Why Korum, why?

Can I ask what legs you used for this tripod please ?

I got a Trakker tripod for the Wye last weekend and within 2-mins it had fallen over and washed all my bloody meat / pellet down the bloody river !!!

Oh dear me. Obviously not very stable or designed to go in the river.

Mine is just a knock up with storm poles and an adapter.
Here’s the thread but it has evolved a little since the original build

Mechano time!!!

Has anyone looked At Korums new product range yet coming soon. They’ve focused a lot on us float guys this time round with float boxes, more lines, meat cutters and something that caught my eye which was their tray tripod thing. Something like that I’d use a lot because I don’t particularly...

They look bulky graham but they are very good for taking a days worth and it’s only material so they ain’t heavy

I have 2 and they really knock the spots off conventional quivers for both convenience and protection of rods n lines

Open it up and everything is there to hand
Close it up and it’s all fully protected. None of this bank sticks in side pockets and pulling the brolley out the middle then reels clashing together on the walk back. It’s a brilliant bit of kit.

Is this the same but a two rod version?

Paul Thompson's mention of the Relum Brotel has reminded me I still have one. Got it off a friend some years ago but never used it myself and until the I had never even heard ofd them.

Yeah, thus is the one I got. I have the 3 rods as well but way too bulky for cycling

Well I picked one up. By far the best quiver/ light holdall I've had and I haven't even had it on the bank yet. Only thing I don't like is the carry handle seems strangely placed for the load distribution, perhaps I need to put a brolly in it or something. Off to give it a try and hopefully catch a long overdue barbel.
 
And my 3 rod version has just been delivered (thanks solely to this thread) first impressions - very good - just need rods and a decent centrepin now!

i agree , the balance is wrong for where the handle is , it’s like its top heavy, and i got a brolly in mine .

Is there not two possible points to fix the strap. A high and a low.
There is on the old transition one and it carry’s spot on

You'd like to think they would. I presume they're looking relatively closely 'below the line' on their Youtube, Facebook & Instagram accounts when posting about new products, etc.

They're missing a trick if they don't have people on the inside of forums (especially the creme de la creme which is BFW 😜). They'd definitely get much more constructive feedback and a decent grasp of what anglers want, rather than the knee jerk snap shots in the comments sections on social media.

OMC - Ali Hamidi's company is a laugh to follow on Instagram. Any new products are either received with complete vitriol or cringeworthy fanboys, with nothing seemingly in between! 😂

not for the single carry handle, for the strap i think there is .
on my old korum 5 rod quiver you can move the handle and the strap .
i’ll have a look when i’m home .

I’ve never got on with carrying stuff on the shoulder and the handle is useless on mine. I’ve shortened the shoulder strap as much as it will go and then just used that as the handle. Works nicely for me but might require a certain ground clearance.

That’s a shame that it’s not going to work for you.
The only thing i could suggest is, if you really like it otherwise. Put another handle on it in the correct place so it balances up with your stuff
