Sour grapes? I'm quite content in my current role to be honest.
Never understood the whole "you're just jealous" thing.
I love gaming, I enjoyed using my xbox on a regular basis, however would I want to film myself playing on it, or stood in 'Game' on a saturday earning minimum wage selling games for the xbox?
Would I want to be an LG/Samsung/LoveHoney salesman too because I enjoy using their stuff too?
Na, you're alright.

I don't really know what camp i fit into between General Noddy or Well Informed Forum Go-er, maybe somewhere in the middle but the scary thing is that I watched his release video and for a minute, just a brief minute my head was saying that the pop-ups looked decent and may be worth a try.
Absolutely no idea why, but thats me being truthful.
How many poor souls are going to walk into AD and make that mistake.
If i took my son into AD and told him to pick out a bait, he'd probably go for the "Kettle Chip" wannabe bags because they look kind of flashy i would expect.
The OMC bait screws aren't bad though to be fair

The bait snobs and Ali haters have already won by reading your reply, that's not a pop just a observation.

The bait looked quite good imo, nice and soft. I doubt very much Ali will have put together a crap bait. The pop ups, someone will want to class them as over flavoured balls of dough/sawdust, but those types of pop ups have been catching, and will continue catching for ever, it's as simple as that, who ever tries to imply differently is argueing with history that's undeniable, not my opinion. Your fishing for a Carp!*

As above, nothing wrong with their decision just others opinions about it being a inferior product.

Good, nothing wrong with a good bit of marketing, and by being unbiased he may actually have a great result
* I have no beef with using a well made food pop up for tricky venues but in general they're not required imo, those sorts of venues are in the minority not majroity. I'm not saying you won't do better on them where ever you use them either for the record.

New series Carp Angling Adventures started on YouTube 22nd March apparently, something to watch for me, maybe for you too

So I watched the first episode in the new series of "The Grand Fishing Adventure Underwater" (albeit in-between the rolling of my eyes & shaking of my head....)
...& I found it depressingly bad.
Even Mrs Clonker was unimpressed!

"better than the Mrs selecting something to watch"
I doubt that very much. I'd be interested to hear what you think about it though if you have around an hour or so of your life to waste.

I've wasted more time than I care to think watching things like Game of Thrones & all the spin off rubbish to keep me in 'credit' for many years fishing programme wise, so your doubts are unfounded

Yeah, but they're all repeats
@whataclonker, I took one for you, if you don't like worm eating (and associated diarrhea) , lots of man kissing and the unusual murky underwater footage...it's not for you.
I still like the lighter side of the programme, drives me nuts taking it all too seriously, ringing in unneeded change and proclaiming you've craked the code from a random take
