Don't get me wrong I do agree with you but maybe in 10 years time ngt may be developing there own products and doing all sorts of good stuff who knows they may not, but maybe one day they will be in a stronger position to develop and put something back into the sport they have made a crust from finchey and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korda designed both products, came up with the materials, determined how they could be made, designed tooling, and went through all the prototype phases. That is a process that takes many, many months and costs a hell of a lot. I know that because the company I work for design and manufacture products. What about the stoves that were mentioned on here a while back that were twice the price if they had a Trakker logo... there's lots of camping stuff that gets ripped off by tackle manufacturers and a hefty premium added to the price... swings and roundabouts Yonny... swings and roundabouts...👍😎 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree bud, re-branding is ripping people off, fact, but Korda don't do that (or if they do I can't think of an example). They appear to me to have principles which is why I find it odd that they are a target for so many outspoken anglers. Trakker, Aqua, Nash, all guilty of ripping people off..... Nash recently obtained the old Taska tungsten range of products. On the chod beads they halved the qty in the pack and nigh-on doubled the price. Now I understand the purpose of any business is ultimately to yield profit but that is taking the mick imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelabel Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yup... Tackle manufacturers are pretty good at making money... even the angling media take the pee out of employees too... when you think that Angling generates £3.7bn of commerce in this country it's not hard to see how... with fisheries, licences, employees, manufacturers, bait firms, charnel houses, etc.... and we as anglers pay for the privilege one way or another yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of fly patterns have been brought into carp fishing. Think of the first, low water Salmon, albeit they did need trimming and soldering, then the B175 for the bent hook rigs. Without bending them I still like the B175 for pop-up rigs, and an extended shank with silicon (not shrink) tubing. yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
