Can't see the point in them, fished next to a guy fishing it last year, looked very awkward to use and didn't get the fish in any quicker - looks like another gimmick to get you to part with your cash to me!

John Merchant uses them Darran but knowing the Merch he made his own

Never used them but if you hook a big fish on soft laccy its got to be safer than handlining.

Definate advantage in the winter on commercials, or when smaller fish are the target, but with the chance of a lump or two.Not so handy, in my opinion, when it's carp or bust.

Interestingly, things are moving a step further, with guys drilling the side of their top-kits, glueing in a couple of P.T.F.E. bushes and pulling the elastic out of the side of the section.
