Hi
Can someone please recommend a brolly that lasts more than one session , I seem to be buying then at the rate of one a year , the latest one put the spokes through the cover when i put it up . and it's not a cheep brolly .

I bought a run of the mill green brolly years ago and its still going strong. I also have a Preston dri fish suit so if it gets too windy I put the brolly away. Maybe worth investing in a good set of winter gear so you dont need to rely on your brolly so much. Just make sure your bait is covered! Saw a couple of brollies inside out and going down the pool on a match at woodlands view a few weeks ago. I took mine down when the wind tried to put me into orbit!

i have a preston flatback had it for a while now and not had a problem with it

have you considered using a day shelter rather than a brolly? there are some fairly competitivly priced ones on the market we sell one on our site that has been popular with carpers. Top Fishing Tackle - Fishing Rods, Reels and Bait.
Good luck

Hi Billy
I need a brolly the shelters are very tempting but wont fit on most match pegs an I cant get a pole through the back .

gloves007uk · 5th January 2008, 06:23 PM

hey BigOlbear i have seen brollys with the two zips in them all you do is unzip one side so you can slide your pole in and out i think daiwa do one ?
not to sure and its also a flat back brolly as well so you just peg it in the floor

I have seen one called the brotel it has two zips on the back that open and is a hybrid of a brolly and a shelter i dont know anyone who sells them but im sure if you google it you will find what your after.I believe it also pegs down.

Apparently my mate reckons the brotel is now manufatured by leeda tackle.
