Solar Tackle staff member Barry Minns enjoyed a productive 48-hour session on a Kent club water, landing 3 commons to 33lb 3oz. Fishing over a bed of particles and Solar’s new, TunaMino test boilies with a 14mm TunaMino bottom bait fished on a multi-rig with a size 6 Stronghold 101 hook, the first take came on Saturday morning, having got to the lake after work on Friday evening. Following a weak fight and landing the first fish along with a huge ball of weed Barry thought a small common was the culprit. On stripping back the weed though, he was greeted with a 33lb 3oz common.

The Oaks Part Two
Total Carp Staff  |  Oct 07, 2016  |  0 comments
After 6 months i finally returned to my favourite lake The Oaks. It changed allot because they have cut down allot of trees and shrubs in the winter which is a shame, but now it is definitely more friendly for disabled anglers which is great as it is important that the disabled anglers have a nice and safe place to fish carp. But like I always do, I went for a good walk around the lake to see if i could see any activity, which proved difficult because of the windy conditions. So i simply started how I finished last year on The Oaks because that was pretty successful and I caught loads of carp.

Win An Aqua M3 Compact! It’s one of our favourite bivvies on the market and we’re giving you the chance to win one… Launched in early 2015, the M3 Compact was designed to offer all of the performance and features of the hugely popular M3, but with a slightly more compact design to appeal to those who wanted something a little less substantial in dimension. It bridges the gap perfectly and it is, as we said above, one of our favourites. Boasting the impressive Aquatexx fabric for maximum protection with breathability, it stands up to the harshest conditions and condensation proves nothing of a foe. Plus, the simple two-rib design makes for extremely quick erection and packing away.

Landing Nets
Esp Terry Hearn 44in Carbon Landing Net
Total Carp Staff  |  Sep 27, 2016  |  0 comments
A net is a net, surely? Well that was the premise I have always worked on; if it is big enough for the carp I am happy to use it. With that said, I took the accompanying net to my Terry Hearn Distance rods out for a play and it changed my attitude. Firstly, the aesthetics are awesome and it sits beside my rod setup seamlessly. However, let’s get it right, it’s not all about looks and it’s a personal thing whether you like its understated minimal looks, so I will leave that up to you to decide.
