dayvid Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Posted March 3, 2018 I agree £32 for 12 pegs , are their really suckers out their that will pay this , almost identical on EBay for around £10 Quote
cyborx Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 soft rubber grips 🤢 pushing them into hard ground and the steel peg is driven into your palm,,, it hurts Quote

B.C. Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 I've never bought new pegs........

Expand ive had the "metal goes all the way through" pegs and the plastic ends up sliding down the shaft ive had the cheapo nasty 50p pegs and gone through 20 in less than a year not all swims have soft ground and pegs need to be hammered in ive probably gone though 40 pegs in 3 years at a cost of over the £32 for the aqua pegs so if they are a better quality peg that would last a fair few years id be quids in Quote

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. yonny and ... 2 Quote
