When you consider how many specialist carp magazines and books there are these
days, its surprising that there arent that many top-end videos and DVDs on
the subject. I suppose that theres a risk factor involved for any company
considering producing one. To do so costs money, lots of it, and youd really
need to be one of the pioneers of carp fishing to do it properly.
No surprise, then, that Nash have launched two at the same time!
Monster Pursuit Volumes 1 and 2 have just hit the shelves and, priced at just
£14.99 each, they are bound to be a big hit.
Each DVD is presented by Nigel Botherway. Those of you with Sky TV may well
know him * he definitely adds the professional touch that can make or break a
production.
Content comes from Jim Shelley, Gary Bayes and Dave Levy. Each of these guys
has caught English carp over 50lbs, so they really do walk-the-walk! Getting
inside these guys minds is like getting inside the mind of a carp itself!
Volume 1 gives advice on choosing a swim, some rig ideas, views on bait and a
whole load more. There are sections containing underwater footage that are
simply outstanding. And then comes the icing on the cake * a 45 caught on film!
Seeing it landed from a dinghy makes for classic viewing!
As if that wasnt enough, there is also bonus footage of Nashs beautiful Lac
Chateau Cavagnac in France and a quick tour around the Nash bait factory.
Volume 2 carries on with our masterclasses and includes an insight into tackle
from Gary Bayes, a look at the Bungee Rig from Dave Levy, Pop-Ups with Jim
Shelley, lessons on Spod & Marker use, reading the weather and more. Of course,
theres also some cracking action shots of fish being caught, right from the
buzzer screaming off up to the point when the fish is returned.
For those of you who like the circuit carp, theres also an excellent
discussion between our trio regarding Two Tone. As two of them have already
caught this fish, you know theyre talking sense!
And, as the icing on the cake, theres an interview with Kevin Nash himself.
Kevin rarely gives interviews, so its great to hear him giving the viewer an
insight into how he started carp fishing, how Nash Tackle came about and how he
still enjoys carp fishing today! I was particularly surprised to learn that
Nashys favourite target species is actually the perch. Seems hes a true
all-round angler.
These Monster Pursuit DVDs will strike the right balance with just about every
carp angler in the UK. There are no egos on display and no bull * its just
three carp anglers laying their skills open for the world to see. Some of it is
great for entertainment, some of it great for education. And, at £14.99 each,
theyre not going to break the bank!
Monster Pursuit Volumes 1 and 2 are available now from your local Nash
stockist, details of which can be found on www.NashTackle.co.uk
