They are made from an extremely durable nylon that will not perish like rubber ones. They are also much easier to slide along the pole section as they do not ‘roll’ when you move them to thighten the rig up.

Rather than explaining at length please take a few minutes to watch this short demonstration footage.

Now Colour Coded for ease for recognition depending on length of rig being set up.

Seven different colours making recognition easy

NOTE! Mk2 Clever Claw taking the total weight so ‘hands free’ to feed swim

yet one tap on the pole butt will release claw giving instant control of the pole.

The trade price of the popular Prologic ‘Quick Release’ Connectors went up to shops by 25% some months ago with the RRP for 3 now being £10.99 in many shops.

Real Ideas Mk2 Clever Claw is selling well at the RRP of £24.99 and anglers contacting us to let us know how delighted they are with the advantages gained over other supports or holding the pole.

We have a ‘limited period offer’ at participating tackle shops but due to an increase in material cost from our suppliers we may find it difficult to maintain this.  This may result in an increase in the RRP at the shops.

All our component parts for the Mk2 Clever Claw are manufactured in the UK which gives the advantage of very short lead times resulting in greatly reduced ‘back order’ time.

Most realise that, in the long run, it’s best to pay a little more for a genuinely unique and quality made product.

….but many are not yet aware of it’s existence let alone it’s versatility and the advantages using the claw offers.

Recently, and to our surprise and delight,  it came to our attention through the Total Fishing angling forum that a highly experienced pole angler, Mick Lees, had been seen using a Mk2 Clever Claw in possibly the most prestigious fishing competition in the UK, the Parkdeans Masters.

Mick came sixteenth out of the twenty six finalists in a field comprising of the cream of the UK’s long pole anglers.

Real Ideas are very proud to be able to announce this fact as have stated on many occasions that it has the ability to give advantages to anglers at ALL LEVELS.

PURELY BY COINCIDENCE

Only a week prior to hearing the above we had been demonstrating the Mk2 CC at a shop in Derbyshire called Subfish and one of the staff asked if he could ‘have a go’.

This was ADAM WAKELIN the ‘winner’ of the Parkdeans Masters!!!  Simply a coincidence.

Before letting Adam on my box with my heavy 16mtr carp pole I had asked him if he pole fished, worried he might damage my pole,  and he answered “a bit” so I said be careful then.  As soon as he got onto my box I could tell he was an experienced pole angler by the way he shipped out and got the hang of using the Mk2 Clever Claw quickly.

After several minutes of ‘clipping on’ and ‘releasing’ the claw,  lifting with his knee to strike and moving the pole from side to side whilst using just his knee and pretending to feed with a catapult (oh, and also chatting to a friend on his mobile totally hands free) he got off my box and went back behind the counter.

Minutes later I heard a customer ask “what are you going to spend the money on then”, so I asked Adam “have you won the lottery” and he answered….

….” no the Parkdeans Masters”.

Used long pole ‘a bit’ he had told me, yeah right!

I asked Adam what he thought of the Mk2 Clever Claw and he told me he was very impressed and “could see how it would definitely help many anglers that can’t hold long pole easily”.

They are now being used in, Italy, Spain, USA, Holland, France, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and Lithuanian.

Only last week an angler, Colin Ashman, came over to England with instructions from his team manager to “come back with Mk2 Clever Claws”. Colin who fishes for a match team that competes at a high level throughout Germany said they will really put them through there paces and report back.

We will let you know the outcome when they do.

Have any anglers reading had experience of fishing in other countries and have opinions on there techniques and how the Mk2 Clever Claw will fit in with there style of fishing?

If you have any views simply use the ‘comment’ box below as Real Ideas will be interested in hearing them as they will help us with any marketing we will be doing in Europe.

Many thanks

Hi to all,

I’ve just got round to Blogging all about Real Ideas and the things we’re doing, going to be doing and things we’ve been up to.  With the Cleverclaw MK2 doing so well, the Prologic Connectors, Okuma’s 3 PAR (three position anti-reverse) getting more and more common place and better known on the bank.

We have decided to share are very latest news and some of the history and reasons behind the development of these unique innovations (with more to come!) with you the Bloggers, Fisherman, Anglers and ‘whoever’ else interested enough to read.

You will see some LIGHTER COLOUR TEXT that if you ‘mouse over’ and double click will take you to information on our website as will the various CLICK HERE links.

As we have not ‘Blogged’ before I can only guess that you can post comments on any of the pages and topics. We will know shortly no doubt!

Best fishes,

Nick Palmer
