The piece of tackle not invented yet...

[Dave]

We've all been there, need a whatsit or thingy to do a particular task but it's not been invented yet or no one makes them....

What bit of tackle do you need that's not been invented yet ?


I'd love a self levelling box, something akin to putting the box on a peg, pressing a button and all the legs adjust themselves to level the box instead of reaching across all four corners and a platform faffing about to get it level

A Dutch angler invented a self levelling box-platform

it was on U-tube a few years back and reported in some sections of the press

was quite a remarkable item using hydraulics for the adjustment but still remaining light enough to use

Can't think of anything but I wish more cars had front passenger seats that fold flat. I prefer smaller cars I have a ford Bmax and it does which makes it easy to fit all my match kit in, its surprising how much extra room it gives you I'm now ready for a change and am going to have by a bigger car than I really want.

myself Id like a bubble tent

something that you could erect above your box-seat-peg that kept you warm or cool depending on the season, and kept the rain off yet didnt get in the way like a brolley does

maybe a pnuematic type heater pump that threw a powerful cone of air above you

There might even already be one of these but a floating catapult would be great as I have lost count of the catapults that I have dropped into the water over the years only to see them sink like a stone

a comfortable lightweight chair with underseat storage, adjustable legs, a footplate and wheel system as an accessory

Lead with a wide angle camera looking towards hook/bait.
Could then watch nothing happening on my phone for 12 hours

Split shot that can be squeezed on by hand and depending on how hard you squeeze, will lock or can be moved without damaging the line.

Korda or ridge monkey guys will see this and come up with the goods (at a price).
Can it have a prefixed side tray included with a cup holder and matching cup!

 

[Nunachuk]

A self assembling fishing station.

Preston did one called the 360 with a swivelling chair... it cost a fortune (£230) and weighed a ton without a footplate... which cost another fortune (£89) and a wheel kit which cost ano.... (£90) well I think you get the picture

Addendum... the mega side tray fitted at £60

Like the now banned shot we used in 70s

An auto hook. this would be fitted with a micro chip long range fish sensor. It would be capable of sensing fish and moving the hook into the fishes mouth. And auto hooking it. I would never blank again.

Only match anglers are daft enough to pay near on £500.00 for a fishing chair!

I've got one Dave - Heledirn. Made by a Dutch company which unfortunately went bust last year.

Fantastic piece of kit: quick, easy and absolutely rock solid.

All the other side fittings are quick release too, similar release as bicycle wheels, so no knobs to tighten!

Especially for @warrington63 a pot of Preston Innovations paint.... one coat on the front of your house... Instant branding.

Self expanding expanda pellets.
Fire out as hard pellets and they expand when hitting water

A "Jaunting Belt" (google "The Tomorrow People") that takes you anywhere you want to go instantly
