elmoputney 3,781 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 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 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 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 Its-grim-up-north and The_Viking_Angler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Viking_Angler 139 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 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 commonly and finchey 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
