Suddenly there are new essentials I didnt know I even needed. ND are innovating for sure, clever stuff or what. I love the shrink tube heater. You cant use a flame near a hooklink material and they even make hooks brittle. I try turning a lighter upside down to heat the metal cap on it, use that....but its not clever and potentially dangerous too. With that ceramic heater problem solved. Plus so much easier knocking up rigs at home without boiling a kettle!!
Been using the magnet adapters for about a year. They sit solid and ain’t going nowhere!! You have to pull directly upwards with quite some force to release em. My only complaint is they don’t sit 100% snug, so the alarm rocks very very slightly L-R and hence doesn’t sit truely vertical either. Not a big deal but spoils the optic a bit. Not good for tackle tarts 😉
I've got x2 of the USB lights and run them off a power-bank fitted to the underside of a bivvy table. Use hardly any power and are bright enough for cooking and rig-tying. Well worth the money.
The magnets look really good and you can tell they are strong. I have a Snap Mount Pro for my GoPro and they are made with the most powerful N-52 rare earth magnets which are 10 X stronger than traditional ceramic magnets. I also love the bivvy light and that alarm thread screw plate is brilliant because as you say the rubber O Ring Gromit’s either degrade or still leave the alarm slightly loose and at a weird angle.
had the magnetic butt grips from ND. Not even good enough to warrant giving them a test run on a session. Binned them. Buy cheap...buy twice. From my experience, ND is noddy tackle.
The ND butt grips are absolute crap. Nearly lost a rod when catfishing with them. Gave mine away and bought proper grips from Nash. And the similar quick-release magnets, although even stronger, I don't want them sat under my Delks for a long time thanks, or even in the same storage box. ND's little cup things to keep the cork rod butt ends clean are a reasonable idea though. Hardly essential, but I like the idea. The rest of this stuff is overpriced junk though. Doesn't mean it won't sell!
I've used the butt grips for years and find them a brilliant bit of kit. Yes there's a bit of a knack to them when lifting them off your stick and if on a pod, you need it held down or you risk lifting the whole pod up when you lift a rod. I've since got the magnetic front bits for my alarms as I have the N1s (which already have the magnets) as well as a set of s9s so it's mega quick to swap them over. Love the ND gear but the website is absolutely shocking to navigate.
☝🧐With the USB light you definitely need a power bank that has a "low power mode", otherwise every other power bank will switch off after a few minutes!!!
USB light for their table they don't have any batteries for.... had mine 3 months trying to get a battery. Emailed ND 3 times ignored my emails get FKd ND tackle.
Bit harsh, but nowadays I'm inclined to agree. I used to place Chinesium unbranded crap at the bottom of the table, with NGT just above it. Nowadays NGT have moved up 1 position with ND in second from last place. Half the quality of NGT but twice the price.
How on earth did we catch Carp 40 years ago. 😂😂

Rod cups are a great idea for cork handles. I’ve used them for well over a year. 👍from me.
Agreed, they are the most sensible item from ND in this promo. Hate having to clean the mud off when you put them back on the pod and spot it!
Love or Hate ND the pricing is right some others should take note.
Is this to promote amazon
Would be a great asset on my featureless clay coloured water
I don't think I'd trust my bite alarm on that magnet 😂 nobody would have a problem with them APART from me.
They’re good. Mega strong magnets.
Honestly those magnets aren't normal. They are very tough. They aren't coming off in normal fishing conditions at all. I was shocked!
Nice one for letting me know. I might try them afterall! Just had visions of me standing there without a bite alarm like "KNEW IT" 😆

100% NOT
The locking rings are well worth the money
decent value
Didn't this used to be a fishing channel
The most non essential, essential stuff I have ever seen. Whatever next, the ridge monkey sauna infill

ahhh! Is that why my charger stops charging my skullcandy in ear headphones?
Same problem here, used for 3 years and if you plug to a normal power bank is ok, if you plug directly to ND table it went off after 30s....
Love ND
USB light for their table they don't have any batteries for.... had mine 3 months trying to get a battery. Emailed ND 3 times ignored my emails get FKd ND tackle.
I’ve got a cheap-ass one off Amazon. It lasts ages.
Buzzers on magnets?.... Tackle thieves delight.
How will they know?!! 😂
Don’t like rods with cork handles
Nerd magnets
I hate it when someone comes into my swim and puts their butt into my cup….
Happens all the time!
More crap you don't actually need lol
😂
Dont trust anything from nd

I am gullible enough to risk a tenner on those 4 bivvy peg cups though for one very muddy venue I frequent....
I just have one question! How long does it take to grow a beard like that? 😄😁
5 useless items
Ment to catch you not fish.
Essential?? Load of crap
