I've had one for a while now and had no issues at all
Great little barrow with a handy under bag and packs up nice and small

I know they get bad reviews sometimes but I thought I'd share my recent experience

I purchased a Tempest 200 which got delivered on Thursday, There was a small hole box when I received it and upon opening could see that the outer carry bag had a hole in it
This had been caused by the poles pushing through the bag as the cover over them had obviously come off in transit

I contacted them straight away on WhatsApp and they replied within 2 hours asking if I'd be happy to keep the bivvy and they would get a new bag sent direct from Trakker

I was happy with this and agreed, they contacted me about an hour later and said this had all been arranged and would arrive within 5/7 days

Well it has just been delivered 2 days after I contacted them

Just thought they deserve a mention for great customer service

I've got a Korum Aeronium that I use on the rivers

Think it only weighs 2kg and I can strap it on my rucksack if I want
Plenty comfortable enough for a day

I have both the Sunblesa and Nitecore Nu25

Both weigh nothing and a very similar, I actually prefer the Sunblesa as it has a green light on it which i find is better for my eyes

The only thing i would say is the batteries don't last ages but I just have one on charge and one in use, I think it's a small price to pay for the weight and compactness of both

Can easily be left on your head when you sleep as you don't even notice they are there or I just leave mine hanging round my neck

Don't think I'll ever go back to a heavier head torch now and would happily replace both like for like if they ever break

I did have one of these before and did like it but sold it to get the Springbow
I should have kept it as a spare

Thanks all

I had a Korda spring now but as mentioned I didnt like the thickness of the handle either

I have been in contact with Dymag for over a year now waiting for them to be ready to trade again but haven't heard back for a while

Considered a Dobbins as they do look good but wasn't to keen on the spreader block as can't imagine it's very lightweight

The Buzzard ones looks similar to the Dymag but wasn't sure on the quality of finish etc

Don't want to invest a decent amount of cash on something I wasn't totally happy with

Hi all

Looking to treat myself to a new custom landing net

I've been looking at the Buzzard rods reverse taper net
Has anyone got one or had any work done by them before?

It looks like a decent net from what I can see online

Thanks in advance

I have the Jetboil one, handle folds, non stick coating seems hard wearing and it's a doddle to clean
Comes in a nice draw string bag to keep it protected too

Thanks for the replies guys
It's only really the 2 options I'm looking at and pros and cons of each
I have a Tempest v2 brolly currently with a social cap and size wise it's big enough just not the height, After a week it takes a toll on my back and knees
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
