Carping Fashions


Recommended Posts

It would seem that fashions in carp angling come and go and when you think you are the first on to something invariably you find everyone is doing the same. So who still does any of these and why?

 

Tipping your hookbait with plastic corn.

 

Fishing slack lines all the time! Madness when snag fishing but I see anglers doing it all the time and using backleads in snaggy situations.

 

PVA mesh tube of pellet or broken boilies.

 

Lets hear about any other trends, maybe we could start some new ones? Camo everything seems to have vanished or maybe I can't see them. :rolleyes:

I'm pleased to say I've not done any of those things yet. :D

I use the PVA mesh tube full of pellets and / or broken boilies

Why?

So that I can continue to catch more than anyone else :bleh:

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

I use large split rings(key chain ones) to keep all my hook packets together, havnt seen that done yet :D

I have been doing that ever since hooks came in looped packets (about 40 years ago I guess)

 

It is nearly as long as that since I last looked at the carp forum !

 

PS, I have two sets for freshwater - one barbless and one microbarbed. That is to comply with whatever rules apply at whatever place I happen to be fishing. So far, I have always remembered to take the right set to the right place ..........
