This is what happens when you put salesmen on a pedestal.
"power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
If these claims are correct and those using the chemical are knowingly using it and knowingly know of their dangers to ecology, they need to be in the job centre by monday. No ifs or buts.

Similar thoughts to me. People have been using it, simple, only a fool would think any different due to the amount of feedback see
Makes a mockery out of their catches, watercraft and all

That stuff has been around for donkeys, more than likely a few threads on it on here from years ago.

I guess in the same way that Calpol is the same principle as Tramadol.

The obvious, you dont get smoke without fire and the carp fishing grapevine is usually not far off
Are they going to admit to it, are they ****, catches would loose all credability and they would be frowned on forever more wherever they went

I tried it many years ago when it was brought out. Didn't seem to make any difference to catch rate, so stopped using it.

The real deal in proper quantities however obviously tells a different story

So the evidence you have that they definitely used an illegal pharmaceutical ingredient is that the ‘carp grapevine' says so? The biggest bunch of bitchy, gossiping old women around

It is, but I depends who you talk to. Like I said, you don't get smoke without fire 🔥
Is using hormones a problem if it is not damaging to the fish or the environment, don't think so myself. If it's dangerous for the user than more the fool them but you could say that with a few ingredients
What is wrong though is, if your using hormones and not admitting to it, that's cheating everybody else really for me
Yep I'm using them, interesting...

Well if it is all true there could be a few Carpology articles need rewriting from, "no bull**** just good solid angling" to "complete bull****, nothing like good angling"....

How much have you heard on the carp grapevine yourself that you would not dare to put on here? Plenty I bet.
We are a very small community in the grand scheme of things, however due to the balance of things, defamation laws and threats of legal action isn't far away.
Realistically, who is going to put their head above the parapet and say "Right, Angler A is using banned substances, Tackle Manufacturer B nicked fish for his french water, Syndicate owner C got caught moving dodgy fish in France and does it here too, Bait company D sells coke from its warehouse"
Who's going to risk a CCJ/Mortgage/Job for that? We(some) know it happens, has happened, but I don't have X, Y or Z type of money, and money talks, hence why these practices occur. It takes a brave soul like those who go on podcasts to go against the grain and out these people, thankfully it doesn't take much to put the puzzle together. After all, small communities know which colour underwear you have out on the washing line within no time.
