Used the torch thing in his ear to tell me it was his right ear....really.
Gave me an ear wash and ear drops, went to reception to collect......£103.
Got home and checked products online........£24.99.
£78.00 for 5 minutes work to tell me my puppy was overweight and to repeat what I already told her which ear".........what a ripoff. Need to change my vets. I am a pensioner by the way.

I've only been fishing for 5 years, since retiring, I'm still useless at casting and get annoyed at not putting the rig where I want it, watched loads of YouTube to get it right but still can't.
I'd love a bait boat but can't afford one so I'll continue to get it wrong but I still catch.
I thought the fun was in the hooking and landing of the fish, waiting for the alarms to go off with your heart beating when it does. “ great “ . Try the boat out you just might like it.
