New Wychwood Specialist gear

[Nigel Whittingham]

Wychwood are (re) entering the ‘specialist’ market soon with some new luggage etc. Could be worth keeping an eye out for it and hopefully it will be well thought out gear and not just carp gear with a ‘specialist’ badge on it (although, what the difference is i cant decide )
My missus rolled her eyes as she already calls me ‘bagman’……(Drennan & Esp will take some beating for me)

Would love to see Wychwood return to former glory - still have some of their 90's 'System Select' luggage and although gathering dust its built to last . .

 

[Nigel Whittingham]

Yes i had a few bits as it was great quality along with a bit of stuff from ‘chub’ (i think) hopefully they have something new to offer with a quality to match. The carp luggage they do now is really heavy duty & good quality but doesnt seem to be quite right imho

 

[Chris Belcher]

Agree - Chub were another brand that produced quality products . . .had a folding chair and their original barrow that were indestructible!

 

[Jon Frisby]

Wychwood has always been very good honest gear... looking fwd to what they offer..

 

[Alan Palmer]

One of my favourite ever rucksacks was Wychwood, quality gear. Looks like Gardner will be expanding their specialist range with Martin bowler now onboard

My Wychwood rucksack is 40 years old and still going strong, I wish I was as indestructible.
G.T.

I returned to coarse fishing 14 yrs ago and bought a Chub Lo-Lite chair and it is still performing perfectly. I am now at the age where a chair with arms may aid getting up so I wonder if they will be doing seats when the relaunch.

The early barbel rods were excellent

 

[Edward Gilbert]

Yes. I remember the rapier range they brought out. Hopefully their new stuff will be as good.

My Wychwood Ultralite Recliner is still going strong. Must be about 21 years old, really well built and comfy, maybe too much! A little bulky, but it's light and easy to carry. If they were available I'd buy another.

I still have 2 of the barbel specialist rods I bought off you about 15 years ago (maybe longer). I actually used them tench fishing yesterday. One of the best £40 I've ever spent on fishing gear!

 

[Lewis Baldwin]

I've got 2 of the 1.5lb multi tip rods, exceptional rods for the money. I sold a pair of 1.75's years ago and still regret it.

I've also got a pair of 2.2lb/1.75lb Maximisers, brilliant rods.

I've always been of the opinion that the Wychwood barbel rods (all ranges) are amongst the best off the shelf rods on the market for value and quality.

 

[Edward Gilbert]

I wish I bought some years ago when they came out.

Recently purchased a few of the more recent range of Wychwood maximiser rods for longer range carp fishing, don’t do that much of that style of angling often, so didn’t want to spend a fortune. Off topic and species, but if anyone wants a long chuck rod the 12ft 9s Maximisers are fantastic rods for a £100 each.
