I have no clue mate. But now you mention it, the fish does seem to have a big dent/scar close to the gill plate. But the gill plate all seems there.
I'll ask him, although I am quite sure that was on a social type weekend at a completely new lake/venue for Jacko, just like Sam below. He's a very good angler, catches loads. He's only just started using our hook baits last couple of weeks, he's very impressed going by what he has caught and said since he got them.
He is another person to mention that if there are any cats in your lake, the GPB2 is like crack cocaine for them. To be 100% avoided if you do not wish to catch them. Unless you are after them .....
.
We will be completely up to date with all orders again this week, Any outstanding orders that could not go last week, will be going tomorrow. I've just got back from holiday and have a load of PM's on here again regarding orders. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, ALWAYS contact us via text or WhatsApp message on our work mobile (number on contact page of website). You will get a near instant reply. Email or PM's on here, they might never even get seen is the reality.

Might as well post them here too, the brace shot has upset quite a few new age carpers on Faceache today, loads in fact.
From a strictly no fishing venue in London. No name, completely off the radar. Epic IMO. Controversial for some though 😂

It's absolutely traumatised some kids holding 15lb commons in their profile pics. Grown men too. Apparently I'm a noddy, Matts a thief (fishing rights) and the entire world might end 😆

That's an incredible picture. There's a rawness to it.

Kids these days..... I have always thought the same thing mate. When I first showed that photograph, it had to be with the entire background blurred, which totally ruined the photo.
That's a very special carp, from a large London drinking water reservoir. Not the King George.
This S2 muncher below was from the KG. Another truly epic big carp.

Whilst I was away in Brazil on holiday we needed a load of 10mm corkballs which make our 12mm corkball hook baits. They have just increased in price, from approx £210 including vat per 5000... Up to £370 per 5000.
This is just stupid. Things are on the increase, but not to that pisstaking extent. Clearly our cork ball prices are about to increase again when our current rolled stock runs out completely. We cannot near double our prices, which is being put onto us.
Not sure what will happen regarding these in the future. They are literally becoming untenable now with these crazy price increases.

Is there an alternative mark ? You'd think nowadays they'd have found something that can replicate cork

No Carl. Cork plays a very important part in our hook baits and not just for buoyancy. It's a completely natural product. This is all to do with the old man who died of Covid in Portugal in 2021 and to a degree us leaving Europe too. These kind of high quality cork balls are cut from one piece of solid cork. Anything else is a mulch of glue and cork. Crap. The machinery that he used was sold, along with everything else just after he died. I know this, because we actually looked into purchasing it when we found out that he had passed. But unfortunately we did not find out soon enough, and it had already all been sold by the family.
He made 95% of the cork balls used by UK carp fishing. It left a vacuum where for a year, demand far outsripped supply. That's why we stopped selling 16mm cork balls. The 12mm corks we used were impossible to obtain in the quantities that we required. Now anyone making these things are just taking the utter piss.
