Who still uses a brolly for day sessions, and if so what size and what make? I am looking for a really robust brolly to replace a 50" Korum that was destroyed today.

I actually think that the larger brollies are more susceptible to wind damage than the smaller ones?

Can anyone recommend a tough brolly?

Thanks

Not sure what type of fishing you do mate, but here goes.

Firstly I rarely use one when river fishing, relying on good wet/cold weather gear instead, but when I do take one on the river, it's a cheap and cheerful basic 45inch nylon job that you get from argos or wherever! The thing is, it's light and keeps the worst off. I only take it when I know the weather will be horrendous, today for example I never took it!

On a stillwater if am fishing static, same choice as above unless I'm staying longer then I have a 50 inch wavelock, with storm poles if need be, heavy but more comfy if it slashes down.

Overnighter I have a fox brolly/bivvy thingeo!

I have the Korum 50" brolly but I only use it in a monsoon

With EC on this, a cheapo 45 in. But put storm poles on it on days like yesterday.

Hi

I also use a cheap 45inch Nylon one for most of my needs, and its mainly used to keep water out of my tackle boxes rather than water off of me. I also have a 60 inch Oval brollie as well if it gets too bad, although its never actualy been out of its bag yet.

This is the one I use: Korum Shelters and Umbrellas

Scroll down to the 3rd from the Top, it is the Korum Stormshield Umbrella.

It is not the lightest on the market and not the cheapest but I think it is the best unless you go for the Trakker.

Hope this helps.
