The most over hyped product ever. The little chod box is good ;DI cant imagine anybody has bought one. Nashy has really upped his game in recent times with good quality stuff but this Im sorry is pants!

I quite like it, where I have my fox box full of bits, then lead bag, spod/marker tube, pva bag and finally rig wallet, I could get all my bits into one box, and I like the idea that it doubles as a table, I normally carry a barrow bag so I'm sure it would fit in there ok, but the price is taking the piss, if it was around the 40 quid mark then I'd get one, but never 70 quid, no way.

i suppose thats down to how individual people look after there kit riggy, this is a well put together piece of kit, but like anything new, people are wary at first expecially when that particular name doesnt get good press.
an example... i wouldnt ever of seen myself buying anything TFG but there new rods they have coming out really are the nutz, but until people use em and review em no will ever know, forums have more power of swaying peoples thoughts than people think, i would say be your own person, buy what you like the look of, and just because someone doesnt like it, doesnt mean its nuts ...

Very true. Actually if the Nash box had a place for a kettle I wouldnt need a rucksack ;D |

Spencer I can't beleive how little gear you take, is that because you know what rigs you wanna use and you nearly always stick to the same tried and tested methods that you have faith in so you don't feel the need to have varying bits and peices?
My fox box is overflowing, Maybe I need a sort out.

Yes I guess is the answer to that. 3 packs of hooks, 2 spare leads, stiff hooklink, leadcore,coated braid, double strength, zig float, spod and a few beads bait stops etc. The second AI bag is a spares one kept in the car, The stuff I use day in day out goes in one ;D I only lost one lead this year because a pike bit me off, the coooornt ;D

Hhhmmmmmmmmmmm, foot for thought there Spence, that really has made me think though, as I said my fox box is overflowing with gear, I'm gonna have a clear our, thanks for that Spencer, always nice to get a bit of inspiration from somewhere if you know what I mean.

Goodness me I wish I could cut back that much. If I'm honest I think it's a confidence thing. I like to have something to cover every eventuality & then some. Looking at Spencer's list has definitely got me thinking of what I really need to take. or more importantly leave in the car or at home. Spencer is obviously confident in his ability, rigs, baits etc. & has no need to take the kitchen sink like I do.
Thanks for the inspiration Spence.
