Another vote for Catch Cult. Not sure about the high calibre anglers comment though as I've had 2 articles published in there

Made me chuckle a lot, you missed possibly the funniest part of the standard "edge" spod mix which i think is the cherry on the top you didnt specify that the mainliine liquid is called a "smart" liquid. But you hit the mail on the head. I really love fishing, especially carp fishing but social media has certainly changed the game.

that is absolutely spot on
i cannot abide reading that type of tale , which unfortunately is prevalent in almost all the mags. won't buy them any more , utter crap ! non stop and needless product placement and i get that its sales led .
personally i love a deeply technical article, but they are few and far between

What I can't fathom is how someone can use only one manufacturers products, or are they that similar, is it just the same thing with a different badge on it

Easy answer... Because they are told to, by their sponsors

I think it could be me just getting old and grumpy but I can't abide the terminology used in the magazines and also on social media
“I had xxxx bait in my armoury”
“My weapons of choice were xxxx rods”
“I deployed a PVA bag to the spot”
Cliches that are used time and time again and get so repetitive

Don't forget once they've been deployed they are to catch that ever elusive scaley banger, or old warrior!

Am in the early process of moving house and was up in the loft at the weekend and was going through old boxes of mags, have Carp Catcher, Carp Fisher, Carpworld, Hutchies bait one, BC, etc from issues #1 some of them, might be worth selling them..

It's the old warrior 5 year old simmos that crack me up 🤣🤣

In the early 90'ies i used to take the train to amsterdam, to get a copy of carpworld in the british bookstore. All excited about the magazine, and the rest of course.
Later we've got 3 carp magazines in holland, that went from not bad at all to horrible in no time. I've just read about the carpy language that gets on people's nerve, but it can not be as bad as dutch carpy phrases. I give to you, BAKKEN en BOLLEN. I've caught a bak (big fish) on this bol (boilie). BAKKUH OP DIE BOLLUH!!! Omg, just shoot me, you've caught a nice fish on a round bait boy, not a bak on a bol.
I don't know if there are any dutch carp magazines left, that says it all i guess. But it's the same with all forms of journalism, they are not independent thinkers on any subject anymore, just serving interests, beit political or commercial. Not much future for them i say.
