Thanks for flagging, for now we only available in the U.K. due to bots slowing the site down from China and US, we were planning to activate France next, the only issue I’m working out is the cost of delivery to europe. Hooks I can get to you for around £2, everything else eg boilies would cost about £15. If you saw delivery costs like this would it put you off ordering? Thanks

Yes mate even barbless are great hook hold, I had a 32lb common out on my first session using them which is my U.K. PB, couldn’t believe it! They’ve had big cats out too in testing which I was buzzing to hear about. I use them myself now on all venues & recommend them to everyone

Great news thanks mate, you deffo won’t regret it! The more support we can get, the more we can grow our range, we’re looking at a range of hooklink material next!

I’ve been reflecting and I wanted to thank my carp.com friends for all support in my fishing journey so far. Ive come here on many occasions not understanding something and left with a wealth of information. You guys are one of the reasons that I became inspired to set up my own fishing tackle business. I’m so proud to say that hookedgear.co.uk is doing well and as a thank you for all your support I wanted to offer you guys a 15% discount code that isn’t anywhere else online - please use Tightlines15 at checkout for 15% off your orders! I honestly highly recommend our hooked gear stealth hooks. They have landed catfish and big carp already, they are super sharp and cheaper than the big brands charge, with free delivery always!

Hey everyone, just reopening this as it's finally live, thanks for all your advice, please check it out We have a launch promo too LAUNCHPARTY10 - Https://hookedgear.co.uk Our stock is limited as we're still really new but the prices are competitive and always will be. As we make more sales we'll grow the variety.

Guys check out our new landing page, whilst we're getting out ducks in a row ready for the launch, I've created an earlybird promo which will be exclusive and unavailable once we open the site up. Check it out @ Hookedgear.co.uk

Sounds good I would be interested in hearing from them mate, ask them to drop me a message on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HookedGearUK/

Good shout, thats what I'm trying to do with my bait to start with, making it a bit cheaper than you can get elsewhere, especially as bait is an essential! Then you're right I need another one or two things that are cheap and drive traffic to the website. Definitely, its the same with everything really, petrol for example, if the station across the road undercuts their competitors, they then have to match that drop and so on and they both lose out in the end I don't have the storage capacity yet for things like rods/bivvys etc but that's certinately a future plan.

I'm sure I can give carp.commers a healthy discount

Hey Framey, Thanks for your advice pal. I'm really pleased that I can tick those boxes haha I wont be playing any drum and bass music that's for sure! I will probably make some videos after selling the first few batches of stock, it will be good to get out on the bank and really test the range. I have a DSLR too so I can film it I would probably rather give some away and get someone more experienced to do it though! But we'll just have to see. Thanks, Jason

Hey everyone! It's been quite some time since I've posted on here, I first came to carp.com when I was really new in to carp fishing, asked about 1000 questions and everyone on here was really helpful. Over the last 3 years I've been desperate to do more with my life and have finally decided to start my own online fishing retail company! So once again I come to you guys for your tips and advice but in a different nature this time. Here's where I've got to so far: Company started Sourced a manufacturer for my own branded hooks range! Got a trade deal for bait Linked in a clothing company to my website Created and grown social media accounts with groups that people are getting involved in Now i'm just waiting for the right time to place that first big order of bait so I can launch the business and start trading. I'm so excited about whats to come but I'm looking for someone to help with tips on how to make the launch as successful as possible, and hope that when I do I can rely on all the guys at carp.com to give me some feedback on how the site looks and what they want to see on there :) Stay safe everyone and tight lines! Jason

This is the kind of rig I mean, helicopter with long boom section I believe it does have a pop up on

Hey everyone, long time no post! I’m going to France in September to fish a lake called Val D’or. I’ve heard it’s clay with patches of silt and gravel but also that there’s weedy areas so a bit of a mixed bag. For the last few years I’ve had quite a lot of success using inline leads catching me my PB 34lb in a gravel pit. Ive recently started experimenting with new setups using helicopter rigs and have had a bit of success. Fishing a new water I’m looking for some advise on your experiences using helicopter rigs, I was conisderIng Korda Kable chod leader with heli set up, tied boom section and a stiff hinged rig with a bottom bait/pop up snowman set up. Are there any situations where this wouldn’t work or have you got any other suggestions? Thanks Jason

Hey guys, Me and my mates are looking to go to France next year, it’s our 4th annual trip and we’ve always gone to the same lake but we want to try somewhere new this year. I’m looking for suggestions based on - Friendly staff - Potential for large carp and maybe sturgeon/cats - Don’t want a really hard water though where we’re going to blank or catch 1-2 fish in a week Any help would be really appreciated Thanks Jason

Thanks I'll definitely check those out this eve, also heard fox camo is good too if anyone's used that before?
