    I think we're jumping to conclusions. He's just selling a load of gear. I don't think that gives us the right to start slating him.

    Imo that's the fault of the consumer, thick as you-know-what some of these people.

    New bed.

    My only concern with a nice warm bed is that I won't wear much so when I get a run during the night I will be freezing my beans off...

    bigger baits!

    I agree @harpz_31. Not only do big baits not prevent smaller fish, they'll give you less of a chance of hooking the older/wiser (hence bigger in most cases) fish too imo.

    bigger baits!

    not sure if any ones mentioned this but on 1 of the monster carp episodes they start using massive baits because they're being plagued by smaller carp but it doesn't work just like ive caught 1 1/2 lb roach on 16mm boilies your going to catch 5lb carp on 30mm boilies no problem

    every things the same now days, mobile phones, washing machines, sofas and even cars have financing designed so you can swap cars every 3 years were being conditioned into believing newer means better but the reality is we've gotten to a stage where were swapping an old piece of tat for a new piece of tat

    Fox armapoint hooks being a brilliant example. "Improved" them with the new range that blunt as they hit the water! One cast per hook. great way to shift a lot of product though.

    I agree on everything you said mate, except for the above quote. Some bits of kit end up worse than the original versions..... It really is "Emperors new clothing" mindset with all the marketing hype..... I've always said, look after any older kit as best you can... Can be difficult to replace like for like..... This is why we always hear sponsors saying "we must get more youngsters into the sport", IMO, there are very few people left that continue falling for the spiel, once bitten, twice shy. They need the youngsters to fall for their shiny ads..... As you say, just in time for Christmas...…. So called upgrades and new products used to be a generational thing, now it seems it's every six months.... When they say "We've spent loads of time developing and sourcing for this ground breaking "must have" bit of bankside kit", translate that into lay mans terms, equates to "We've found some other factory that will do it cheaper, so we changed it slightly"..... My mk2 Tracker rod sleeve I bought recently, is a cheap knock off of there first one, hence the grumpy old man rant...🤩
