elmoputney 2,343 Report post Posted May 22 20 3oz fox camotex inline leads More Avid pin down leader I'm going to start using plastic hookbaits more often so I can have a bigger stockpile of ready tied pva bag rigs, Someone asked me to review the bank tackle bag stems, they work OK I found them to be a little shorter than the tadpole inserts which means you can only use small bags imo,they would be ok but I just prefer the fox tadpole set up with pindown leader and fox leads tbh, the lead acts as a Bolt rig but discharges well on a take, doesn't snag on anything so it's as safe as can be I think, the short length of leader will also take a bit of the sting out of the cast, so they work OK but I am happy using the fox set up, to me it's a lot better and it seems to work for me 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The screw it comes with could be bit bigger that that is easily replaced. I have 4 of the NGT stainless steel bank sticks which i have had and used quite a lot for about 4 years now and i haven't had a problem with them personally. What i do find with their stuff sometimes is that you can get bad batch of items which i think then gives them a bad name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The normal banksticks are OK it was the upright ones more than anything they had a weak join that just seems to break, and the quality of the threads, and I found the buzzer bar threads could be a bit hit and miss and they also moved a bit, probably just need retapping and they would be fine, for the money they are OK but I would be disappointed paying more for them 2 The_Viking_Angler and Its-grim-up-north reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Viking_Angler 138 Report post Posted May 24 Oex pot/pan set. Comes with 2 pots(1.4L &1.6L), a frying pan and some small plastic bowls and all packs up in itself. Getting a lil bit bored of the same stuff on the toastie maker each session so these will make the longer sessions a little bit more varied in terms of food choice 2 finchey and commonly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
