It’s silly season with new poles at the minute with loads of top end ones arriving. As expected, the silly comments have kept everyone amused. These are my favourites and the replies I’ve seen or wish I’d said (if I wasn’t so polite!).
Please nobody get upset - it’s just for fun!
🤡Too much money for a pole! Learn to cast and fish a rod like a real angler.
🎣My reply - I wouldn’t worry about it. Something tells me you could be given a £1 million pole and you’d still be useless.
🤡Mr Crabtree would be turning in his grave!
🎣My reply - you do realise Mr Crabtree is a fictional character don’t you? You might as well say that Mr Kipling doesn’t approve of modern cakes!
🤡Made in China for next to nowt.
🎣My reply - I’d import a few if I was you. You’ll make a killing! 👍🏻
🤡You can catch a fish on a stick out of the hedge the fish don't know the difference £ 6000 or £1 the end tackle presentation catches the fish
🎣My reply - ok, I’ll take you up on that challenge. My ‘stick’ vs yours mugging at Larford💪
🤡£6500…!!!
This industry is so f%%^*d…!!!
While idiots keeps buying them they’ll keep making them….!!!
Selling those I’d feel morally wrong…….
🎣My reply - I’ll put you down as a maybe 👍🏻
🤡New guru pole on the way same as the air tech but guru graphics on it i would put me house on it.
🎣Apollo Angling said 👏 - you’d lose your house!
🤡And the price is £££££££££££££
Out of probably 80% of fisherman’s price range
Why not make something that people can afford
🎣My reply - were you washing your hair when the Matchman, A-Class, Dura Carp, Red Range, Torque, Muscle-Tech, Power Edge, Margin Munter, 700 XS, Zombie Carp and Carp Fighter
🤡New graphics, same pole!
🎣My reply - definitely! Apart from being stiffer, lighter and stronger, it’s identical!
