That's the problem with these advertisement videos.

Or is that the cinque inside me

Dammit, you stole my line

Standard industry tactic imo, sit behind motionless rods, tell everyone how hard its fishing and produce your latest tackle/ bait development, have it off and sell a ton of stuff off the back of it, because I wouldn't of sat gawping at a screen for that long without changing something, maybe I'm just cynical though

Agree.

We're pretty much always seeing a happy ending in these marketing films from every single brand.

For me it's worth remembering that most of it will probably be story boarded, scripted, a narrative pre agreed weeks/months in advance.

And then the order of events changed in the edit.

The only thing I took from this film was, those fish follow the wind, those fish only feed in certain conditions, if you are in the right place at the right time they are 'aving it. The way you bait dictates the way they feed. Which is why the best anglers catch using their methods. They put the bait in the right place, at the right time, and bait according to their rig dynamics.

Did anyone watch Fishomania a few weeks ago.
A lake full of small carp and a group of top match anglers.
The weather changed constantly during the match and the fish would switch on and off dependant on the conditions.
Very interesting to watch.

Watched it over the last couple of days, not really interesting, bit carp emo tv right. On the bright side i always thought spooner and dovey were a bit too much, not ali like too much, but still too much, but having seen a bit more of them and especially after this latest underwater i find them hilarious. So that was a surprise. Let's see what part 2 brings.

I like Korda & DF's ethics but these underwaters are becoming tedious.

It's been done to death already..

Watching a brightly coloured hookbait getting rejected for 2 hours is hardly groundbreaking or entertaining.

It's no wonder he was in tears. What a waste of time, money & talent.

So
Shot on the hook didn't work then....

I wouldn't know.

I must have been asleep during that part..

Controversial, but I wonder how a nicer tasting bait would have faired rather that those Goo soaked hookbakts. Perhaps the carp get them just enough in their mouth to taste them and reject them, sometimes they get hooked most times they don't. A better tasting bait may get sucked further back for eating before being rejected with more chance of a better hook hold.

They did use a standard bottom bait (with a bit of cork in it) match the hatch, none glugged.
I have to agree though, high attract can also put off, and I bet most do the same, me included most of the time now!

Thanks for sharing.

Jason Hayward on a recent Korda podcast mentioned the very same thing. Maybe it's the high flavour levels and Flurosene based goos that are the problem. If they looked into the palability of there hook baits more rather than the rigs. They might get somewhere.
