17 Feb 2004 it says I joined, 22 years ago. Might have been the first website forum I ever registered to when my parents first decided to get internet, mental how long ago it was.

I just got my old man a set of these in red, he absolutely loves them, they have the magnet ball line clip as well, 3x for £20, absolute bargain. Funnily enough he was upgrading from his old Korda Stows as well.

I've used the new Submerge Naturals in 45lb for a couple of years and found it really good for casting and sinking, I can hit about 140 yards with 12 foot rods and a rig attached, never found it wanting strength wise. Also used the Avid stuff before that which I never had any problems with. I found both sank well, Fox stuff a bit better for casting.

The Avid stuff is very good and so is the new Fox Naturals stuff, I used the 45lb, the Fox stuff casts a bit better but they box sink well and are very strong. I preferred the Fox stuff personally but would have no problem using either.

not any pockets on my one but it is the mk1 so not sure about the newer ones, on their Facebook page they actually do really good videos and a walk around of all the features on the bivvies they do. The bags are nice and thick as well, not oversized though so you have to pack everything down right but not too tight honestly.

yeh the metal work is good, never had an issue with any of the poles or anything, I've had it for abut 3 years now. The inner capsule is a really nice touch as well.

I got the Mk1 and its amazing tbh, the 20k material is so good and its solid as a rock when set up. The material is so thick you genuinely need a headtorch inside in the daytime if you zip the doors up.

You could try and get some reflective tape and stick a few bits to the flight on the marker float, as long as you're not miles out you should be able to get a reflection back.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
