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! 🙂

That Speedboat Linear was something else 😎👌

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!

or what about something like monster pursuit…..

"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..... 😄

I get it, I think it's the narration from his garden again, every video seems to follow this format so yeah they all seem the same 👍

All fishing video's are advertorials! It's a trade off. You get to watch a fishing expert tackle a water and catch some biggies and he shows you how he did it and the tackle and bait used. The said tackle and bait are exclusively from his employer or sponsor. As long as it's not in your face and false claims made that you'll only catch using the same gear, I'm happy to go along with it. All professional anglers are influencers. God I hate that word but it's true.

I remember when I was kid (going to show my age now), when the only fishing program on TV was a very occasional 5 minute segment on Out of Town by Jack Hargreaves.There weren't VCR's or Catch Up and so if you missed it, you'd have to wait months for your next fix.

There are reams of stuff on You Tube and it's easy to become an instant carper if you digest enough. I learn't a hell of a lot from watching some of the DVD's when I switched from barbel to carp. I still watch a lot now and although some can get a bit samey, I still pick up some tips and incorporate them in my fishing. For the last six months I've been using Terry's flipper rig using bottom baits on at least one rod after being pretty exclusive on wafters and have caught pretty well on it.
