Thanks for the replies, we went for the titan hide in the end. It was one of the only ones on display despite us travelling to many tackle shops.

Not set it up yet but it will be plenty big enough for him for a few years.

Cheers

Hi all, my lad has been slowly getting into fishing and now wants to come along with me for some overnighters. He's almost 12 and has made it clear he doesn't want to share a double with his boring Dad.

Theres some good deals on this weekend and I've found a couple of options but want some opinions before I pull the trigger.

The choices are ;

Nash titan hide full system £269
Solar tackle camo brolly £199
Sonik AXS v2 £289

The only thing I need to be wary off is pack down size, smaller the better now I'm having to squeeze another angler in the motor!

Yeah round here a slab is a big bream :

I know this is a bit old now but I've just come into a set of these.

If you still need I can upload a picture of the ones I have.

How strange, how long ago did you purchase yours?

The one my step dad had was maybe 8 months ago.

Now I've seen the reel and braid in question I can confirm this braid is absolute tosh.

My step dad bought this reel and had no end of hassle with the braid. We changed it to J braid and it's been fine since.

If you're still having issues with it after removing some then I'd recommend changing it. Do note that this reel has mono as backing line.

I've had good success with the new red trakker braid. Hitting 120+ without any fraps. However I do always make sure the braid is wet before I cast.

Cannot comment on the trakker but I've just purchased the frontier x and love it.

There is a significant price difference between the 2 so perhaps they should not be compared. The X can be had with an overwrap for £550. The RS is between £850-£900!

Thanks for the replies guys.

I did go and look at a few bivvies setup and the aqua really wasn't doing it for me. It seemed dated.

Local store did price match TFT so I ended up getting the frontier X, only set it up in the garden but it went up very easily and it feels solid.

Cheers!

Ah thanks for that, that wasn't even on my radar.

I had an original aqua but i remember reading somewhere that trakker had took over them and their quality went to crap?

Do you know what the headroom is like on the aqua? I'd like enough room to sit on my bed upright. Something I cannot do now, I'm not a tall chap. Only 5'8

Thanks.
