I could only think he'd been involved in the distribution or something to even get close to that figure. Which was ultimately given to cc Moore I believe anyway. So maybe he lost out on that kick back which had been agreed? His Mrs is surely just part of the package rather than paying both? Just give her free gear as a sweetener. Seems unrealistic for a bait firm to be able to give 25k a year + tackle + bait. Would they really make that back in sales?

Was having this same discussion with a friend last night it does seem a ridiculously large amount of money. I'm guessing it will have been two wages his and the wife's and if it was over an extended period it could be possible I suppose.

That wouldn't surprise. What with the other rumours of stock being held up at ferry ports due to payment issues. Nash bait closing supposedly because it wasn't viable.
Ether he jumped ship. Or they weren't renewing his contract anymore.
So the lucky company's FOX.. Good luck to all involved.

I should've been more precise mate.
Historically I've only ever watched Pitchers & his mate on the challenge & MPs own films, and to my knowledge I only remember them using CCM.
I've zero interest in any of the 'other' Fox social/media people who ever they maybe, I saw a 'stilll' of Mozza years ago and though I think in person he's probably a sound guy, the silly gawp put me off.

Quote... It looks like after asking various bait to tout there wares for the privilege of there sponsorship. The lucky company seems to be CCMoore.. that's good of them.
I like this bloke, his videos are excellent, I've said it on this thread before.... But this announcement video made me a bit sad to be honest, it was an absolute cringe fest.
When you give up life in the UK to make videos in Europe.... You need to be paid if you don't have a couple of million in the bank. So all this about 'touting wares' from various bait firms to study the best bait as you put it is clearly not real. Money talks. You can't have great bait & zero money. Just be honest, or don't make up rubbish to cover that fact or it just makes people who understand cringe.
I'll say it again though, his videos are excellent. I've never watched carp videos, they just don't interest me whatsoever & never have. This blokes stuff is very different and I can watch him.
Don't lose your realness Samir, it's a very big part of your appeal.

This is from a post put up on Insta.. if you get a chance give it a watch it makes good viewing...
CCMoore must feel so privileged.. all the other unlucky bait company's must be crying in to there mixing bowls on missing out..
Is this how sponsorship works these days amongst the great and the good in the angling world. Inviting company's to bid for the privilege...

Interesting idea, it surprises me that none of the big outdoor pursuit brands haven't latch onto the money Carp angling can bring in. Brands like North face, Patagonia, Adidas Terrex etc. Maybe the moneys not there as much as we think. To small fry. Not the wright image maybe. I for one won't wear any Angling branded outdoor stuff as I know from experience that the performance and quality ain't there with a lot of it...
Sorry went totally of Topic there.. I'd imagine Samir needs sponsorship to help fund what he does. I know recently he has taken on guiding work as well as the content creation side of thing he does.

In reply to Post #87
I agree, and that's kind of my point, its a older generation using the baits and that customer won't be around forever. I also think there are a lot more modern bait companies making equally good baits, but they have the social presence to appeal to the younger generation and to ensure longevity.
If you go back to the 90's early 0's there were very few big companies about and those companies, to me, should be at the top off the tree now. Nutrabaits is a shadow of of its former self, Solar and Nash are gone, the modern contenders like DNA etc are thriving. The bait world is a bitchy one, and it was worse back then than it is now if you ask me, but I can't comment from a social media pov as it doesn't interest me.
Samir has the power to be sponsored yet use alternatives depending on situation, like the pellets in his last vid. That honesty is part of his appeal to me. I also think he's one of the few who can appeal to old and young alike, it seems to be one or the other nowadays, unless your the likes of Terry Hearn.

This whole concept that Anglers in the limelight must be tied to a bait company must be out dated by now. Being an angler that does this style of fishing, and not being able to use whatever is easiest and avaliable local must be a bit of a handbrake on your fishing at times. I would love to see more anglers break away from the tackle and bait industry, and do their own fishing, efficiently and using the gear they want. If done well, I'd imagine financially they could earn a lot more by doing partnerships with companies outside this industry.

In reply to Post #85
I think the difference is, there's plenty of blokes who've been using Mainline/Nutrabaits and if I may, I'll add Essential Baits, since the 90's. I highly doubt there's kids today who will be using Munch baits in 20 years time.
I have those days burned into my memories. The bait, the adverts, the waters the baits were used on, the anglers using the bait, and the fish caught on them.
Without trying to sound harsh, no-one has an absolute scooby do what Munch/Monster etc contributed to the aura of carp fishing five years ago because theres a generation now who have the attention span of a blue bottle.
Longevity in sales comes with quality, and that is evident in the companies that need to sell themselves, and those that don't.

The guy is a top class film maker. I've no idea what the likes of Nash pay him, but if it's only free bait, I don't see why he would need to sell his soul for a couple hundred quid of bait. Sack of Tigers would cover most of his fishing I've watched. Realistically he could be dealing with Netflix, or high end production houses, not pissing about with bait and tackle brands.

Is he leaving because he wants to? Or has his hand been forced? Wouldn't surprise if Nash with the closure of the bait side of things were cutting back on there sponsored anglers. He's probably got all the tackle he will ever need. But you do need bait. And with the amount he probably uses. He'll need a sponsor sharpish.. But good luck to him and the Mrs. He does put out some cracking content.

