Do we need it and is some of it over the top.
Other than matching everything else do we need a camo unhooking mat?
Then the ultimate. A green avid carp bag I seen the other day said in its sales blurb it had camo lining 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ffs what's the point in that.
Just interested in what others think. Personally the olive green is enough for me. Also no premium price.

I think people go way over the top with camo but then again I think face pubes, full sleeve tattoos look ridiculous too.
Clearly it makes you more carpy.
Scruffy bob made me some storm sides for my 50 inch wavelock brolly in the late 80s I asked at the time what about camo, he said don't be silly your going fishing not going to war 😁

Someone sat quietly fishing wearing camo or.... Someone knocking in a 3ft storm pole with a claw hammer then sitting on their England deck chair... Mmm let me think about that

I bought a camo baccy tin and matching lighter.
Lost them both first time out.

Not a big user of camo gear myself but I really couldn't care less if others others choose to. Let's face it, the reason most (none camo) gear is olive is to be camouflaged.

Not saying it's wrong and would rather it than orange tents.
I'm just asking if it's being taken a little far. Camo un hooking mat that lays on the floor the fish wont see anyway. The selling point of an olive bag is it has a camo lining lol.
Clothing and a bivvy yes I get but some of the other stuff seems a little pointless.

I think my use of camo is to hide me from other anglers rather than the fish; a camo net to stop the bivvy being seen from the footpath, although I do still have a Jungle DPM combat jacket and trousers from the 1980's which I wear sometimes when fishing, the jacket more in extreme weather.
My usual fishing attire is plain olive combat trousers, and dark green or black t-shirts and sweatshirts or hoodies.

I pretty much stalk exclusively so it's very important I blend in as much as I can, got a few bits of camo clothing though most is drab browns/olive, my son brought me a North Face realtree kagool for down the pub he said!
Also recently replaced my old cover with a 3x2m camo lightweight netting that I use for certain areas where bank side cover is not good and the fish travel along the edge, get some strange looks but it works a treat as I find it hard to sit/stay still and my movements have cost me dear in the past.
Each to their own.

I was opposite someone who had the netting over his bivvy ... everything was camo... he spent the day hammering his pegs in... the evening with the tv on... and a light on through the night.😂

My guess to hide the anglers, or nature's spillages
