Hi all. Does anyone have this brolly? I know it has two positions for the main pole (center and to the back) but does it have the ability to tilt in a traditional sense?
Ive had trouble with the knuckle system,it seems/or can loosen with use,which means in a wind it moves around,this is in all manufacturers,the centre spike unscrewing is ok,but worrying to wrestle with in a gale,imo the best system was the one where the pole had a rivet through it acting as a hinge with a length of aluminium tube which slid up allowing the tilt to operate,you dont see them these days...
just to add,I have two of the Korum brollies you mention,the first I repaired with stainless steel locking wire as the rubbish galvanised wire rusted through,a pig of a job,but it got me through till my replacement arrived and still sits awaiting call out,lol. These brollies are among the best imo and last as well as any ive bought,considering some of the conditions I fish in,a compliment indeed...
