Big Frenchy For Trevor

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Customer Trevor Higgs had a whacking great French carp on a recent session at Luke Moffets’ Le Graviers. The big mirror weighed 53lb exactly and was caught at 250yrds range over a 3-4 kilo bed of Premier boilies. Trevors hookbait was tipped with a piece of Enterprise Pop Up Sweetcorn to counter balance the hook. The successful rig was a Solar Weed Effect Rig tied to a size 4 Solar Longshank Hook on a Korda Lead Clip and 15lb Korda Subline as the mainline. Trevor also had mirrors of 44 & 43lb. Well done Trevor great session.

Best Fishes,

John

News – Greys Platinum Rods Land World Record Carp

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Congratulations to Andre Kormoniki from London on landing the world record carp. Andre used a  Greys Platinum 12ft 6” 3lb Carp Rod to land the 91lb, YES 91lb monster from Luke Moffats Le Graviers water in France last week. The leviathan is known as the scarred fish or the fish of two halves as it has a scar running round its body. The scar was caused by a rope which was tied around the fishes body to retain it, this was done many years ago before people were less concerned about carp care. The bait Andre used was the awesome Baitcraft T1 a bait with a track record for the bigger specimens. Andre used a blowback rig tied with a Kryston Super Mantis hooklink and a Korda Longshank X Hook to catch the carp of a lifetime. Not content on catching the world record Andre went on to catch ten more fish including carp of 63lb, 56lb, two at 50lb, 40lb, 37lb, 33lb, 32lb, 29lb and 27lb. Well done again Andre, Well done also to Luke Moffet for nurturing such a special water and such a colossal fish.
