No,use Solar sticks and Fox Net, but reading The Big Interview in this months Carp World, his gear is well thought of, plus, he's been making carp gear for 30 years so something must be right , and being honest, I'd never heard of either him or his product till now, where does he advertise , or is it ALL word of mouth by satisfide customers.....ABSOLUTLEY THE BEST ADVERTISING THERE IS

why don`t you buy a pod instead of trying to smash your banksticks into rock hard banks and putting every fish in the lake on edge

I'll 2nd that, the ally pods are light as well, ideal for the long haul, I do use a pod occasionally, but if you're like me and prefer sticks have a look at the Chub storm poles.
They do an all in brolly with zip infill, light and heavy ground sheets and 16 pegs, £129.00, anyway, there are 2 pairs of poles, long and short and the best thing is they are fitted with a screw, none of that bashing them in , they screw in. Dont what the damage is as stand alone poles but well worth looking at,and, cheaper than a pod \:\)

Have a look at the dymag stuff. Well made sturdy and light (carbon). The tripod adapters allow you to stand on hard pegs. So you can have individual bankstick placement, single, double or free standing 3 rod set-up. All bases covered. Not cheap though

Or you could just stop trying to seek out the latest 'cult' supplier of carp sh111t thats cool to be seen on the bank with and buy four or six bog standard fox banksticks which are more than up to the job without being a mallet weilding prick on the bank...

No doubt you'll have the latest ultra cult must-be-seen-with-on-the-bank fancy over priced bobbins that only a handful of 'in crowd' anglers have heard of...won't you just be the talk of the water....

How did they cope years ago using three rods without all these ultracu*t buzz bar/bankstick companies supplying banksticks that simply went into the ground....

Smell the coffee that is reality man...

It's just a pity that Chris Brown's gear has been around for donkeys then isn't it, hardly what you'd call the latest ultracult gear when I recall his adverts in carpworld from at least 10 years ago \:D

His nets have a good rep and I vaguely recall an article or something a fair while back when I used to buy mags (I think by Tim Paisley) mentioning the buzzbars and rating them. They looked sturdy enough anyway from the photo.

my local is near on a half a mile walk from the road over rough ground lightweight is whats needed bad back an all, fox banksticks (even tho i asked bout buzzer bars but did ask bout smashing through hardground) are alright but ive gone through more then i care to remember. As for pods i wont use one as i like my rods to be pointed at my baits its a cult thing you see in the mags ;\)

Still using monkey climbers, bottle tops and balance a coin on the spool, to drop in a tin, so you know you have a run at night then? now YOU ARE an Ultra carper anyway, as Filthy Animal says, HOW can Chris Brown be Ultra Cult when he has'nt been heard of for years
