Welcome to the carp side! I would imagine most people would have most of the top brands in their tackle box. Korda/fox bits are fairly easy to use, reasonable quality & price. Bank tackle do good swivels and bits. I prefer Gardner hooks but always sharpen them for that extra sharp point. Hook link, I love rigmarole fluro or hydrolink. All the other bits are a mix of brands. Happy hunting fella 🤞

I don't know mate. At least that's useful. I get Wickes kitchens? Will writing services & ladies showing a bit of cleavage?? I'm not too sure what AI is trying to tell me?? 🥸

No plans for Carp.com socials then? Last thread there was talk of the possibility of going to horseshoe, or similar worthy venue. With all the revenue from ads I'm sure you guys could set something up?? 😉

I think it's a shame we still don't Now that would be a good social 🤓 As above, a few mates, good food, a few beers, nice location/water and a few fish for the photo library

They (Tories) can't name a single benefit from brexit. Despite it being rich as smugg's job for the past 2 years??? OH! Sorry, apart from now they have lifted the cap on their pals bonuses🤮

I know what you mean. Stick with your go to set up, don't change anything. It's been 3 years since I caught a decent fish. I've tried all sorts of different methods on a huge water. This year I went to a small venue with the missus and kids, ended up fishing a stiff fluro rig that smashed my original syndicate, due to nce clean bottom. It worked, so I used that rig at my syndicate reservoir. 1st carp out, is a new pb 35lbs. Followed by a nice little common, 22lb, I wish I could get a 30+ common! But always seem to get mirrors?? Hard earned, but regret not using my best rig from the start. Got the bug again, but family life is very restrictive at the moment. Social meeting there tomorrow evening. I live in hope to get bankside in the next few weeks, this is my favourite time of year to be out🥺

Best of luck mate, let us know how you get on👍

Only a suggestion, have you tried a completely different bait to target the bigger ones? Sometimes a small hook bait can catch the bigger fish Tigers? Corn? My old favorite, a matchbox size lump of luncheon meat in armor mesh. (you may get the odd predator take that though, had a decent pike out of yately on that & a 22lb stocky) It's all part of the puzzle you have to get your head round. By the way, I presume that there is larger carp in there & your not just catching the average stamp? Sorry if that is a stupid question

Have you tried 2 x 18-22mm n the hair? I've found that reduces takes from the smaller ones.

Really, how's that working out for you? 90% of Corben's policies everyone would agree with. Tell them it's Corben's policy and they backtrack?? Personally I have had enough of being taxed to the eyeballs & for what?? Where does it all go?? I would ask anyone to name any public service that has improved in recent decades? NHS? Police and rescue services? Inland revenue? Education? Roads? Energy and fuel? & the one that sickens my stomach our beloved coastlines and waterways 😤🤬 C'mon sheeple, it takes the masses to effect change! (sorry if that sounds like I'm on a soapbox) & I'm only registered, not involved) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

This proves my point! I'm so sorry mate. Please, please verify the media source. Do you believe that tripe!! As Elmo said, he met these people to try and achieve peace😔 The majority of his policies would of benefitted the majority of the country. Right wing media waged the biggest media war on him, to be unelectable. So as, not to see their huge profits being taxed. Yes, but it's people that don't vote, that has allowed our country to be run into the ground. Vote green, lib dem or raving looney party. Any way to get a change. I see this thread being deleted, but this is my only social media outlet, so I hope not

Yep, New New Labour won't even be seen on picket lines?? The majority of the political system is corrupt and outdated. Not acting in the best interests of the people?? Other successful countries have coalitions. But, look at how that went with Labour and the liberals 😭

Well said mate. Sad thing is, there are too many lemmings that vote for them, I'm not sure this situation will ever change 😤 By rights most of the Tories would be in jail, if they had ripped off a big corporation, instead of our country. But no, they'll get made lords and paid off big fat pensions🤯

Me too mate. Seems as though it's fishing only! Same response to my 'enough is enough' post, still I'm sure the Tories will do their very best for the people of country 😔

Welcome. Plenty of useful information on here. Enjoy mate

God save the King! Seems weird. RIP Liz

Enticing ads are back🤓 I was thinking the mods had turned the filters on. I used to get great ads

It's about time we brought our country & how it is governed, into 2022 & the elite are held to account for the years of having us all over. & letting their mates dump raw sewage into rivers and coastline😭🤮 I've had enough of being shafted out of my hard earned

I haven't been hacked. I've just had enough https://wesayenough.co.uk/

Under rated/used bait. But absolute classic! Chop em up and stick them in your with your freebies mate

I found an old worm liquid from dynamite. That's been in the garage for ages, so thought it may as well go on the cell and bannoffee. I found some hemp n pellets too, but I've found anything other than boilies @ the reservoir will result in bream😢 Good luck Highy

Green light for 48! Im hoping with low water levels I stand half a chance of getting a fish 🤞 Bait is glugged. Van is packed. Feeling confident!

I've turned down the green light for a 48 hr this weekend. Keeping it in reserve for the autumn. 35+ at the weekend, it's a hard enough water, no chance of a fish imo, I'll be in the pool.

They look like a good idea, so I tried them, lost my only take at the rest I've been on, so in the bin now 😔

Same as regards cheap ones. don't bother. As you say, some named brands are eye-watering prices. Cygnet are very reasonably priced. I have bank sticks, buzz bars and distance sticks, no complaints from me.
