      I’ve given it to a junior after I got the Supera, but my mate has the 9ft and 11ft Impax and loves them both, perfect commercial rods. To be honest I don’t think you will regret any of the rods you mention, budget gear has never been better. When I reviewed the Supera x which was 5x the price of the Impax the improvement was marginal.

    Hi Paul little update on my gilet had it on twice and it turns itself on to full heat after about 15 mins. Does it all the time whatever setting or even from the off position . I’d even say the heat is unbearable like a proper hot spot . Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with it .

    • @paulstacklereviews1695
      @paulstacklereviews1695 Місяць тому

      Sorry to hear that, annoying when things don’t work properly. It’s not a problem I’ve had. I’d suggest you try another power bank to make sure it’s not that (may be the power bank is turning itself on which makes the jacket work). It could be a poor connection, maybe lie it on the floor connected and leave it to see if it comes on, if it doesn’t it could be a bad connection which is affected by your movement when you wear it, if so back to the retailer. Let us all know how you get on.

    Looks too deep to me, which is a shame. If you haven't got long arms, then reaching down into a deep net isnt efficient and just feels so clumsy and have to bend down and rummage. The shallower the better for me, much faster to speed net and unhook. I have the madfish carbonair, and have had no problems with doubles in it. At the time, I weighed it, and did find the guru barbsafe is also comparatively light, there wasnt a lot in it.

    I haven't got any of the Matrix Quick release components apart from this clamp,but i was surprised on how tough the release mechanism is, like you said Paul hopefully it will loosen up as it gets used, its perfect for the Digital clicker
