  • Our man @elliotts_trentlife had another successful splash n dash session at one of our private waters this week, here’s what went on:

The temperatures dropped but mustn’t grumble, no rain forecast for the bank holiday💪😎
Had some lunch then a potter around in the garden whilst trying to decide the afternoon’s target...tench or carp? It was taking far too long so took the decision out of my hands and flipped a 10p, tales never fail for a tinca.....well it did today😂, it’d actually done me a favour in more ways than one as I was soon to find out. 
I’d only got until dusk, so mounted the hook baits and made up a few 25mm mesh bags and I was off. 
Not a sole fishing when I arrived, so I put some bait on a couple of spots without the tuftys spotting me, if all fails in the first swim I was equipped with the bare essentials to shift to the second for the last few hours. 
Time ticking it was fast approaching 7pm and I’d not had a touch, so wound in and quickly got my arse over to the back up peg.
Rigs deployed it was “déjà vu” for nearly two hours and I was working against the clock, faith and light nearly depleted I expected defeat when low and behold the hydro wafter rod rattled off....an absolute screamer 🔊 and a savage scrapper to back it up.
Safely in the net it was a rapid erection for the tripod, pics, pack down, release and I was gone like a bat outta hell .....yeah baby🤞🐟

  • Good morning all and a very Happy Friday to you all! 
It’s a relaxed one at HQ so far today, having had a very busy week prepping and packing orders, stacking stock to the rafters and topping up our Boosted Specials!

The kettles just boiled so whilst a brew is on the go, here’s a few catch reports!

Kicking off it’s our tame whisker whisperer @potts_fishing_ , with an armful of Carp!

A trip to a local water, the action came with zig rigs and some of our trimmed down 15mm B.P.T. Airball Popups to intercept the cruising carp!

Beautifully done!

  • Good evening all! Well we’ve been quite busy at HQ again, orders prepped and collected today, we’ve also finished a batch of very Special Boosted Cocoons. These absolute beauties, Lamprey & Crayfish Boosted “Extra” Specials will only be available at the 30th Anniversary Barbel Society Show, and they are a very limited edition!

We have got our plan together ready for the big day, we will be bringing a whole host of products, along with merchandise and clothing with offers on the day too! 

We have seen a big uplift in sales already, with folks taking advantage of getting their orders in time for the glorious start of the season, so please, if you have yet to order, please don’t hang about as we will be closed to allow our wonderful team the opportunity to get a line or two wet!

Looking forward to seeing you at the show!

  • We’ll wrap things up with part 1 of our man Robs incredible trip to France!

“My recent trip to France was my best yet with over 30 carp caught - Here’s a photo dump of a selection of them - A mix of different strains with some very powerful commons and a few Ghosties in the mix also.
Stacks of 40lbers and a few that went a bit bigger that l’ll save for another day!

This lot all falling to 12mm B.P.T. Airball Popups over big beds of that killer Carp Crunch Particle Mix from Nige’s famous recipe book - A trip to remember this one!”

What a session!

  • Our man @elliotts_trentlife managed to break the blankety blank cycle at his local water with this stunning Mirror!

“Popped over to the syndicate on wednesday for a few hours, expectations were low having already done eleven fruitless hours on my previous visits.
Had a quick chin wag with the one and only angler present, he said he’d seen one fish top all day but other than that “nada”.....sounds familiar!
Decided to set up at the car, grabbed the necessities, chucked them in the cradle and snuck off to see if i could find mr carp.
Nothing obvious and limited time so i found an area I fancied, slipped my 25mm bags on the hooks and put them on the desired spots.
Half hour later and a drop back bite developed into a crazy battle at close quarters, made even more exhilarating on me old 7ft stalker rod, moments later she was sulking in the net awaiting a mug shot - get in!
The magic of the Molecule C1-H1 Popup saved the session and another blank.....happy days!”

Cracking effort Jay!

Getting out on one of his own lakes, the mighty C.K.O. Dinner gong was rung, and this gorgeous common couldn’t resist!

