The hugely anticipated S-Slide side bush has been modified further, following a long period of field testing. We are constantly being asked when this unique side bush will be available, so we want to provide an update on the development.

An earlier prototype had a fully enclosed circle at the bottom, but by opening up this channel, we have now actually improved slide/stripping and made for easier threading.

We have also increased the radius at the top opening, allowing the elastic to flow even more smoothly.

New item development takes months, or even years, of work and field testing. This concept has now been in development for over 18 months. The revised prototypes will now go back out for final field testing, to prove that the new design is as good as can be. We are confident it is now perfect and we look forward to getting the S-Slide bush into production.

All being well, this totally unique side bush should be in the shops by July. In the meantime, you can ask any Middy stockist to pre-order it for you – or if you require a quality side bush sooner, our Pull-It bush is considered by many, including Match Fishing magazine, to be the best side bush currently on the market, with its simple click into place design.
