this is the sort of thing that really boils my pee (said in context) there are loads of examples like this in the angling/camping world.... and to my mind the carping tackle manufacturers need a damn good kick up the chuff and told to stop being a bunch of thieving knobs.... one thing that made me laugh was the £10 baccy pouch from Diem..... a solution to a problem that doesn't exist... as with a lot of stuff from manufacturers.... as for the £7 bore tool.....??? I use a pen knife.. cost me nowt as it was me dad's pipe cleaning knife... bait drill...? I use a drill bit... bait table...?? Gelert table from Go... £6.99... instead of £18 at AD... with loads of stuff you can save a fortune just by looking in your local camping shop or pound shop... bungee's for your barrow.... £1 in The Pound Shop... Spam £1 from the same shop Sweetcorn 4 pack for a quid.... look around you'll find loads of options to Tackle Manufacturers rip off's

Only to a point , Nike don't rebadge primark trainers . I do totally agree with your 2nd point though .

Nike make trainers that sell for over £100. Primary sell trainers for a fiver. Buy what you want, or don’t. It’s that simple.

what about this one then https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/aqua-black-series-rig-tying-tray

The nasty/evil way - pierced them straight through🤢

As per my 1st post,Nige. Not for me personally I’m too much of a skinflint but Dave who came Horseshoe with me likes his carp bling and he’d get one of them,and who are we to say what people spend there coin on.

Love that - The Toxic Maggot, sounds like the contents of my underpants! and a banging idea 👍

That’s the thing mate..... speak to someone who has actually used them and had experience of them😎

LOL - I used snail meat out the cans, stuffed it into a real shell with a cork ball in. Took forever, the shells are so fragile, anyway it looked banging, I had found the holy grail No bites not a sniff - useless!!! As Yonny says maggots and worms lol

When they released the black ops it was advertised as "a stripped out ultra light Special Forces edition". They've changed it now so it says what they actually are but I remember thinking how only a 9 yr old could possibly be intrigued by them.

Not sure if its possible ,but you really need to handle some to compare them . I've always found rods a personal thing although it does look like you had already made your mind up before asking the question .

HAHA , look at the reviews they have actually sold some , the worlds gone mad , saying that my neighbour probably has one , he does two fully loaded barrow trips for a day session .

Don't get me started, £33 on a cushion when B&M or Argos can do a grey one for £5.

How did you attach the live ones mate.

I've used live ones, dead ones, dried ones....... I've done lots of experimenting with naturals. My advice to you is don't bother, stick to worms/maggots, infinitely more effective mate.
