THe roller was very good, but the topkit flight box, along with the zip bag for your meat cutter and bag for your boots were not imho. The flight box was heavy and smacked of someone having sat in a dark room with a box of tissues and knocked it out. It will no doubt appeal to the tackle tarts. The interchangeable feeders were good and no doubt they will spawn more clones.

The show was spacious with enough capacity for another show….from a trade point of view I guess it had the right amount of suppliers, from an anglers perspective I don’t think there were quantum leaps of innovation on show.

I must say the show in general was very good and from a personal point of veiw i opened a couple of new accounts with companies that had some good products.
As for new products there was a couple of stand out companies Prestons and MAP in my opinion leading the way.
There was a few other products that stood out like the new feeder from Nisa which incorporates a small PVA bag.
Marukyu have now brought out a new concentrated Krill in liquid form and a new paste that will coming out soon which looks very good and some 10mm JPz samples were shown allthough not available just yet, release date to be confirmed as testing is still ongoing.
A few show deals which allways helps.
All in all a good show and i think a lot better than last years.

I agree the show was interesting but little innovation.

The flight case top kit holder from MAP was clever but way to heavy to make it usable for most people.

Marukyu was good, as was the boil in the bag ready meals aimed at carpers but very interesting guys on the stand and the girls…!!
