I've fished down there for 30 years on and off. Tricky waters but catchable. Fish original seen but caught infrequently. There are otters from time to time but they tend to take the smaller fish from my observations. Not seen or heard of many about since the gravel extractions started around there a couple of years ago. 90 % of cars that get issues are golf's or cadets with alumnium sumps, and drivers going too fast. I've never seen a car with a bumper missing there,let alone 3! Tracks alright atm as gravel company is using it so it's well topped off apart from the last section.

Just sent one of those cyprinus back as had holes in the very thin material! Poor quality very thin not durable imo. Given up buying brollies they all seem poor quality and worse than my old Fox jobby that leaks!
Solar one not much better. Maybe I'm just unlucky

Take a good look at it on the stitching on the end of the front ribs. I just sent one back as could see daylight through the stitching and had a small hole in it when I set it up!!

I got a solar sp with infill it's no heavier than my old fox super brolly system. Just compared in the garage. Tad Smaller tho, about 10 and a bit kg SP seems better made than my old ultra although time will tell! Cheap deals on eBay at the moment

I have ERs and they are a great rod but not and out and out chucking tool. Lovely action but I wish I'd gone for the 13s only because I'm fishing at longer ranges occasionally . Fishing ERs comfortable to 120 yards and the tips great for feeling a drop. I'm no chucker really tho. They are fine for fishing short range. Aviators are nice tho but hi s hold there money better over time I'd say. Thinking of the e class 13fts su for chucking if anyone has any experience of them?

Glad I read this as was about to buy one! I do t see how the zip cover at the back is waterproof as doesn't Velcro down? Bit of wind and rain it will surely flap about and come through the zip? I think I'll wait for you lot to field test and get a mark 2 lol

I ordered some Ronnie booms. The first one I tied up when I gave it a pull the swivel loop popped out of the barrel I got in touch and they refunded the order to be fair Been using since had no issues but always give them a good test!!

I just shove the pole into the bushes etc behind. Never been an issue but I guess it would if your swims are dug outs
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
