I've just ordered a chair from them, I'll reply when it arrives!

 

They cashed my cheque of 25/3 so it should be pretty soon now

Hi Saskcarp

 

Badger promote it's tackle as being cheap, although cheap does not always mean rubbish. I've had a few items from them in the past, some good, some not so good.

 

Their chairs are strong and robust with pretty good quality, so i'd imagine the same with the bedchairs. You should expect them to be on the heavy side as they utilise steel instead of aluminium.

 

The luggage i've used before were all pretty good so good value there.

 

Alas there have been some poor products, ie: rod pods, which I couldn't recomend. Also I wouldn't have to much confidence in their bait.

 

Couldn't comment on their rods as i've never seen or used any.

Tackle reviews of Badger tackle have been mixed as far as I can remember.

However, IYCF recommended it's carp pole in it's "Best for under £300" comparison article of a few months back

The poles are excellent value for money,some of the reels ie,the baitrunners are also good value.

Unfortunately some of the luggage tends to raise an eyebrow along with some of the seats and bedchairs,because the stitching tends to be a bit weak.

The problem with Badger tackle, especially the reels, is that they will never be taken seriously as long as they persist in plastering them with that naff, tasteless and unwanted lettering. You might have thought that they would have learned the lesson from looking at Shakepeare tackle; seemingly designed by colour blind primary school children with wax crayons, and guaranteed to make a laughing stock of anyone using it. On second thoughts though, if Des Taylor promotes it...
