I used to do a bit of match fishing back in the day when I lived up north and I remember vividly about 25 years ago watching the famous "Barnsley Blacks" absolutely rip the field apart at Elsecar Reservoir and they continued to do this for months and months winning absolutely everything.

The match world was alive with gossip of secret baits, cheating etc etc and eventually the secret of their success got out of the bag........they were the first to use the only previously commercially available humble Trout Pellet.....and the rest is history!

no wonder carp angling is seen as a joke by non angling paternity, these people will do more damage to angling than a 100 otters, and i couldnt give a dam who they are or who they think they are

"if true of course "

Trout pellets have been readily available for way more than twenty five years.

Having not paid much attention or knowing who people are... the bloke with the red face, is he sponsored by esp? The most core of carp brands.
If you lads tell me esp haven't addressed that car crash interview I'll be boycotting all esp and drennan products. Not because the bloke is guilty, how are we supposed to know either way, but the level of arrogance and deception are something else.


That 'level of arrogance' as you put it is the reason I try to avoid ESP products now, stemming from a certain article in Advanced Carp Fishing about leadcore.
It is sad because they do make some very good tackle, and the East Anglian Tackle rep Julian as it was then, or still is, is a very good guy, known him for years.
One of the few reps in the tackle shops we would allow to basically write out our tackle orders himself.

Kev states categorically that he's not using Hormones but admits that he does have an edge that he uses and it's very effective in shallow water.

As to what this 'edge' is something he wants to keep a secret but he said it's readily available but not in a tackle shop. And it's not just a bottle of instant catch liquid either.
