Hi guys Moving to Tisbury Wilts?Hants on Aug 1st Could any locals advise me on local Barbel waters I would be very grateful. Many thanks.Brian

They were in stock last week, give them a call.

Used em for years, work best if you connect them to a transformer then power that with a generator, long sessions job done!

Thanks for your quick reply Paul, never thought about the weight, which bag do you prefer?

I am thinking of investing in one of these and was wondering if any members used one, if so what is your opinion of it, which size would you recommend, I have the korum chair and find that very good, do the chair and bag work together as well as korum say, is it a comfortable combination to carry?
