He catches some lovely big fish, but it all feels a little false.

He just never convinces me that he's even convinced himself re the rig changes 🤣
And not putting a initial bait over the bubbles, he said it himself, bit self determined, I liked his honesty in this one, he seems more relaxed.

I quite like the vids when he's not with the usual cling-ons - still get the odd 'pukkaa' but it feels more genuine - enjoyed the latest Hungary vid but being cynical its in his interest to keep pushing xmas tree rigs so he's forgiven . . .some stunning big fish tbf.
Only bit that annoyed me was his backrest bs - either use the smaller P1s / some rod lockers or simply get some Neville Ball clips whipped on . . .that and his lifejacket gilly lol

I personally think that he's just not a natural like some of korda's anglers are (daryl peck, Tom Stokes for example). That's the vibe I get any way.
He's clearly a great businessman and big thinker though and puts a massive amount of thought and effort into his angling, which is probably why a lot of the more resilient developments and marginal gains in carp angling over the last decade or so have come from Korda

I think he would be first to admit that to be honest. And when you look at his fishing through the years of TT and underwaters you can see why he has such a methodical approach to his fishing when on camera.
I actually liked the video a lot, and by the end it came across as he only went back to do the lake justice after the previous video showed it to be a lot harder and less prolific.

he only went back to do the lake justice after the previous video showed it to be a lot harder and less prolific.
I'm not sure it showed that though. He was allowed to fish a new swim where he could access the fish at 40 odd yards v the 350 from the previous vid, it's not really any surprise he did a lot better (if you take for granted good angling). On the plus side the new swim should at least push the fish away from that area to the benefit of other anglers, unless they have another safe zone they will push in to.
I wonder what the result might of been if fishing through the night?

At the end he literally alluded to it, saying that the way he fished and the conditions last time didn't reflect the lake and the stock fully and how special of a place it was

"enjoyed the latest Hungary vid but being cynical its in his interest to keep pushing xmas tree rigs so he's forgiven"

Is this the latest 10 component miracle rig?

I agree, but his catch rate imo wasn't what the normal person can expect because they wouldn't be given the same special access to a new swim where the fish are known to hold up...if that makes sense. Fairly sure if that swim stays open it'll be VERY popular to say the least
EDIT, @ Aidey, and there was me thinking that rig was unusually less complicated...for Korda ...I'd just use a stiff boom straight through...surely not...no crimps or nuffink

Some serious stock in that lake; looks like a nice place to spend a bit of time.. He could do with a masterclass in using a boat though..!!

Yes . . lol - uncommonly known (in my world anyway - any rig that has more than a handful of components) is an 'Xmas Tree' rig . . .ie louds of baubles and a bit of glitter with a fairy on top
