koala products

I have only just found this company and wondered if any members have used their tackle,i like the look of the tackle boxes but always prefer to read a review from someone who use the stuff rather than go by pictures alone.any feedback would be gratefully received.

Had a quick look on their website.... Not sure they are a tackle manufacturer, looks to be an outlet with UK premises/on-line tackle shop. Possibly a generic box with a koala label 'al la' Amstrad style?

I have been looking at a few of their shelters as Ive been given some amazon vouchers and wanted something fishy to spend it on.

Saw a 60' shelter brolly that looks simialr to the Daiwa overnighter, looks okay and then I saw this review

KOALA PRODUCTS 60" DLX OXFORD Oval Umbrella + Ground Sheet: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Zc3oivslL.@@AMEPARAM@@41Zc3oivslL

Not so much that the product broke more the very poor after sales service which would put me off. Not when I know that Daiwa's is excellent.

Their tacle boxes look like the stuff that guys at markets and car boot sales sell, cheap but still not worth it. I bought a similar looking rig board and it bends under minimal tension which is **** for keeping your rigs nice and straight.

I wont be buying any koala products. I think they will sell all the gear they have now and we wont see them around in a couple of years time.

Hope that helps.

I've got one of their large tackle boxes (well not theirs - dragon carp, Theseus and loads of others do the same one) and I'm quite happy with mine. It does exactly what I want it do, for the fraction of the cost of say, a fox one.

That said I did, briefly, have one of their seatbox-stool type things and it was heavy, badly made and badly designed. Awful.
