Best and Worst

[richk]

What are the 2 Best items of tackle you have ever bought and whats the worst. Here is mine

Best = Txi,s
Aqua 1 and Half Man dome

Worst = Viper Bitechs - A flys wings would set em off!
Nashy Profile it fell to bits in 6 months!

[Bl4cky]

best= trakker mpb brolly ( 8years old and still going strong)
daiwa emblem 5000z . (i adore these reels. i've got4!)

worst= nash neville solid state buzzers ( absolute gash and flogged after persisting with for 6months)
nash speed ruck box thing. (nothing wrong with the actual product, but just was a pointless purchase that i've used once and store gear in the garage at home in it now)

Best -

Armadillo, just can't fault it yet even after a few years use.

Gore-tex trousers from trans-world supplies, had 'em years and they are still waterproof, light and pack down to next to nothing. Take them on almost every session. And they are camo


Worst -

Nash 90 ltr stacksack. Needed a crane to lift it onto my back, then when I got it there the straps came away and the bag ended up on the floor behind me. First trip out as well.

13ft 2 1/4 tc Daiwa Whisker Kevlar carp rods. A few years ago now and to be fair the rods themselves were ok, just a stupid purchase really and they wouldn't fit into my holdall
We all have to learn the hard way sometimes

[Chesh]

Best -
3lb TC Greys prodigies - cant fault these rods at all
Nash Titan Pre 1998 - awesome peice of kit had it for 11 years for winter work and it superb

Worst

[steve hurst]

Best = Premier Aminos base mix, Aqua original Brolly system, Wychwood K2 rucksack, Stevie Neville FO stainless (see For Sale section...)

Worst = Korda ready tied leaders (what was I thinking of...), Kevin Nash outpoint hooks (anybody remember these...), Romart blow up unhooking mat....

Not done too badly over the years, buy right buy once is my motto.

Best - Evo brolly - a bit controversial given some people opinions but I rate them

Worst - starpoint hooks, MkI Swingers (with odd arm line retaining thing), gardner 'carp scaring' suspender, a load of The Biollix - never had a fish on it...most immediately recalled 'bad' purchases made well over a decade ago so I must be a bit more choosey and non believing of hype these days

[Stig]

Best.... Abu cardinal reels in early 80s retired them last year after over 20 years of abuse (dont make em like they used to ) used em for carp ,pike and in the sea never let me down had them serviced by Abu once and just cleaned and greased em about once a year or every other year
