You need to think of what you want out of it?

i.e size when packed down, price range, size(size of the swims you fish),style pram hood, umbrella

[Guest WILF]

That brolly type system means you dont have to carry an extra bag, gos right in the quiver along with all you need for it..........I went over to it when I was fishing a bigger pit and didnt want to cart tons of gear around.

Its not a chore to move swims, its the way forward.

Its got me thinking of getting a new bivvy and its a choice between the nash double top professional(mk2) or the trakker areo lite.

 

I must admit im not a keen fan of them brolly systems.

 

 

 

Wilf what are them purple/red rods you got in the picture.

[Guest WILF]

Hello Airgunner,

 

The brolly systems are excellent, I have been out in some really awfull storms and never had a problem, fished winters in it......still good.

Belive it or not, that will take 2 bedchairs with ease.

 

The rods were built by Simpsons of Turnford on a blank they produced with Jim Gibbinson.........they were really nice.

I have sold them now and use Century SPs

 

I also have an original set of Maddocks KMDT,s also made by Simpsons.........I will never part with them, truly a classic...........I still use them to this day for surface fishing and stalking.........over 20 years old and still going strong.

 

Next week they will be seeing some Barbel with luck

I have decided I definitely need a new bivvy, one like yours looks perfect Wilf. Mine take ages to put up and take down which is a real pain.

 

Do you find that the camo sleeping bag stops the carp spooking when you are snoozy pops Wilf?
