Been waiting for the FreeSpirits to come in stock everywhere i did have a hold of one at a fishing show the other weekend and they are really nice rods but im fussy and want the cork handled version.

I was just wondering should i just carry on waiting because i was told by the rep on the stand that new stock was imminent or is there another rod that is just as good in the same price range?

Thanks for all the comments in the end i went for the Solar Worldwide Wide 8 Leg sleep system which i got for £365.
I havent had chance to test it yet because the shop sent me just the bedchair instead of the sleep system so im waiting for it to be exchanged.

Hi all im going to start doing occasional nights next year and im looking for a suitable bedchair for me im 5'11 and weigh 21 stone.
I dont mind either buying a bedchair and sleeping bag separately or buying a sleep system but i havent got a massive budget.
Any suggestions would be massively appreciated

Lost my wife last June and after she passed i was told i should go out every week for a days fishing.It was one of the best decisions i made just to get away from it all for a few hours and do one of the things i love.The club water i fish has a memorial garden and just by chance one of the other members was putting some flowers down anyway we got talking and it turned out he had lost his wife about the same time as me and we literally just stood and talked and i know for me it helped talking to someone who was in the same situation as me at the time.I havent fished since early November because my mate who drives wouldnt fish in the cold and i havent renewed my ticket for the year yet due to finances being tight.I know i need to get it sorted and go soon though for the good of my mental health

My current chair of choice is a Nash Indulgance Big Daddy chair
I originally brought it for my partner who is disabled and i thought it would be ideal for her to sit in but after a few episodes where i literally had to roll off my low chair because im getting older and my knees arent as good as they used to be so i decided to use it.
I do love it but the main problem is it weighs a ton and i dont use a barrow.So i was wondering what chairs other people would recommend that are comfortable but lighter?

Yeah my late dad had a set of the 6fts and absolutely loved them
I can get a pair of the wychwoods with cork handles for just under £180

I have actually looked at those because someone said they were exactly the same as another companies rod that were twice the price.

Strangely enough i messaged them today asking about there rods and it will cost me £200 a rod at least but i am tempted to spend the extra after seeing people recommend them on here
