Any good Vik?

not a fan then Yonny? fully aware of the solar connection buddy, been following them info wise for 3 or so years now, but it is true that the name solar-carp was a derivative from the solar tackle brand, i find it strange that the bait voodoo is popping up again as unlike a hell of a lot of brands out their that charge massively for their baits Cherry carp not only list all ingredients for every boilie or pellet but explain why and how they included them. not trying to debunk any myths here, just trying to get an honest review from any one who may of used them. if i wanted trade gossip that is easy enough to find but honest answers are not just needs to be said tho, their company ethos is refreshing when compared with any of the larger rivals and as they dont seem to be in it to make a massive profit it does make you wonder about the bad boilie stories, why would they bother? they even state that the day their pricing structure is no longer required then that is the day that the company will fade into obscurity, that will be the day that the others stop the 300pc carp tax bracket,,,,,,ha ha that 'L' be the day as far as the ripping off comment, CS hooks £2.50 per 10 pack, Gardener mugga £4.50 per 10 pack, #8 swivels £4.99 per 30, Korda average £4.00 per 10, boilies £6.50 per Kilo, Nash average £10.00 and that average includes the budget range. looks like a rip off to me, tell me if i am wrong??

strangly enough, i have just come across this on Cherry Carp's web site..... " It’s a mad industry and the biggest difference between high quality camping products and high quality carp related products is about 300%!!!! " 😨 😨

messing about on t' net i was amazed to come across this, excerpt from Cherry's Q&A page. when asked "why do you sell you terminal tackle at half the price of all the others" this was the answer,, That’s exactly our point. Why do others sell them for over a Fiver? It’s a known fact there are only a handful of quality hook makers in the world and as resellers we all source them from the same available Providers! We don’t sell ours cheap in comparison to the available margins and still make a healthy ‘business standard’ profit. This, alongside terminal tackle is where rip off BRITAIN stands rife in the industry. If you honestly think you are getting a cracking deal for ten small bits of metal for a fiver then think on. We appreciate brand loyalty, we also respect brand confidence, but at some stage or another common sense should enter the mind of the angler who in turn should start to challenge what seems right and what seems wrong…surely.? The prices we charge for our terminal tackle and hooks etc is the show stopper for the trolls. When challenged “your bait is cheap so it must be [censored]” we refer them to the quality of our hooks or the suppleness of our tungsten tubing and on and on and on….That’s when the trolls fade and die. We don’t sell cheap bait and we don’t sell cheap terminal tackle…..it’s just priced correctly! If people are prepared to give away their hard earned cash in the belief that what they are using is superior then hey, what can we do? We can’t educate everyone and where we do not advertise in the publication world and carp comics it’s understandable the brain washing exists. Sad, but true! link here comments??

stoves are frequently the same for both but camping tax is a lot less

do you have a genuine reason for changing to ESP, did you previously use Cryogen and moved to mugga's for the barbless, are you unhappy with the mugga's? if the answer to all the above is yes then you have to at least try the cryogen hooks, if no then why change... sorry to answer a question with a barrage of questions

a quick goog brings this up, any good?

you will miss out on some classic captures chap, aside from your waters bite time stalking basking fish and freelining bread flake or mixer can and has paid dividends for most anglers in the past.

its interesting that they want you to step up the thickness, how the hell are they going to police that one. did the club give any reason for the change??

less than 4-5 mins in the bag

just fired them an email, will let you know. i have the earlier version and no overwrap but there is an inner skin. as i said previously it has been good for quite a few years (one of the first to hit the shops) and never had a problem.

takes you longer to get it out of the bag than to pop it up, literally have a look at this, the new style speedlite,,,

i have a TFG force 8 bivvy in my shed that i used for years, they pop up and down in a matter of seconds, built in ground sheet too. if you need to stay mobile you can pull 4 pegs and hit the catch and be moving in less than two mins. https://www.totalfishinggear.co.uk/buy.cfm/tfg-bivvies-and-brollies/tf-gear-force-8-bivvy/39/no/32802

batten? wots that bud?

soft rubber grips 🤢 pushing them into hard ground and the steel peg is driven into your palm,,, it hurts

if a company is prepared to invest their profits and protect it then nige would be correct in his assumption BUT, if not then its an open market for me.

thing is, if companies dont cover themselves with a patent they only have themselves to blame when cheaper 'rip offs come on the market.

personally i have absolutely zero sympathy for any big brand company who's gear is 'ripped off' by others, others who are ready and willing to bring the top end gear to market without 'ripping off' the very people who pay their wages. this tendency to add carp tax on everything carpy can only be blamed on the tackle tarts who insist on having 'named gear' imo and before anyone bangs on about quality of build etc,etc, just remember that for the most part these items will often follow each other off the production line with the only variation being the logo stitched or stamped onto them. nope!! the sole reason for the high prices is because there are people who will gladly pay it because they think it gives them kudos while they sit and blank.

mine arrived at about 7.30, opened it to find this
