That’s Not A Carp

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Yes I know it’s not a carp but we feature all species on the Carp Catchers Blog. Regular contributor and customer went on a sea trip to catch some tope and boy did he. These two 30lb beauty’s were caught on dabs, caught earlier in the day. Rob reports that the sea was so rough he had to hold onto the gunnels with one hand as he was playing the fish. The skipper said that had the wind been one notch higher they would not have been able to go out. Rob has got his hands on a new syndicate ticket and is going on a French carp fishing trip soon so carpy reports and photos may be on their way in the near future.

Carp Catchers Blog

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

If  you would like to feature on the Carp Catchers Blog simply email your catch photo and a mini catch report to carp@carpcatchers.biz . The fish do not have to be monsters to qualify any size fish if you’ve caught it is worthy. The blog can feature anything of interest be it a theory on fish behaviour or a new rig email it to me. Do not worry about spelling or grammer as I will sort that. Come on guys let’s get talking and hopefully catching more.

Best fishes,

Ace Terminal Tackle – New Products

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

We are now stocking a selection of the new Ace Terminal Tackle range. I wasn’t too keen to begin with but Max Cottis came in and demonstrated the range to me and I was suitably impressed. The  Ace Hard On Camo Leadcore   is very heavy and the diameter is a lot thicker than most so the abrasion resistance should be really good. It comes on a 25m bulk spool with two decent splicing needles and is available in camo weed, gravel and silt. The chod rig has become extremely popular of late and if you dont fancy splicing your own have a look at the Ace Hard On Camo Leadcore Helicopter/Chod Rigs  . There are three leadcore helicopter/chod rigs to a pack and you get a choice of size 8 Cyclops and Quick Change Cyclops Helicopter Swivels and are also available in camo weed, gravel or silt. For those of you that like to balance your tiger nut hookbaits the Ace Tiger Nut Drill  has a specially shaped tip to help prevent splitting. The tiger nut drill comes supplied with 5 cork sticks and replacement cork sticks are also available. The Ace D-Spool Line Stripper is a handy gadget for quickly stripping line of your spools and is designed to be used with a cordless drill. Finaly, most coated hooklinks have a camo outer but a different colour on the inner braid. Aces’ Camo Core  has a camo outer coating and the inner braid has exactly the same camo pattern. Camo Core is a soft coated braid which is available in camo weed, gravel and silt. This is just a selection of the new products from Ace for more information or to purchase follow the above links to the main site.

Best fishes,
