Current Issue

As the colder months take hold and the banks begin to quieten, the action inside this issue is anything but slow. We’ve packed the pages with inspiration, insight and innovation to keep your angling motivation high as winter approaches.

This month, Ian Russell embraces one of the most effective winter edges as he breaks out the maggots for the first time this season with predictably brilliant results. John Cash reflects on his memorable time at Dinton, where his efforts were rewarded with a mighty fifty pound common, while Matt Eaton tackles the topic of leaders in his latest Inside the Mind feature.

On the cover, Rob Burgess takes centre stage with a record-breaking session at Gigantica’s Road Lake, landing an incredible eighty carp in a week. His approach might surprise a few readers, as he proves that sometimes the old school methods are still unbeatable – big boilie spreads are officially back!

Our Gear section is bursting at the seams this month, with new launches, reviews and a dedicated Christmas gift guide to help you find the perfect present for the angler in your life. We also take a behind the scenes look at the latest innovations from Sonik’s trade show, plus plenty of winter ready picks from the biggest names in carp fishing.
