Has anyone had any trouble with badger gear?
i have recently spoke to many anglers while fishing and they say stay well away from the stuff!!
one angler said'cheap s**t'
i have a friend who had a set of 3 reels frm badger for christmas and has has to send them all back because the reels make a strange grinding noise.
he has had to pay postage of ?18 both ways.they will not replace the reels or give him his money back!!!
I recently spoke to chap on the bank who had a badger bedchair which has fallen apart th more he has used it!
i have had a badger landing net that has had to be replaced 3 times because of faults in the metal in the spreader block!!
My advise is to STAY CLEAR OF THE STUFF!

WHAT DO YOU LOT THINK?

John,
I've a mix on this one...
got 2 x bedchairs and normal chair...BRILL
also got 2man bivvy last year...it fell apart 2nd time out and had to stich it up to stay the session. Then the problems started, if you e-mail me offline i'll go into full details but don't wan't to get into a slanging match on the forum over Badger as there are links to the website..

if you have a legitimate moan then i hope they are watching and take note.
I must say, the things i bought my lad are spot on but as i said:legit moan = legit post.

i got the 2 rod carp set fom badger,when i opened it there was different reels thats was advetised and they were cheaper ones.
plus one of the buzzers had a bit broken off it one of the pods legs fall off and the same trouble as anthony with the bars.
badger is cheap but not great.You only get what you pay for

Sorry guy's, you get what you pay for. I've been down the Badger road of buying cheaply and in my opinion you will end up buying twice.

My honest reccomendation to any of you is get a firm idea of what you want and then look around for the best deal and quality that you can afford. If you still come back to badger then you've been warned.
