Masters of Niche. We sometimes feel the need to address problems in sports that are not always discussed. Making bespoke items that are out of the ordinary is in our veins. We like this and always try to assist all sports. Featured in the Angling Times (5th Aug 2023) and on the AT Tackle Talk on youtube.. A Marmite of a product but love em or think they are daft they are still great bits of kit. Available in two sizes (Match & Session) holding different capacities of rubbish or gear of course.
Litter on the bank is a problem (there are lots of ways to address this matter and we came up with this fun and functional BIN, which does help).
PEG, BIVVY or BEACH SHELTER, the new Midwater Luggage Bank Tidy is effectively a simple textile fishing bin. Sits next to you on the peg or in your bivvy for you to drop the sessions waste into. Shaped for both stability and to reduce the chances of the wind blowing the contents away (and with industrial hook and loop to close to take home without spilling the contents from the session) these are better than using a plastic bag for those that want them and far more cool looking.
The Pyramidal frustum (pyramid with the top chopped off) shape is stable and you can also drop a stone or something heavy in when placing it down on the bank on a blustery day. They are not water tight of course (we sew them lol) but you could line them with a bin liner. Fully padded and lined to maintain a little shape these could be used for a host of reasons but we designed them as a bank side little bin. They can be turned inside out and washed with warm soapy water easy enough.
Match Bin
The base is 25 cm square and the bin is 25 cm tall. The open topped pyramid is 15 cm square at the opening point. These have the capacity to hold your day's waste, crisp packets, sandwich wrappers, discarded line, hook packets etc.
Session BIN
The base is 37 cm square and the bin is 37 cm tall. The open topped pyramid is 20 cm square at the opening point. These are significantly larger than the Match bin and will hold a lot more of your waste for say a 48 hour carp or cat session. Three times the capacity but not three times the price.
Something like this may only suit a few conscious anglers and we are happy to be of service. If this is not for you or you think it a stupid idea, don't laugh or mock we are here to meet the needs of the few, not just the many.
Pictures courtesy of Paul Pritchard and Stewart Wilson who are happy with their Bank Tidys. Paul said, "Very happy with it and very practical, to such an extent my son even came over from his peg at the end of the day to get rid of his rubbish". Stewart commented, "it was perfect, held a couple of cans, a poly bag that my maggots came in, the wrappers from my bacon buttie and some rubbish and discarded line I picked up off the bank before hand. Very impressed with it, it didn't move all day and it was pretty windy out."
CUSTOM AND FUNKY COLOUR SCHEMES available by request.
We know you can buy a good plastic bag for 30p. (£7.99 divided by 30p is 26.6 so 27 bin liners later you could have saved money with the Bank Tidy.
We know they would sink (don't try to float them) and so do plastic bags. BUT they are shaped for stability and you can put something heavy in the bottom to prevent it blowing in accidentally.
Regardless of how obscure, we try to oblige where possible. Quality up, costs down and made in England with the individual Angler in mind.
