Dicky123 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 I would like to see a "Stalking Umbrella" 35-40'' maximum size, with a good sharp spike pole. Light and made of quality materials. WHY? Well, in summer it's the odd heavy shower that catches me out. I don't take all my rain gear as most is winter orientated. So to be able to carry a small umbrella, light just to cover me and my chair would be great. Also the sun in summer, acting as a nice shade area over my head and arms. In winter I wear all my winter gear, quality stuff but still a heavy shower can get it all wet and heavy. A light brolly just to keep the odd shower off for an hour or so? Would one be of interest to you guys? How much, well I'd pay £50-£70 if the quality was good. I have tried taking a normal umbrella, but holding it all the time does not work, it needs a good lite spike.

You'd struggle big time imo mate, not good for distance. 24 minutes ago, oscsha said: I've got a dodgy shoulder I once did a France trip with 30 odd kg and my spot was 100+. Baited with the stick all week, absolutely destroyed me. I pulled my shoulder, blistered my hands, all sorts😫 I remember the shoulder got better weeks and weeks later and just as I thought it was sorted I climbed a tree on a local pit and pulled it again lol. elmoputney and jh92 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of research Into that, unless your boilies are all the correct size it would end up knackering the barrel pretty quick and also the noise would irritate people What I am thinking is a pva bag that has some water stored somebow that when it reaches near the spot releases and explodes the bag mid air, haven't got a clue how to make that happen though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, they only used it once though. Machali 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finchey Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I was using my throwing stick yesterday, I was really struggling to get 10yrd, then realised the boilie's weren't dropping down the tube properly, I was throwing boilie's that had been glugged and I thought some had stuck inside, so I tried washing out with some water, no better. So I gave it a good few bangs on the ground and the biggest slug I ever seen in my life fell out of the end. 😁😁😁 kevtaylor, oscsha, gazmc and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
