elmoputney Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Bags are OK but actually the distance sticks the deluxe ones £12 are brilliant, they come with a 12ft cord FYI commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 As above, I have a bag that's lasted well. Tungsten putty is £1 cheaper than usual. Same with sinkers. Can't notice any difference. I've never used ready tied rigs. I'd suggest it's time to start tying your own, or buy from the the top brands I guess????? It's far more rewarding catching on your own rig imo. Good luck whatever you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVOID I've lost fish on a bad knot I've tied, or more correctly hadn't checked the rig after landing a 20lb fish on it and just recast the same rig. That's MY fault, I knew who to blame. I choose my own hooks, I use the right strength, pattern for the waters I fish. I know how strong they are, whether they open out, break or flex. Unless you are physically disabled tie your own rigs, that way you know what hook, the hook knot or swivel knot is good and even the length is right.

Couldn’t think of anything worse than loosing a fish on a hook tied by someone else I wouldn’t even let my best friend tie my knots and he’s an angler salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew kit bag is a useful lil bag I keep my camera and lights and powerbank type stuff in it. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bag cost me well under a £10er from lidl, or was it Aldi 🤔 @framey if you put both tackle box’s side by side theirs not much difference in them as you said the Korda feels nicer to the touch. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I got the ridgemonkey armoury, its a bit of a beast but it fits everything in there. Also doubles up as a bivvy table when I put it on a bucket 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm pretty satisfied, it's critical to choose a good supplier who can provide a good quality product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
