£40 on a Korum Super Strong landing net pole eight years ago. I know it’s not the lightest, but it’s slim, stiff and very strong. The only downside is I wish I’d bought a spare one!

Not me, and not £50, but I had a walk round a carp lake last summer when there was a match on.

There was a very impressive selection of kit on display. Top of the range poles and boxes.Roosts with multiple top kits and rods etc etc.

I remember saying to my mate ” There’s tens of thousands of pounds worth of kit on display and I haven’t seen one catapult…”

Preston shuttle superb bit of kit, used once £50 off of ebay 😀 😀 😀 😀

[TF_moto46]

for me it would have to be a Maver Reactorlite 13′ Power Match rod for a bargain £50 it was in near new condition. Nothing suspicious as collected from the guys home and he wasnt short of a few quid!! Well chuffed with it 🙂

Drennan red range 9 ft 6 tip rod or the drennan fd 3000 reel

Shakespeare Superteam landing net handle .. bomb proof. Small spomb just brilliant in a cross wind and can be used on a normal uprated feeder rod.

Boss double roller bought in 1999 worth every penny, I tried to replace it with a Preston One in 2008 and some plastic bit snapped on the Preston leg and rendered it useless the Boss roller was dug out of the shed .

I agree with that, one of mine is a year or two older and still going strong! Don’t however go and buy the new version since the patent was bought out. Nowhere near as solid, and in weeks I had to replace the pins holding the vertical rollers as they’d snapped, the legs are much flimsier, the screws are much poorer quality than the original Boss one. Oh, and the new one (one year old) has more rust on it than my fourteen year old one! Totally made on the cheap and not Boss quality.

Fox Platform Barrow for £45 – don’t know how I managed without it

2 x Garbolino Carp Picker rods – 1 x 9ft, 1 x 10ft. Great on commercials.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I’ve been asking about platforms recently and there are also a lot of plaudits for the Preston one (the four wheel job). Have you tried/looked at both?

1. £1.80 on a packet of series 18’s for pole fishing on the river – hook pulls no more.
2. £30 on a Daiwa hardcase to give me 20 mins extra set up time.
3. ?? p the phone call to my partner in crime (TNB) to ‘encourage’ him to get back on the river.

Octopus leg system and footplate. Probably saved my back. Sealskin socks may not count as tackle but keep me on the bank.
