hi lads
anyone ever brought any thing from this company?
well why would they sell a crap rod for £10 if there worth £100?
anyways i got a craptor rod from them just to see what it was like,and if i had spent £100 on it i would of been will ****.
i caught a 15lb mirror and after i brought the fish in it was in to pieces!i played the carp good as well.
at the bottom where the reel goes on,one of the tightners gave way which,
hopefully this was just a bad rod,as i few other items ive brought from there have been reasonable.
whats your reviews?

I've bought a few rods from them (as have a couple of fishing chums), and none has ever failed on me/us. Could just be a bad rod. Contact them and explain what happened, you never know what might happen

I have one of the Marco Cortesi Pin Reels and am very pleased with the quality, a lot of reel for a reasonable price. It's the only thing I have bought from them so can't comment on their other gear.

Interesting reading, this. I am doing some work with the guys at Dragon Carp and have a few bits here. The reel that Dales mentions is unreal for the price!
I've tried to gauge opinion of the range from others, but it's difficult to tell on the internet. You get some people slating the products, but when you ask them what exact item is was that they'd bought that was so bad, it usually transpires that they've never actually owned anything by them.
The tackle boxes have had some rave reviews, this one especially:

I reckon there must be some products that don't quite cut it in a range that size, with prices that cheap, but there are also, without doubt, some absolute gems!
