I've never bought new pegs........ I've lost the occasional peg on the bank and borrowed one from another bivvy set if I think it will be needed...... Damaged pegs are usually the result of a mallet being used, something I don't do... Besides, most of the time you only need 3 or 4 pegs.... I think there is an age group/mentality group that these sort of products are aimed at, and it's got nothing to do with fishing.... I've been trying to offload some used gear, free of charge to any youngsters that are without certain bits..... Bed chair, bags, Rod holdall...... First thing they ask is "what make is it".... There is a serious fashion thing going on with the youngsters today on the bank........ Designer fishing gear, pointless imo.

In that case I must have arms like Thor😉😅 Don't push them in, screw them in. If it gets stuck on a stone or flint, wobble it, you'll feel it push free, then screw again. You may need to try a different spot or angle within the peg ring, but they will go in. The worst I have had to do is step on a peg to push then down the last little bit. The peg I pictured is just one on the movie bank which are all hardcore, there are 5 more on that bank alone, and many others are gravel based swims. By doing the way mentioned above, I get my pegs in without using a mallet.

I've had banks like this and I agree , they are a nightmare. I find that pitching near a decent sized tree (obviously not in high winds) is best.... Years of leaf litter mulching down will usually mean there's a layer of earth, you can angle your pegs into........... Mallets mate, you just shouldn't really use them on the bank imo, the guy a couple of swims down who's been patiently waiting with his traps nicely set would be pulling his hair out, he might only get 1 sesh a month to fish...

Batten... Batton...... Potatoe, potartoe....... I've got an off cut off 2x1 roofing batton, I push down on that and onto the peg, works for me... There's usually only 1 or 2 pegs that need it

What are you hitting them with?😱 Mine are over 10 years old, get moved from bivvy to bivvy each time I buy a new one. I am very careful to not lose them, if one gets blown out, I go searching, but have spares, from each new bivvy I get. I have never needed to hammer a bivvy peg in, even in the ground the brolly is on in the pic. By screwing the pegs in by hand they held, and I have fished that swim a few times. It is in softer ground that I have problems, and wish for longer pegs. The wind loosens the pegs and pulls them free. Oh yes, think I paid £8 for 10 of these pegs, complete in a decent individualised carry pouch.

And a significantly higher catch rate lol.....
