All a bit fishy if you ask me . Must be legit if it made the sun

Strange one as the poster did try and portray that. Picture of the carp on the police car is photo shopped . No name of the fishery involved or area , Essex police have no record of it , all very very strange .

The story and pics are Fake !

good old FAKE news

All that sea and you want to fish for Carp Take some spinners and plugs , you can try for Bass , get some Ragworm fish off any rocks (be safe) for Wrasse . Lots of great sea fishing around there you can still use your carp rods and reels .

Another way to look at it - If you need to use all the tech to catch then maybe you should find a new hobby .

Sorry this just says what is wrong with modern carp anglers , cameras , echo sounders so that you can 'clear up' on almost any venue . You may as well fish a clear gold fish bowl or stay in your house and play a computer game . Each to their own but that ain't fishing in my book .

I can't fault them for quality or service , what did you go for in the end ?

I don't use a pod , but why change what you have ?

I wouldn't have even mentioned anything on social media at all , let alone mention catching and seeing 30's plus rod shots showing locations . Simple -don't want others cashing in then be super secretive and resist social at all costs , if your going to give clues and hints then don't moan when others take short cuts .

Posting on public facebook pages probably hasn't helped

Micro barbed for me , on your water and would defo use micro barb as I would be gutted to loose one if it weeded me I think you've got more chance of the fish still being on if you have to go slack when weeded . If Nash was that worried he would stop selling barbed hooks , can't see how you can get more takes if the hooks are sharp then by the time it penetrates to the barb its to late and the fish is hooked .

I haven't no , I use the Shropshire gold and Meaty garlic . Not keen on the wafters as they are cork dust ones but the pop ups are good . Great service as well , I'm sure they would send you a few samples if not let me know what you want to try and I'll add some to my next order and send some samples over to you to try .

May have been me I'm using them at the moment very good baits , price and service . There are aa good number of quality bait firms now though . @Macca187 what area are you based , you may have a bait company on your door step .

Worth seeing if you have an animal feed company near by , they'll often do pellets and particles etc . As far as boilies go depends on quantity Abs bait , premier , retro , baitworks all do decent bait . Couple of my mates are using Munch baits and catching I'm not 100% sure on quality due to the retail price but all depends what your looking for. I f using pellets in quantity then your better of using coppens coarse pellet rather than oily trout pellet .

Wow -- all i said was --Just read through it all and although Nash gets mentioned not really sure how you come to that conclusion . Just goes to show how reading forums can give different opinions . How's that warrant a calm down , think you read far to much into what is written on here , I genuinely didn't see a Nash like vs Nash hate vibe on this thread , you do different opinions thats all . Now there is no need for YOU to start trying to make it personal all IMO

Just read through it all and although Nash gets mentioned not really sure how you come to that conclusion . Just goes to show how reading forums can give different opinions .

Would the angle change when I wear my stilettos due to the extra height P.s I get what your saying in theory .

Oh I see from a geometry point of view yes , although you could move further away so the angle is the same , once the lead hits the water the difference would be so minimal anyway I can't see it making any difference , will the two leads enter the water at the same velocity ?

But isn't that the point you wouldn't release at the same point , you alter the lead drop speed release etc depending on the equipment and situation .

how long is your drop swing it in

Totally agree as long as the rods are capable , see my responses above .

stop confusing matters your Rodney or is it Dave

I don't know but my old cane rods from 50 yrs ago sre still going strong !!! I've only replaced the blanks 3 times reel seats once and rings 4 times all for modern equivalents
