Daiwa Mission Overnighter Umbrella / Brolly / Shelter - MON2

Product Information

They also add that extra little bit of space that could be handy for something like a bivvy table or a bivvy heater if the conditions are cold. The best weather for carp fishing, however, may also be conducive to using a brolly system as a mixture of rain, and at times, high temperatures will certainly need you under some cover at points during your session. Some anglers may prefer to keep this fitted, which is useful if setting up your umbrella over wet ground. This proved to be easy using the telescopic alloy storm rods. It took me around 5 minutes. Based around the traditional brolly shape this overnighter also has extended sides and a Velcro attachable ground sheet.

Ultimately, it’s a case of weighing up the pros and cons of either a brolly or pram hood shelter, or having the best of both worlds and paying a bit more by going for a higher spec bivvy system. Either way, I’ve highlighted a few options well worth looking at; Verdict – A firm favourite out on the banks, the Trakker Specimen Brolly is truly versatile and adaptable. It stands up well to the elements and is extremely easy to use. Highly rated. There are various extras you can get (many of which come as standard) with oval brollies including groundsheets, front panels with windows and roll up and removable doors, and even full winter wraps. All these extras only add to the versatility of the oval brolly and allow the angler to simply take the extras required to cater for the conditions at hand. The Daiwa Mission Overnighter's canopy is made from extra durable "pu" coated nylon and also features strong taped seams. Structured like a traditional fishing umbrella, the sides are useful. This helps if you’re fishing in windy conditions, or you need extra protection from the sun.

The Daiwa Mission is a traditional oval brolly type day shelter with plenty of features that really set it apart from other models in the crowd. The benefit of this shape of shelter is there is plenty of room to fit your bedchair, lengthways under the whole umbrella. I went fishing last Saturday and it pored with rain and when I got home I had take outside to dry as it was still soaking wet anyway not bad apart from the pegs. The Daiwa Mission provides extended storm sides to help protect against heavy winds and horizontal rain. You also benefit from groundsheet protection which is handy if you want a dry surface available to you before you stow your gear. We are avid fans of the original Fox easy shelter that served us on many carp fishing sessions across the years. We found that the Fox R-series brolly system is a really solid, well thought-out, and well-built fishing shelter and is a great all-rounder.

The Daiwa Mission Overnighter comes complete with Second storm caps which are positioned at the sides for greater application of shorter storm rods of the users choice. Are you sure you fish in the UK? If so you’ll be familiar with the concept of having four seasons in one day. Depending on your location you might find the weather is highly volatile. Two telescopic poles serve structural purposes as well, acting firstly as a rear pole that slots into place at either peak or base. One of the features that set the shelter apart from those similar to it, is the storm peak. This adds additional protection from rain if you are sittting in your fishing chair with all your gear around you under the shelter. The canopy of the shelter is constructed from PU-coated nylon, which has been treated to increase its durability and extend its lifespan.The Crossfire’s fresh new design provides a lightweight alternative to pram hood bivvies and offers more protection than a conventional brolly or shelter thanks to its external frame support. It comes supplied with two storm rods, and a removeable groundsheet and folds away into a carry bag.

Rigidity is much improved, too. Rather than having thin ribs, most brolly shelters or domes utilise hollow frame bars, which are opened out and slotted together to give excellent stability. Some even offer additional tensioning poles which fit between the bars to increase stability even more, and thus you could fish into harsher conditions in relative comfort each year with greater ease than you could with an oval brolly. The 190T polyester fabric will keep the rain off you whilst the PVC viewing panels allow you to still see what's going on in your swim whilst you remain fully protected from the elements.The Daiwa Mission Overnighter is a versitile all round robust Brolly system and has been a very successful product for Daiwa.

This has been one of Daiwa's best selling adaptable Brollies. The Daiwa Mission Overnighter Brolly is perfectly adaptable in all conditions such as warm weather or in showers. The doors on this shelter have 2-way zips that enable you to create a letterbox type opening that protects and allows for good ventilation at the same time. Verdict– We love it. A no nonsense carp fishing shelter that offers real value for money. Lightweight, yet robust, it’s the perfect companion for those doing regular overnighters who like to travel light. Two strong storm rods are also supplied for fitting to the front of the canopy as shown in the above image. The Daiwa Mission Overnighter come supplied with two strong storm rods. This gives the brolly the additional structural support that you’ll require. The Mission Overnighter also comes fitted with second storm caps, which are located on the sides of the brolly and can be used with shorter storm rods (not supplied). These are ideal for use in the windiest and wettest conditions, when you want that little extra support to prevent the brolly from flapping or shuddering in the wind. The Overnighter is also easily adapted to a full shelter system offering protection from all angles by fitting the matching overwrap (available to buy separately). This overwrap has easy access doors and can transform the brolly into a mini-bivvy, making this one of the most versatile systems available.The advent of the pram hood bivvy brought about a whole new wave of newly designed lightweight shelters aimed at the brolly angler, and so whilst some of the current brolly shelters don’t actually have a brolly design, they offer increased levels of space (due to an external framework) yet remain just as easy to erect and transport, and thus are still classed as lightweight brolly shelters or brolly domes. Anglers who want a little bit more than an umbrella-style day shelter with an easy to setup bivvy option. I personally use a Trakker Pioneer Ultralite, which follows the principles of brolly design but has an external aero grade frame to offer better strength and stability. The Trakker Crossfire is another shelter designed to appeal to As to why you should choose a brolly system over other solutions? Well, in comparison to a bivvy it is much lighter whilst giving many of the same benefits. The Strongbow is capable of withstanding gale force winds and monsoon like storms. The skin is heavy-duty for long term waterproofing and durability. It also features zip-able panels to expose mosquito windows, a rear mesh vent to enhance airflow, a storm window and a removable groundsheet.
