funnily enough i've have emailed Korda today before seeing this thread regarding not a tackle item but the whole process of reducing plastics in the POS arena, this came from getting a Tackle safe and being shocked at the amount of clear plastic packets i had piled up to throw away.

They came back to me straight away with a no nonsense honest answer which i thought was really good to be honest. They acknowledge the idea i put to them and indicated it would be good to explore even if it didn't go anywhere. Generally with the response and email exchange i would be happy to say if it was a goer i believe they would acknowledge the person who came up with the idea.

They did it with the Stows so would say that if it is something that a tackle company had appetite for and recognised the value they could take it on and run with it, add to the you have email proof that the idea was put to them by yourself and any company would struggle to defend IP rights.

Just in case you did ever find yourself in a situation where its 1 on 1 and the other person has a knife, when they lunge at you in a straight thrusting motion one way to quickly disarm the attacker is to slap the knife away in a clap like motion.

one hand hits the inside of the wrist where you would take someone's pulse the other hits the outside/back of the hand causing them to fold their hand in towards the chest, reflexes and pressure points make the assailant lose grip of the weapon straight away. This takes some practice and speed is required but with the world the way it is is very useful to have in the bank if you ever need it.

Rich worth tutifruity or just plain old treble bread punch disc (orange warburtons)

Its strange how companies come up with ideas, i developed a magnetic butt rest that clips to the rod using a rubber strap back in 2015/16. The point where i shot myself in the foot was releasing pictures of it in testing, although identical in looks to the ND ones my design was solid and simply could/would not let the rod move forwards obviously that part of the picture couldn't be seen....

I struggle to understand the no artificial bait rules and cork bans, how many people use bait companies that produce high boyancy popups made with Glass bubbles then throw this in the water when putting fresh on?

would it also be fair to say that attached to an artificial bait is a sharp bent piece of metal that could do far more damage if ingested?

Just seems bizarre to me
