Married huh????

Quite right matey . Yours are like a legered reverse upside down zigged floater float

i have to say, i was well impressed by the rigz section, and as you say you can implement anyone's gear to replicate the rigs BUT most kids coming up today would take it as gospel that the rig just HAS to have the line suggested at the very least to get the same effect so while we are at it we might as well do a proper job with the rig rings, putty and hooks etc too. so for the cost of a couple of grand to set it up it will eventually pull in a hell of a lot more in revenue (or tax write offs) so yes, big up to DF for the charity work and all the educational stuff (again tax deductible) he is putting in place, but you cannot escape the fact that it is meant to enrich his bank balance in the long run. i dont mean to belittle Danny one bit, i think the man has one hell of a set of eggs to get as far as he has. and i think he does more for charity than anyone else i could mention. but sorry to sound pessimistic, i doubt he would do it if it actually cost him money p.s. i have actually learned somethings from the knot section so 'bookmarked'

DF bashing is becoming a bit of a pastime, but to be fair to the bloke it don't matter who DF, KN, RG. they might be nice blokes to talk to but they ALL want your money. that's why they are in business. even the "educating the youngsters" line is aimed at generating cash in the long run. every bit of tackle that they produce, good or bad is aimed at getting wonga out of your wallet. every FREE dvd is just promotional gumph to get you to buy their gear and line their pockets. every angler that they sponsor is just a walking advert that most carpers see as hero's and seek to emulate, thereby further generating cashola. all purveyors of carp tackle sell c rap as well as gold, you just have to be astute enough to see thru the hype and choose wisely. so go ahead and bash DF if you feel you need to, but dont forget that others are just as guilty of opportunism. i do apologize to Danny, Kevin and Richard for using you as examples but that does apply across the board to all tackle developers and manufacturers and in fact ANY one who is in the business of supplying goods to the public. rant over

Jeeez

I think a lot of it is due to how most of their "tips" are just product placement. I also think a lot of their products are overpriced, their hooks aren't sharp (I also don't like the beaked points) and some of their products are promoted as "safe" when I don't believe they are. I don't hate Korda, I actually use and rate a number of their products and I appreciate their attempts to educate young anglers.

NM as soon as winter kicks in and my lake is empty of anglers I plan to be gizzing every session