Cracking job Michael!

  • @jamesmaedo has been brushing up on his stalking recently, as this successful session on his local water proved! 

With crumbed Squid Liver Enzyme Boilies, and a C.K.O. Wafter fished over the top, a triple fish haul was the result!

Nicely done James!

Our man @elliotts_trentlife had another successful splash n dash session at one of our private waters this week, here’s what went on:

The temperatures dropped but mustn’t grumble, no rain forecast for the bank holiday💪😎
Had some lunch then a potter around in the garden whilst trying to decide the afternoon’s target...tench or carp? It was taking far too long so took the decision out of my hands and flipped a 10p, tales never fail for a tinca.....well it did today😂, it’d actually done me a favour in more ways than one as I was soon to find out. 
I’d only got until dusk, so mounted the hook baits and made up a few 25mm mesh bags and I was off. 
Not a sole fishing when I arrived, so I put some bait on a couple of spots without the tuftys spotting me, if all fails in the first swim I was equipped with the bare essentials to shift to the second for the last few hours. 
Time ticking it was fast approaching 7pm and I’d not had a touch, so wound in and quickly got my arse over to the back up peg.
Rigs deployed it was “déjà vu” for nearly two hours and I was working against the clock, faith and light nearly depleted I expected defeat when low and behold the hydro wafter rod rattled off....an absolute screamer 🔊 and a savage scrapper to back it up.
Safely in the net it was a rapid erection for the tripod, pics, pack down, release and I was gone like a bat outta hell .....yeah baby🤞🐟

Good morning all and a very Happy Friday to you all! 
It’s a relaxed one at HQ so far today, having had a very busy week prepping and packing orders, stacking stock to the rafters and topping up our Boosted Specials!

The kettles just boiled so whilst a brew is on the go, here’s a few catch reports!

Kicking off it’s our tame whisker whisperer @potts_fishing_ , with an armful of Carp!

A trip to a local water, the action came with zig rigs and some of our trimmed down 15mm B.P.T. Airball Popups to intercept the cruising carp!

We’ll wrap things up with part 1 of our man Robs incredible trip to France!

“My recent trip to France was my best yet with over 30 carp caught - Here’s a photo dump of a selection of them - A mix of different strains with some very powerful commons and a few Ghosties in the mix also.
Stacks of 40lbers and a few that went a bit bigger that l’ll save for another day!

This lot all falling to 12mm B.P.T. Airball Popups over big beds of that killer Carp Crunch Particle Mix from Nige’s famous recipe book - A trip to remember this one!”

What a session!

Our man @elliotts_trentlife managed to break the blankety blank cycle at his local water with this stunning Mirror!

“Popped over to the syndicate on wednesday for a few hours, expectations were low having already done eleven fruitless hours on my previous visits.
Had a quick chin wag with the one and only angler present, he said he’d seen one fish top all day but other than that “nada”.....sounds familiar!
Decided to set up at the car, grabbed the necessities, chucked them in the cradle and snuck off to see if i could find mr carp.
Nothing obvious and limited time so i found an area I fancied, slipped my 25mm bags on the hooks and put them on the desired spots.
Half hour later and a drop back bite developed into a crazy battle at close quarters, made even more exhilarating on me old 7ft stalker rod, moments later she was sulking in the net awaiting a mug shot - get in!
The magic of the Molecule C1-H1 Popup saved the session and another blank.....happy days!”

Cracking effort Jay!

Our good friend Michael Whites resident Carp absolutely love our C.K.O.

Getting out on one of his own lakes, the mighty C.K.O. Dinner gong was rung, and this gorgeous common couldn’t resist!

Cracking job Michael!

@jamesmaedo has been brushing up on his stalking recently, as this successful session on his local water proved! 

With crumbed Squid Liver Enzyme Boilies, and a C.K.O. Wafter fished over the top, a triple fish haul was the result!

Nicely done James!
