Tried the No8s "Central Slots" by Ians Floats, I'm assuming they're the ones you're talking about and they're OK. I was happy with the Waterline ones but they're no longer available. Can't get on with the Grippa type.

In a time of ridiculous prices for fishing gear on the bay I was somewhat surprised to snap up a bargain today.
Two Shimano Rarenium 1000 spools were advertised at £20 for the pair, stupidly cheap imo, better still he was open to offers,I put a cheeky £17 bid in which he accepted!.
I don't really need them in all honesty, I already have two spools but with these I can ask a premium price for the reel and spools if and when I decide to sell them, they seem to go up in value year on year.

This time next year Rodders!You little speculator, you
Thanks step/through for that. I've ordered some too. The PI stuff is great, but when you buy a new container it looks like you're running out already. Someone's taking the Preston Innovation.
I doubt I'll ever end up with sets of gear for various types of fishing, all ready to go. I always end up switching stuff from bag A to box B etc. I looked around for a tackle box to cover fringe ( for me) methods like method feeder, pellet waggler and floater fishing, and found this NGT box that just fits nicely in the main part of an old Drennan rucksack. It's sturdy with good fittings to close, measures 24 x 21x 6 cms, and comes with moveable dividers and 4 bit boxes with different divisions. Given the inflated prices for simple plastic containers like bait boxes, I think you get a lot here for your £7.95.

I'd agree Kev . I have a good bit of their tackle all of it is robust , a decent quiver and a few tackle boxes , their thermal bait bag is great a nice size , I generally keep my sandwiches and drink in it in the summer.....................I haven't ever put bait in it.
Hi Ian, they do something they call a Lead Case - a padded fabric zip top case about 8"x 5"x 4" - which is perfect for reels up to 4000 size and for taking stuff when you just need a pocketful of bits and pieces with you. I do like their stuff.

I have 2 of those Kev and they are robust and work well. I have one in my box and one in a rucksack for my occasional river forays. I have always found NGT stuff to be great value and quality.

I have one very similar that came with a covered bivvy table I bought for when I take a chair, the one I have has a removable board for short 4" hooklengths. Also I can get 6 margin pole rigs in it along with feeders etc.
Bivvy table can be removed from cover it has extending legs. Its NGT paid about £35,also bought NGT small carryall for £14 ,again for when I travel light. But lashed out £39 for a Guru version for main feeder fishing,
Stanley do a Fat Max version for around ,£15. Which I found out about after bought Guru one.
Dear part is doubling up on feeders ,leads and links and quick change bead for both boxes.

Dont forget to check when Aldi do their fishing promos.
I bought a foil lined bait bag made by Crane, paid just over a tenner I think,and a small bad with external pockets and a zip around hard base for similar price. Put a top brand name on these and you could at least double the price,
Soft touch wind proof and shower proof jacket £20.

Have a look at the Cettire ad when it pops up.
A real bargain on there.
A pair of high top sock trainers at over a £1000
They must think us fishermen are made of money.

AD have browning sphere poles on offer and at near half price. The Sphere Gti, XL , Deluxe, 16 mètre with more top kits then you can imagine are reduced from an astronomical £4500 to an eye watering £2600 or so. Not for me but maybe of interest to Markcw.
A bit hasty Alan? We have to consider the £1,500 Guru Rive seatbox, the £700 Daiwa reel any any number of other contenders.
I took the bull by the horns and ordered some. Very good in use. No problems. I will order them again.
Edited.......Stotz substitutes by the way.. Ians Floats.
