Not the first, I have been selling camo reels to the trade for 12 months. The RRP for the reels I sell are £29.99.

At long last! A RealTw*t reel for all fans of RealTw*t camo. Bet the carp will be impressed. Well, they would be if they could see it.

How would you find it if you dropped it on the floor in the autumn?

silly money flying around!! surely nothing needs to be cmo when these carpers are all obsesed with distance?? contradictorary and blind to how much they are being scammed by these companies, however its the consumers fault not the companies, the compaies only supply for what is demanded and what will sell!!

I don't get this "anti" camo thing. It's just a bit of fashion, that's all, with no harm done. Do we all go around knocking people who wear different colour t-shirts than us? No.

 

A lot of people seem to think that carp anglers would choose a camo rod and reel for 'stealth' reasons. I don't think they do - it's just part of a sub-culture.

- Distinctive matt black finish

- 1the ES has the stylish looks and

- the Warrior Elite has a matt carbon finish with minimalist styling and black whippings for looks that match its performance.

- They feature lovely slim- lightweight- yet extremely powerful performance driven blanks- which give a very minimal; but modern look

- The cosmetics are subtle and understated featuring a matt grey blank, black whippings and a few gold tippings in all the right places. Don’t just take a look at the new prodigy, pick one up and see for yourself!

 

A few snippets from advert for various rods, carp, barbel, and others, have nothing to do with function but say volumes about what the magazines think is important to anglers. Given that, all this 'camo bashing' seems really strange to me. "The cosmetics are subtle and understated"has absolutely nothing to do with function but does have to so with anglers wanting their gear to look a certain way. Folks, camo is a way.

Real gimmicky BS

 

People will pay the extra though for that to impress their mates
