Have to eat hunble pie now: https://gardnertackle.co.uk/product/atta-audio-bite-alarm/

Exactly what I was meaning to say.... Lets be honest, a Carp is just a fish and shouldn't be treated any more 'intelligent' than any other imo. Fishing situations obviously make any fish more wary, unless in overstocked commercials I deff agree with, think the term is a 'carp soup' puddle? 😂 Not sure about your comment about sparsely populated lakes, deff hardest to locate fish and I for one can't be bothered anymore,, when located they would be 'relatively' easy to catch on any bait given an application of bait in that area?

Why oh Why don't Gardner do stuff on their website about this rather than some brief FaceAche clip??? Even I. who was critical of the new alarms might want to do now get them...... subject to if they are ever released and also some unbiased reviews if they ever do come out

Tbh, think underwater videos have been done to death now. Something a bit strange about this one though, almost seems to have been somehow AI generated?? Anyway, wouldn't worry to much, not many of us fish on gin clear waters and not sure Carp are actually that intelligent?

Very healthy bankside meal 👍

Opps, couldn't do a proper reply to my last post Social media has really overtaken most forums I guess now? I don't do it, as for Carp Forums, there is 'another' at least, but as probably said before this is more chilled, suspect in the future thay will die out except for old gits like me etc wanting something more laid back? 6

Just an update on original post, after playing around with the stuff it tended to make method mix very sticky and not as firm as I wanted (oh err). Anyway, probably should have thought of this before, just blitzed up some flaked maize to add to existing mix and it seems to do the job nicely. Off to an 'easy' Kernow water next week to give it a go.

Lot more than 2 brands left mate. Just wondering what happened to the Hearn / Sticky bait thing tho?

Guess that boat from China is taking it's time 😂 What a shambles!!!

Lol.... it is a shambles, apart from that earlier bloke I posted about them, nothing else. Guess I will give up on them tbh

Thanks for the link 👍 Even though I don't do FB I could watch it. Thinking this might be sods law, despite my earlier reservations on them I might consider getting a pair. However, the lack of info and release date is a bit concerning tbh. Will also wait for any longer term reviews on them if they ever go on sale?!

Have done as a previous post: "Just an update on this post.... Last week one of my old ATTs started to play up after many years of trouble free service, bit of a bodge job to get battery chamber working again but now doesn't seal properly! 😕 Anyway, out of curiosity last week I emailed Gardner via the web site about any release date for the new alarms, no response - probably not surprised tbh. Actually wondering if they will ever appear?" Hopefully Gardner not going T*ts up as a company, still got a long supply of their hooks I use 👍 But tbh (errr) sorry for 'speak not speaking engurlish'..... I would have now been considering at last to buy some but.... maybe they are on a slow ferry from China??

Yes I did actually ☹️, just saw the play arrow and clicked on it - and I used to work in IT 🙄 Anyway, still awaiting any more info on them, if you know where this video clip can be seen I would like a nose at them but I don't do face ache

Have modded mine with 4 magnet rollers and 'Carp Ears' ages ago mate, just old hands have somehow messed up the battery housing, never mind still have 100% faith in my old ones 👍

Video clip doesn't play for me, errr if that is a new product, why hide it behind silly Back Lead clip thing... not exactly a new thing ☹️ Somehow think they will not be appearing at all in the near future?!!

Haven't used hemp seed for a few years now, became to expensive and quality seemed to drop too. I am now using my own spomb mix, over method feeders, was very impressed how the buckwheat 'resembled' large hemp seed when cooked, might be worth a try for others on here?

Not exactly boring mate, but was same old same old. Didn't realise Terry Hearn was actually registered as a LTD company on companies house, fair play to the bloke and not some no mark bivvie tramp living off freebie tackle and baits for a brief spell on social media!

Yonny: Sorry I didn't realise that, they looked a bit like the old Weigh Master scales I used to have. Kevtaylor: Might have to do the same thing, I have the big Ruben dial scales, they are a bit bulky, come to think of it I don't actually use them much now anyway! 😃

"Are we talking about the old Nash Monster pursuit bait as used by the likes of Terry hearn and Nigel sharp back in the day? From memory it was a fishmeal bait with added Robin red with an added Shellfish flavour." Sorry so easy on line to find this stuff, from another site, just a big bait circus, no doubt it will fly off the shelves tho....... until the next big thing..... 😄

And those baits are deff not any current Sticky ones 🤫

On reflection, maybe a bit harsh on my comment, as ever the carp were amazing, big old ones and not fished to death by noddies! Couple of things tho... why did he use some 'cheapo' scales to weigh the fish? and... kept mentioning about the 20mm boilies, might be the Source, but did notice a 'sneak' view of a Sticky bag coming from the cool box too? Fair play to the bloke deff better videos than most. Just wish I could get out on the bank today and tomorrow but unfortunatly lakes are closed... weed clearance apparently, didn't seem to bother Tell tho 🙂 Or me if I was allowed to fish!

Fair comment, deff better than some 'urban banx (sic)' thing, or a lot of just tackle promo videos ☹️. Mind you, as someone who watched 'Harefield Hauling' many years ago perhaps my age is starting to show! 🙂

Nice chunky fish mate, remember the late John Wilson was always a great fan of the Wensum, good to see otters have not completly decemated the river too 👍
