I finished watching it last night and was reading the comments and was surprised how many people think Dan is the carp fishing Jesus. Also loads of people saying well they completely changing the way they fish like they are in the same situation. People forget that one spot has been baited for weeks with no lines in the water at night etc.
The way stokes baited it was the thing I took away from it more then the rigs.
I bet the next time we see Fairbrass fishing on video I bet he is not using the rig he ended up on

Have watched bits, and on reflection it's actually very depressing viewing.
On the good side, they refined everything to overcome the particular situation they faced. The negative is without the camera none of this would have been possible. From the bits I saw there were no obvious signs of being done, so us lot could never have gone on the same path of problem solving.
You then get to the ‘solution' which as many have said is only relevant with the same variables - so blindly following is ridiculous.
The comparison withe hair I find stupid, the hair revolutionised bait presentation on every waterway and situation. This new one needs clear gravel, within catapult range - so very defined situation.
When the chod came out I used it (on a weed free water with hard bottom!) caught well but my indication was crap, don't think I've ever used a Ronnie rig or stiff hinge. The reason is that I don't fish waters that these would be an edge, and since the chod experiment you realise that it's horses for courses.
My god they will sell a load of hook shot, a revolution that has been available and published for years.
I don't mind if encountering challenges when fishing as it really gets you thinking and have played with many of the rigs and edges people share, including a couple of years ago using elasticity to really good - but short term effect. To make it relevant it would have been nice to see a Danny vs Tom, one with no camera to see the true advantage and disadvantage of fishing for the camera. I'm unsure there would have been a massive difference, sometime having confidence and general watercraft mean that what you don't see doesn't harm ya.

What did he do?
Maybe I should watch it 🙂

Used a catapult instead of a spod and rather then mixing boilie, pellet and corn in one go did them one at a time.. Was hardly revolutionary
Edit - he also baited tight around his rigs rather then make a bigger bed around it as well.

Not revolutionary but good to see how it made a nice spread over the spot

I know it's verging on twenty years old now but didn't they use a shot on the hook rig in one of the first Underwaters? I seem to remember them at one point using a grain of maize and foam with a shot on the hook

Yep, great bait segregation...using the essential Korda Kontainer system
Cynicism is creeping up on me

Claiming a bit of credit here but one of the first products Carp-Tart launched was the ‘double-endr' bait bag, so one bag an opening either end and sewn across the middle to keep mixed size baits separate

The latest offering, Carplantis, I mean, the last OMC one (since re released extended) was bad but this...2 hours. I'm no Korda basher but 8 days on high attact before wondering if they should try 'match the hatch'.
If anyone fancies 2 hours of it. it's here...tadpole hell was good though...lol

Edit, perhaps they should've watched BP Millings lastish vid. Didn't see them say they were using hemp in the Korda vid, does that make those snails...if so below vid
