Was hoping to buy a new one but seems like they’re no longer available. Why do tackle companies discontinue making popular products? Anyone recommend something comparable?
Thanks

Still one fox brolly on above link according to web….drennan is a different design, there both good quality but your probably best to go and see one in a store if you can, Korum also do good brollies but again different styles suit different needs….there’s loads of pics and videos to demonstrate online
 
I have the Drennan 44” and really like it , I bought it for the tight swims I fish and works well without the centre pole and storm poles . I also have the Korum 50” which is obviously better where there's more room , I fitted the missing storm caps the Korum is missing
Not sure what the Fox brolly offers above these ?

I’ve got a fox specialist brolly but you need a quiver the size of Devon to accommodate it so went to the drennan 44” can’t fault it but also hear the korum one is very good

I argued this point with Fox, that they didn't produce a quiver that can accommodate it.
The Aqua one does 😀
