💡 Top Tips

Tactical Tip: When using D-rigs, ensure the "D" is the correct size for your chosen hookbait to allow for natural movement and better hook holds.
Bait Tip: Experiment with different coloured hookbaits. A bright pop-up over a spod mix can often single out the bigger, more inquisitive carp.
Watercraft Tip: Don't be afraid to challenge popular opinions. What works for one angler may not work for another. Test different tactics and find what works for you on your venue.
