I’ve had a pair of Simms Goretex waist waders for over 15 years , still like new , wouldn't like to think what they cost now , but I’ve had my moneys worth , get what you pay for and all that .

The latest versions of Trigga / BFM should be renamed because they are not the same product they used to be , they are advertising under false pretences, any newcomer to the hobby is made to believe they are using the highly successful baits of 20/30 years ago and they are most definitely not ...

Like I said I’ve read from various sources and verbally that the original Trigga ingredient ie Trigerol is long gone and the German company who made it , Nutrabaits substitute for Trigerol is BAFs liver hydroslate , which I have in my bait cupboard but sadly I don’t have the Nutrabaits Trigga...

The problem is when bait companies insist the ingredients are the same from the original ones used back in the eighties/ nineties. Why don’t they just say a few things had to be changed because of unavailability / cost , instead of riding on the laurels of the old bait .

The one they sell in the shop right here is decent

From what I’ve read their latest version of Trigga is just BAFs Liver hydroslate The original German company that made Trigerol went out of business years ago .

Don’t forget the waste water after filter cleans etc is brilliant for the garden , a great fertiliser. We had a Koi pond back in the ninety’s , but could never get the Koi to grow , turned out to be too much iron in the tap water , got told (wrongly ) that good old Yorkshire Tap water would be...

Let’s face it that Solar chair isn’t really designed for river banks , it’s a session chair designed to be used sat outside your bivvy on a long session . The one I bought (above) does both and I’ve used it for both , it’s honestly one of the best items of tackle I’ve bought in the last few years .

What annoys me about Nutrabaits is the fact they still maintain that all the recipes are the same from the original recipes of Bill Cottams / Dave Moore etc But a lot of the ingredients are not available anymore , so how can they be the same ?

I’ve had all the Shimano 4000 baitrunners and the only pair I kept were the 4000 OCs , the Thunnus are a bit over kill for what we want , the D version is nice but a bit bling and more expensive than the OCs . The 4000 OC will do everything you want at a cheaper price . Plus easier to get hold...

Really impressed with my Solar South Westerly Pro Combi chair , packs flat not too heavy , good for river banks and lake swims and isn’t too pricey .

I recently spooled up with ESP Synchro in 15lb and can’t say I’ve noticed a difference , still a great dependable line in my experience

I’ve always used banksticks on the Trent , hate tripods and don’t even own one , haven’t come across any situation where I’ve needed one Korum screw in banksticks don’t move , don’t forget the plastic T bar you get with them , makes a solid set up in no time .
