IF i used such an item it would have a zzipy logo.....why not better logo than fladden or happy shopper
duno why people rip the sod about zzippys.....jealous they aint got one or 6 or cant use one i suppose.....my zziplex rod bells are still ringing strong after all the mahooooooosive fish this year and the zziplex NO SPLASH LEADS ARE GREAT ..........try em
the SHELTERS do look a cracking bit of kit but most places i fish and the way i fish just wouldnt be practical
could be of use at stennin though mark , and so easy to set up
gota be a winner !!!!! quality pays for itself over time

yes,was with Rob when we had a gander at one. The guy said his was an original prototype ...and that the ones coming out for sale would have thicker material. I have to say that the material on his was twice as thick as on me RT,also another great idea was that not only did it have a nice wide skirt on the outside for depositing shingle...it has an inner 6 inch seamed pocket all the way round the inside that you can add extra weight to as well. The top weight bearing frame was very sturdy,with a very strong central joint which the supporting bars came down from. The interior seemed cavanous,and will take this short asss laying down inside along with all the crud I take.....that said....some may not like all the extra space......and yes....all this extra strength does come at a cost....weight.!!!!
Id spend £100 squid on one....but only when my RT gives up the ghost.

I have received a message from the guy that constructs them in Ireland who tells me that they are bringing out some accessories for the Igloo soon which includes doors that can be attached...... no idea how........or when this is happening though.
