Strengths: Nice printing of TEAM DAIWA on the side, comes in black and very light weight.
Weaknesses: The frame is very badly constructed, The nylon cover allowed water in when raining, found even on light windy days brolly would collasp or blow inside out.
Overall: Total waste of time I brought 2 the first one the nylon cover was not stiched on properly, the cover fell off when i opened it. The 2nd the cover leaked when raining and when windy cover would blow inside out or the brolly would just collasp.
'Very disappointed - not up to Daiwa normal high standard'
Strengths: I liked the fact that it weighs next to nothing thereby making my rod bag more manageable after a hard days fishing on the Trent.
Weaknesses: The push button on the centre pole didn't work properly and the brolly kept collapsing. The frame is poorly constructed a sudden gust of wind and 3 of the frame legs snapped!
Overall: Its not an overly expensive brolly but I was expecting to get a much better brolly than the one I got. I only used it 3 times. It kept closing the first time and I thought maybe it was designed to close up in windy conditions rather than turn inside out. The 2nd time I overcame the closing problem with a jubilee clip. The final time I used it,it was absolutely chucking it down a sudden gust of wing caught an edge there was and almighty crack and the whole thing collapsed and I was soaked. I am unable to get it replaced by my tackle dealer so I'm out of pocket!
