InteraX Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago As the title says, what tackle brands do you miss that are either defunct or have refocused away from carp fishing. Personally, I miss the greys and chub stuff. They had some brilliant equipment and clothing. I know greys still have a small range left, but it seems like they're not really interested in anything except fly fishing these days.

yonny Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago It's shame MPE Tackle shut up shop on the bankware to focus on general engineering. Imo still the best gear there ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Chub made some brilliant unhooking mats. I still use one myself, it's easier to use than the Cabrio Monster Cradle mat I have. Sadly them, Greys and Hardy being bought up and combined under the Pure Fishing banner meant that the names are in existence, but almost defunct. North Western, a real rod maker, the first specific carp rods I bought that I could hit 100yards with ease, a pair of 2½lb and Abu Ultracast Cardinals, 8lb Platil or Sylcast and 20lb Amnesia and a 2½oz lead, and pike rods in the winter. Sadly stolen from my shed back in the 1990's. 4 hours ago, InteraX said: Personally, I miss the greys and chub stuff. They had some brilliant equipment and clothing.
