Daiwa Emcast Spod ‘n’ Mark Reel
Total Carp Staff  |  Jun 14, 2016  |  0 comments
Spodding and marker float work require an altogether different capability from a reel, compared with a general fishing one, as more anglers are realising. Daiwa has produced the extremely popular Emblem Spod Reel for a few years but has now brought such a key piece of kit into the price range of more anglers with this Emcast version. It matches the superb (especially when you consider the price) Emcast 5000A, allowing the angler to team up matching kit but without breaking the bank. If you don’t use Emcast reels, however, the features on this still make it a great choice for spod and marker work.

If you’ve been ignoring zig rigs or simply ‘can’t be bothered’ with them, then this may just change your mind. Solar Tackle backed Darren Pearse has landed 75 carp to a biggest of 26lb 4oz in just 2 days, all on zig rigs. Experienced carp angler, and regular carp-match-competitor, Darren, presented Solar’s Seafood Take-Away pop-ups in the upper layers using zig rigs at Thorpe Lea fishery in Surrey. The hectic action meant that it was hard work to keep the rods in the water, with double takes happening on numerous occasions.

Leave Them Be!

We pick the brains of renowned fish farmer and fishery owner/manager Anthony Campbell on his thoughts with regard to the controversial topic of fishing for spawning carp. To fish or not to fish? That is the moral question! So we are at that time of year again when it is possible to see our target fish up close and personal, spawning away without a care in the world other than procreation! It’s an awesome sight as they burst out of the unknown depths to give you a glimpse of what it might be possible to catch! However, it is an incredibly stressful time for fish and fishery owners alike. In an ideal world, lakes would be closed for the period of spawning. Unfortunately, it is not an ideal world.

Colin The Common At New Record Weight!

Renowned French venue Echo Pool Fishery threw up its most treasured prize in a new lake record weight. The trip had got off to an absolute flyer for John Blair who fished with Pallatrax Jungle boilies and the ingenious Stonze weights, having already banked six mirrors ranging from mid forties to over a whopping 65lb this was turning in to a red-letter session. John Continues: “Echo Pool was not content with just that, I had taken the rods out and gone of to the shop and left things alone for a couple of hours, On return the rods were put back in and within ten minutes or so the left hand rod just ripped off. The start as it turned out of one of those lifetime memories although very quickly managing to find the only snag in the lake my thoughts turned to "can the line take it" and "am I going to lose it".

Short Session Success
Total Carp Staff  |  Jun 08, 2016  |  0 comments
Matt Whalley was fortunate to get out on the bank this week and venturing to his local water with limited time he targeted his preferred open water swim. After finding several clean fishable spots which had produced the goods in the past Matt begun baiting with 20 spombs of Deep Blue Particles Natural Mix consisting of Hemp, Maggots, Casters, Snails and Water Snails, needless to say it was a right carp feast. A scattering of Urban Baits Tuna & Garlic went over the area and out went the rigs. Fishing a bottom bait presentation utilising products from the Hybrid Tackle range Matt opted for a 14mm Tuna & Garlic boilie that was then tipped with the ever-faithful pink maggot clusters from Evolution Carp Tackle.

It's a great time to go in search of a few carp and MARC COULSON has a great way of targeting them once you’ve found them. . . It’s still a little early in the year to start piling the bait in, although levels can certainly be upped from now onwards; however, themajority of us will want something different altogether.

Windsor Great Park in Berkshire is set to confirm its status as a top-class carp angling facility with the announcement of its enhanced carp fishing offering which includes the launch of night fishing and the addition of a never-before fished lakeside to its fisheries.
