elmoputney Posted November 29, 2020 Report Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Has anyone got a bank bug scooop? I think a tenner +postage seems pricey for what is essentially a scoop, but it does look a good invention, I know getting bits stuck in the front of my spomb drives me mental, it just looks like it would take the annoyance out of spombing 😁 https://www.bankbug.co.uk/key-products/scooop/ Edited November 29, 2020 by elmoputney Quote

I don't know if I could justify the cost either but I wouldn't mind a scoop that does a similarly good job, I do like a mucky spod mix and usually my spod rod and reel seem to end up wearing it also 😂 Quote
elmoputney Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Posted November 30, 2020 Having thought about this a little more 😂 I bet a nice metal cooking spoon would be about right for this job 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄 Quote
bluelabel Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 This is one of the reasons that the tackle trade gets right on my thunga's... items like this is nothing but rank profiteering... Get down yer local pet shop and get one fer a 10th of the price and give the tackle trade the finger for being so greedy salokcinnodrog 1 Quote

Get down yer local pet shop and get one fer a 10th of the price and give the tackle trade the finger for being so greedy Sometimes though there is a good reason for something thiugh, I can really see the idea behind this, underloading or overloading a spomb can be a right pain, and getting bits in the nose can be annoying, this would actually make your spomb loads consistent, which would actually make you more accurate and probably quicker too, I do agree it's too expensive, but overall I think the idea is a good one 👍 Quote

bluelabel Posted December 1, 2020 Report Posted December 1, 2020 Tackle companies have a reputation for finding solutions to non existent problems and charging like a wounded Rhino for them... Preston Pellet wetter...? Trakker baccy pouch...? Guru water bucket on a string...? C'mon stop taking the pee with the overpriced tat salokcinnodrog 1 Quote

Preston Pellet wetter...? Trakker baccy pouch...? Guru water bucket on a string...? C'mon stop taking the pee with the overpriced tat I'm royally peed off with the price of big tackle items, do not get me started on bivvys and barrows charging more for a nylon bivvy than what you can get a true all weather tent that is extremely strong windproof and insulated. Then you have a 500 £ bivvy that doesn't even come complete, 400 quid would be a fair price for the Titan with all the bits. As for the price of the three wheeled barrows with motor I would love one, but I could buy two road worthy motors with MOT on for the same money how is that even possible, just shows demand dictates the price and not value for money.

bluelabel Posted December 1, 2020 Report Posted December 1, 2020 S'called Carp Tax mate... I won't buy anymore fishing clothing.... it's well overpriced compared to places like Go-Outdoors or Decathlon, plenty of hi tech clothing for half the price of Carp gear ( just not green) Stoves.... £59 for a Trakker that's a rebranded Bulin (or some such) I got a cheap stove from Go that takes the aerosol cannisters... £7.99 years ago... its still going I looked at the Trakker Armo cookset in Angling Direct £42 (no I haven't got anything against them despite the examples) and bought one for a 3rd of the price in Go.... all the firms are the same.... have a look at the gear you want then have a look at the cheap and cheerful stuff from China... its the same gear with a different name.... I wanted a new kettle.... Go... £3.... Nash... £20.99 People moan about the demise of local tackle shops but when tackle manufacturers post prices like this it's not hard to see your average angler saying "B****r that" and going somewhere cheaper.... I'll buy second hand or cheap stuff and look after it and save a fortune in the process... Scoobycue, ..., Carpbell_ll and 1 other 4 Quote
