Why do these manufacturers use those single jiggle sticks nowadays 

they do my head in
im just getting old I guess

It looks a bit different to mine, I have a single joy stick that controls all its movement, not sure if @Highy remote does the same, looks like it has buttons for moving 🤔

I quite like the single handed feature tho, can hold the rod and control the line going out with my finger and steer the boat at the same time lol

I treated myself to a carp life kettle last week, shame I've just run out of gas and forgot to pack a spare so cannot use it anymore 😂

Avid carp benchmark memory foam sleep system 🤙 so much better than my fox r2 bedchair and wychwood 5 season bahg, 10kg lighter as well 👍

So do I normally 😂

I've repacked my bag now I am home and put a new one in 👍

[elmoputney]

I've bought some NGT spod braid a korda SLR marker float and some korda marker elastic since I've been home. Any prizes for guessing what happened? 

 I hit my bait boat at about 20 wraps, I bet I couldn't do it again if I tried but that didn't do the damage. 

But what did the damage was when I went for the biggun and my aerlex bail arm decided to close by itself. It does this usually at least once a session, it's a silly bailarm. 

[Golden Paws]

Like the time I rocked up on Linear, went for the biggun only to forget I had the line clip set at 6 wraps from the last session!

I had a crack off yesterday, luckily it frapped up round a ring 🙄🙄

Reminds me of the time I was fishing a res, probably 20 or 30 miles away from a tackle shop and I cracked off my only spomb at the start of a session 🤣🤣

Just a quick update, this bedchair isn't suited to the larger angler. Its comfy but too small for my tubby ass. On the look out for a new system again 🤣🤣🤣

Have a look at the Solar Range. Probably not cheap, some are on discount as updates are due. I'm sure there is a sleep system.

I do have the basic Solar bedchair, and it's probably the most comfortable I have used.

I will have a look mate, I might be swapping it for a nash indulgence ss4 wide 5 season sleep system. It's 6cm wider than my fox r2 so should do me good 👍

I bought a solar bedchair it broke after one use absolute rubbish.  I had to replace it through AD for a sonik axs duralloy. Which I might add isn't a bad bedchair for the bigger boys. It's light, strong and I think rated to 160kg or something.

Luckily that wouldn't be on my spod rod and I have decent reels on my proper rods okuma 8k. The bail arms don't spring closed on those.

Strange, my Undercover has been fine, and it does get plenty of use, probably 10days out of every fortnight, and I have had it over a year.

 

Sonik on the other hand, everything I got has had problems. Sk-tec recliner chair with extending legs that won't stay extended, only good on a level bank, rods where the liners fall out of the rod rings. I won't entertain buying anything from them now.

I think they must've done a get stuff from China phase or something because I think I could have got a better one off wish the frame just bent it was awful, it had no rope the bed just fixed straight to the mattress. 

I agree some sonik stuff is pants didn't rate the reels at all and had one of their other bedchairs that didnt last,rods went soft quickly and th eye broke, however the axs bedchair is pretty decent so far, and my shelter is decent. 

My daughters use my old jrc cocoon that must be 20 years old and still going, they don't make em like they used too. 😂
