Appreciate the numerous comments and even more so the engagement I’ve had direct with many of you here in recent times some who have commented below and I’m hoping to have much more as we grow and try our upmost to understand our audience and encourage new users to the brand and so it’s been great for me to reach out to so many of you here.
If anyone wants a chat direct on any thing related to the brand feel free to drop me a pm and I’ll respond and explain as opposed to clogging up the page or going off track
In regards to the pricing comment I won’t shy away from it
Many people aren’t truly aware of the costs associated with marketing and development and the true costs involved and how we price products some of which just weren’t accurate on the older pieces hence we’ve had to increase them due to a variety of factors but the main one is based on the cost to manufacture - more so than just incremental price rise in line with inflation
We’re determined to keep raising the bar and bringing new products to the fore that anglers and even non anglers want to use in hobbies and past times outside of fishing, we have some unique opportunities that we will be offering to our audience and we are also keen to encourage the next generation of consumer to the brand and so we are extremely excited for some of the upcoming products we have in the pipeline that cater for everyone that we will be launching soon.
We are also trying our best to raise the game with our marketing collateral and the content that’s available and the you tube comments I totally agree with as it’s a much more thorough platform to really show case our products more so than the website does currently and I myself hope to be working of some of the engagement here above sent a few of you my own very poor videos showing how I use my kit in the real world which seems to have gone down well so more to come
We do accept that we are a premium brand in a crowded market but stay true to our standards and are constantly evolving to be the best we can be backed up by best in class customer support.
Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback across the multiple posts up to this point it’s genuinely appreciated and I’ve loved engaging with the forum community

Love to use most of my Cotswold Aquarius bought luggage from the past years.
Did noticed the takeover of Cotwold Aquarius by Prolite Explorer. But also noticed the increased prices of the already expensive luggage. Just checked my in 2020 bought luggage directly from Cotswold Aquarius and the prices of several of these items increased by >52%. That's not just normal inflation in the inbetween years.
In the event of worn luggage will look for some alternative items.

I bought one and they are definitely padded but it wasnt for me so sent it back. Ive just bought the new RS 3 rod sleeve system though and that is spot on and really streamlined and well thought out. The new cool bag is in a total different league altogether over any other cool bag.

Chufty for you Rob, you turned me into a cotswold addict and I still have items I bought off you 10 years ago and they are still in incredible condition even the zips. that new rod bag looks tempting as I've just bought some new rods. Its hard to tell if the rod top sections are padded as I have single legged rings so think they need a bit more protection.
A bit of feedback for you: the older generation are not on the whole into tic Tok or instagram so maybe more YouTube video reviews would help to showcase the products

Hmm okay.
Thought the side ones might have had a little area to slip net into & sling the other side.
Would rather not have the bag with full pockets for everything

So are these the same concept as the Korda Divide system, that korda seemed to flog off cheap about a year ago?

They are just sleeves. Get the rh holdall if you want to attach a net etc. I had the new holdall when it first came out but it was for me as dont really like pockets, brolly holders etc.

Anywhere to clip net / sling to?
Rather than using a quiver for example

I had the old link sleeves. Love the stripped back simplicity of them but the reel pocket was huge on them. The new rs sleeves look like they have addresses all the original issues. They have a much more compact design and now clip together.
