Was in Johnson Ross today and the issue is with the join/thread on the pole, emailed Korda who told me it has been discontinued. Shame as I used one at Gigantica and liked it, I am currently making my own using an old landing net pole and a ‘crook’ purchased from the tackle box.

I've got one. Not heard anything about a recall and can't see why either? It is a pole that screws together with a spike at one end and a Carabiner at the other...

That's a bit poor from Korda as I contacted numerous retailers as really wanted one and all of them were waiting on stock, no mention of a recall or any issues (this was beginning to middle of last year).
Edit end of year as initially told discontinued until this thread popped up when I called back around, losing track of time as I get older!

In reality there should be quite a lot of recalls in the tackle industry as quite a lot of it is not fit for purpose but they never recall anything as they couldnt care less

There is a new one in development,they were not happy with the original version.They did do a recall on them,you could return them and get a full refund if you wanted.I only found out a few weeks ago about it in my local shop

Will these ever be back in stock or are they releasing new one?
|
|

I was also searching for one of these as I was impressed when I seen one on the bank but as previously said they're nowhere to be found other than the odd one popping up on eBay for ridiculous sums.
Well sent an email to korda who never replied after a few weeks, however I called them and the original compac weigh staff is discontinued but new improved version currently going through testing at the moment and expected to be released later in the year or early next year.

I've got one of these, they are nice bits of kit but even the £60 was hard to justify, let alone these prices 
They are solid and do the job well (quite heavy though), good for stashing in a shorter holdall.
£245 all in, absolute madness!!!

Why would someone want a weigh staff that comes in 2 pieces.

Who told you that? I've asked multiple shops and they've all been told no longer available, if other people are also being told this then it's probably why probably the eBay price is so extortionate

No idea why it was discontinued as I really wanted one, never going to pay that kind of price though, I'll stick with using my landing net pole if needed! Crazy money

Afternoon all, has anyone seen the Korda compac weigh staff on e bay
Yes it's brand new and also been discontinued
But it has 34 watching, 39 bids and with 4 hours to go sits at £206.01 !!!!
Crazy price. Why did Korda discontinue this product, there is obviously a demand for it
