I bought a centerpin off Dragon carp last year, cost me £30 + p&p and it's simply fantastic and gets rave reviews by those that tested it. Strange think is it's the same pin that TFG used to sell for over a ton. Sometimes they do have reel bargins:|

I had a 25 pounder on their £12 pike rod. Definately a good starter rod. Very well built but doesn't have the casting ability and nice feel to a new rod.
The company fills a market for people starting out, skint or just for the kids.

anyone want to buy him out?? up for sale, the last to look at it were Sports Direct--- they turned away from it.
And please remember before you buy from him--- he sells pike gags, and despite both Alan and myself having a go at him he refuses to stop selling them while they are still legal

I also asked him to stop selling gags Kev,I'll not repeat what he said tho!
Above all, I would like to be remembered as a man who was selfless, who strove and worried so that others could share the glory,and who built up a family of people who could hold their heads up high and say 'We're Liverpool'.

I seem to recall being offended by his shouting at a tackle show once, he may have even had a rats tail which I find particularly vile.
I agree with what's been said, all Dragon gear is total and utter s***e.
In fact I am going to edit the thread title so it comes up better on Google

I bought a triangular specimen net from them about 15 years ago and its still going strong and has been great, but at the same time i bought a pair of carp rods, 2.5lb tc, and they were like rubber from tip to butt

Their store in Spalding was advertising all this stuff as half price and on sale, when in fact the price they were asking was the RRP. So IMO, totally misleading the customer. Of course not a lot happened as it would have meant someone getting off their a**e and investigating it. After a few emails I did finally get a response, but only to confirm they had received my complaint and would look into it. I never heard anything after that. What makes me laugh about Dragon is that most of their stock look like some one else's second hand junk. The staff in the store looked bored shitless too.when buying gear avoid dragon carp direct also known as used tackle
