Carp Catchers Blog

Nathan shows how winter fishing can be great fun despite the winter conditions. These photos are from a February session when the nights were well below freezing. Nathan used his new Chub Cyfish+ Bivvy with overwrap to keep the cold at bay. As you can see a nice big steak with all the trimmings also helped to keep him warm and fishing. Nathan succeeded in catching too, banking three carp. The Carp in the picture (self took) was caught using a 2oz Korda lead in conjunction with a 4ft leadcore leader. His rig consisted of 5inches of GLT No Can See Fluorocarbon a size 10 Korda Wide Gape Hook and a single Richworth KG1 bottom bait fished over matching pellets and 15 freebies. Well done Nathan!

We’ve had lots of new stuff come in so I’ll give you a rundown of some of the new items. Bivvies:- The new Chub Tri-Lite Bivvy �and Trakker Aero-Lite Bivvy �are both now in stock. As their names suggest these bivvies are among the lightest on the market and they both look extremely stylish and well made. If you want a look pop in and I will put them up for you. PROLOGIC have released some really nice tungsten leaders and stiff tungsten rig booms we have them in stock now so check them out.

Carp Rods:- we are now stocking the new Century FG Carp Rod �and�they look the absolute�dogs danglers. At the other end of the price spectrum we have the New Ron Thompson Dominator Carp Rods these also look very impressive for the�price, if you’re in the market for a budget carp rod then have a look at these babies.

As usual at this time of year the Bait Companys are starting to release their new ranges and we will have the best of them. First up is Dynamite Baits,�their new range of�Fresh Squid & Octopus Boilies �and Fresh Prawn Spicy Shellfish �boilies are now in stock both shelflife and frozen as well as matching pop-ups and liquids. We also have Dynamites new range of liquid soaks/flavourings with added liquid Betaine. Betaine is one of the best Fish feeding stimulants of all time so get on it. Richworth Baits have released their new KG1 pellets to compliment their very successfull KG1 Boilie Range. The KG1 Range is in stock now but going very fast. We’ve also had a few new bits and bobs in from Cotswold Bait Creations including their PVA friendly Maize which looks brilliant for something that bit different in your bag mix. That’s all I’ve got time for this time, but there are�new products coming in all the time so I’ll keep you updated.

Happy Fishes,
