Re: Looking for advice on buying a Bivvy

I have a Fox Royale Classic that I use for carp fishing and its been great. I must admit I don't know what its like at Birds Meadow but I have fished the Severn at Ripple and I would struggle to get it and the rods on the platforms there. Whichever one you go for two pieces of advice.
1) Look at the dimensions of the shelter compared to where your fishing and your kit (bedchair etc).
2) Test it in the back garden both going up and dismantling if you've never had one before.

I would definitely do a recce of the banks first and take a tape measure. Good Luck

Re: Looking for advice on buying a Bivvy

Have a look at the Sonik SKTec bivvy, I did a lot of research into budget bivvies for overnighters on the Tidal Trent, and chose this one. Can't fault it for the money, a quality bit of kit! There's a few videos on youtubesmiling
