Thread: Nash Bait.....

Hello everyone,
I'm not really surprised by the shutdown of Nash baits, as there were already major problems with the distribution of CC Moore.
I think the closure of Nash baits is just an excuse to save the Nash company. Yes, it's possible that baits aren't profitable, but I think they'd rather cut off an arm than a head.
Having worked in the fishing industry in France, I know very well that UK brands are much more aggressive than French brands, especially when it comes to store margins. I simply think that sales of Nash bait & tackle are declining (in France) or at least are not homogenous across the country, but above all that investments (trip to the USA for Nash France, employees paid handsomely for very little, stand at increasingly imposing trade shows....) have made the Nash company's economy very fragile.
I won't even mention sponsoring. They've fallen into the trap of sponsoring 2.0, where today's sponsors prefer 600 kg of free boilies a year to free fishing tackle. In short, the company needs to be restructured as soon as possible.

Thanks for your feedback!
What did you think of the products? Why doesn't this brand come to England?
I'll see with the customer services, thanks!

Thread: Cyprinus Typhoon MH questions

Hi guys!
I'm looking for a good shelter for this year and future years. I am very interested in the MH Typhoon from Cyprinus.
My only question is about the canvas. Is there a difference between the camouflage version and the classic green version? Does the camouflage last longer?
Thank you!

Hello,
I come in order to find a good biwy for a maximum budget of 400 euros. (yes I am French)
I'm looking for a reliable, solid, good quality shelter that can be assembled very very very very quickly.
I used to have a 100t trakker that I sold maybe a bit quickly.
I have some references in mind: solar compact spider biwy, trakker 100t or a cyprinus typhoon MH (that I can negotiate)
I have the solar, but I think it is not very well equipped. On the other hand, there's a lot of choice for the trakker, but everything in addition, it's a lot of money.
I like the cyprinus, but it's close to or exceeds my budget.
I do a few nights a year, nothing crazy. I'm looking for a compact, very fast and high enough. (140 cm minimum, I am 1m93cm)
I come to you if you have feedback on these products. Thanks in advance guys!

at worst, I think I can get a fast and light, as it seems to be 138 cm high
Is there any way to increase the height with higher storm poles?

Hi guys, and happy Christmas!
I'm hesitating for March-April on a new biwy.
I'm hesitating between the two following models: Trakker 100t and Cyprinus Typhoon MH.
I'm looking for a very very very fast biwy and 150 cm high. That's why I'm hesitating on these two models.
So it's for quick nights, max 48h. That's why I have a budget of 450e
I already had the 100t and was happy with it. With the recent auctions, I got to know the Cyprinus brand. By negotiating, I get the MH Typhoon at about 415 euros.
So, which model will you go for? Knowing that if I buy extra equipment for the 100t I will be almost at the same price as the MH.
Thanks in advance,

Hi guys!
I'm looking for new bait for next year.
I'm looking for a brand that can make quality baits, dense boilies, wafter, pop up, stick mix and liquids, a bit of everything.
Most importantly, I am looking for a brand that can ship to France (I am French) and if possible without astronomical shipping costs.
Thank you in advance,

Hi guys!
I am looking for a reception mat for next year
It has to be mobile, safe for fish.
I've had cradles before, but they're a bit too bulky.
I have a budget of 100 e
I am hesitating between the korda basix, daiwa infinity, aqua or trakker!
If you have any opinions, I'm ready.
I'm ready for it. Thank you!
