Has anyone seen the new Trakker bivvy ?
I have tried to get some information but have almost given up trying. I know they are making them but I don't know anyone stocking them locally so that I can have a look.

------------------

Saw an advert for them in CW (I think) Bennets stocking them at moment.
They look the part dont they?

I haven't seen one yet Mark but I am trying to get some more information on them.

Last time I went into the Carp Cabin about 3 weks ago, they said they would have them in the new year, so maybe they've got them in ?

They do look the business yes, but for the same sort of money you can have a real aqua products one instead. After all it was one of the Aqua guys who worked with Tracker to design the bivvy anyway.

Aqua ones are the nuts !!!!!

I own both the Armadillo and the 60inch brolly

Would recomend both...

Bit pricey but then so is the nash and fox gear, but there is no comparison with quality.

Sorry to change the thread a little,
but two guys here recommending Aqua products.
Posted a thread about the Aqua rod slings a few days ago but no answer.
Do either of you guys know about them, or have you even seen them.........
any help please..............as the advert says........"every little helps".

Cheers

I did see your question Miller, but I have no experience of the rod slings I'm afraid.

Put it this way though, I've never seen a bad bit of Aqua kit yet, in fact all Iv'e seen is the best, and there's plenty of people out there to back me up on that. You get what you pay for with there products.

Neil

I must admit that the Armadilo looks good and I have only heard good thing's about it. However, I like to see things before I part with my cash and this is nearly impossible with the likes of Aqua and Co. as there are few retail outlets, if any. It is the mass produced products that we can look at and so far I don't like any of them.

I have a four rod sling with the rod cover, very good kit as is the 50 brolley and the bed chair cover I have.

One thing I did do was send it back for the actual carrying handle to be moved to give better balance. Apart from that no problems.

Aqua gear has the Stumpy seal of approval and no I don't get a discount or anything like that just recommending quality kit to fellow posters

I'll second that,
I've had my Aqua bedchair cover since they first came out and it is still like new, unlike the original fox one that frayed and sagged.
My mates have the original and new version of their dome, top notch and doesn't budge in the wind.

The unhooking mat is great too, fish just sink into it and lay there, its like the comfiest duvet you can think of!!!!!!!

Thanks for the replies.

Stumpy,
The 4 rod sling is the one i'm looking at buying. Where is the carry handle?
If it needs changing i may as well get it done before i buy it.
Thanks again,

Miller.

sorry for the delayed reply I've been fishing and working not surfin much.

I've emailed you direct with info.

Miller,
Go for the Aqua 5 rod sling and not the 4 rod if you have pit reels,it`s that bit wider and you can use the 5th slot for landing net & pole,it will hold brolly and full sides.
Chris Middleton does them with a throw over hood to cover the rod tips or it can take the new rods sleeves that somehow fit both 12` or 13` rods (i haven`t worked that one out)
I have a 5 rod with hood for sale + 4 reel pouchs if your interested,yours for £30, condition is very good.(see pic from 98)

Kevin,
Thanks for the reply, and i'll bear your comments in mind re the 5 rod version.
As it will be a present i'll go for a new one but thanks anyway.

Miller.