You're absolutely obsessed with big baps Matthew
Do you remember those two ex below from a few years back? You were completely fixated by those big baps too I seem to recall
I watched quite a few more of his videos last couple of days. Including the one at the start of this thread. I can see why locals would get the ump with the films. But the films themselves are top notch. He's definitely easy to watch. Most carp videos I tried to watch previously, I get bored so rapidly and turn them off. Not the ones I've watched of his so far.

There are several ‘unwritten rules' which Samir is happy to break.
French anglers don't like that movies are made from their public lakes.
It draws too much attention after the release, messing it up for the locals.
Numerous of examples here: Some lakes in the alps, canals in Belgium, ... are packed with UK or Dutch anglers since the release of a YouTube movies of these specific venues.

Had a watch as well, funny stuff with the bird watching outfit, but i do have to say that for rocket scientists and doctors it was all pretty mellow, meaning much more hostility seems to be the norm these days. Having said that, yeah f em, and yes as an angler you are more vulnerable than during many other activities. And also, many, many waters in la france where you can still enjoy excellent fishing in total peace, but also way too many area's where this is a problem.

I watched these last night Matt. I don't do YouTube fishing videos whatsoever, but I got stuck in some MTT poker tourney on the laptop until the early hours of this morning. I watched this one & the river Lot one while the missus watched horror films on the TV most of the night.
I like this bloke, he's very easy to watch compared to most. He let them have it & stood his ground, but I make you right.... As a fellow Thames angler you know that once that stuff goes down with a group of young bucks like that.... Staying there for the night under those circumstances is just asking for trouble.
He's there on his own, with his motor in the car park which they are threatening, he did the right thing to go.
I'm going to watch the third one in that bucket list series later.

Really enjoyed parts 1&2. Something a little different to the majority of films that are put out. Does it really matter if some of it isnt,( or appears ) quite as 'off grid' as it actually is? It's a format I haven't seen before and consequently more enjoyable....anyhow,arnt these films a big of escapism for many of us? If they inspire one or two carpers to follow suit, then fair play to Samir/House of Nash!!

In reply to Post #39
I really enjoyed these, I think his editing has come on a lot, at first it was more just vlog style, now much more than that. His talking to camera bits are better too, less repetitive and clearer language.
In particular in these film I thought the soundtrack was excellent and really matched the vibe of the films.
Also the drone shots (often coinciding with the good music) obviously actually suit the theme well with the biking parts but also the asthetic of the scenery, with it being a river you get that view of a linear element going off into the distance with the bike follwing it. Better than just token overhead lake shots.

In reply to Post #39
IMO he hold the rod in that way just to have the tip as high as possible out off dangerous underwater snags close to the bank. I did it when I'm in that situation as well (not that I fish with 6ft rods, obviously ) when there's something dangerous under the rod tip it's natural to lift the rod as high as possible.
That rods seems to me more than a toy that a fishing rod I saw it struggle in a lot of situations during the film. In that adventure they did their job for what they are designed.
The film is very enjoyable, as almost all he have done, the footage are well edited and the quality is high and full of drama as in his style.

Just started part 2, Pt 1 was tremendous, really authentic I thought. If you listen to the nash podcast, his back story about the bike element is quite interesting, he was also a bike mechanic.
Most Nash films I cannot watch, but these are up there as good as anything I have watched.
EDIT: I've sent an email to Nash BTW, to get them to sort out the way he holds his rod.

Oh yeah I agree. I'm just countering the peolle in this thread that seem to think he HAD to do it on the bike. He chose the bike because its different, and makes interesting viewing. He absolutely could have fished 10x more effectively using a different mode of transport.

Was he travelling alone ? Some of those drone shots of him on his bike, how does that work ? I haven't watched it all so there might be an answer that I'm not aware of.

It's his job at the end of the day. Each video needs to be a bit more "extreem" and more of an adventure than the last. He really could have just done it in a car, but it wouldn't look anywhere near as exciting.
I know your not 'having it' and I agree re the car but he did actually say why he was doing it and I say full credit to him. He's injected some excitement into what he was finding to be 'just his job' but more than that, on a personal level he wants to keep himself entertained so his love of fishing doesn't get stale...quite refreshing to be honest.
He managed to combine rekindling his love of bikes with refreshing his love of fishing and he took us along, what's not to like, hats off to him
and the only cost to you... a bit of your time and some electricity.

Naaa. I'm not having it.
I'm naturally sceptical, but especially when it comes to television amd media like this. It's always going to be spun to make a good story. They're trying to sell you something at the end of the day,
If he was there to catch fish, A car, so he could carry proper sized rods would have been able to get where I've seen so far. And anywhere else could be accessed by boat, like he does in his other videos.
Don't get me wrong it's great viewing, but it's clearly playing to the cameras and trying to create a video, rather than trying to have an adventure.
Its like, we know bear Grylls didn't really sleep in a camel all night, and survive only on his own pee and snake eyeballs, but we still enjoy watching it. It's entertainment.

In reply to Post #27

From what I saw some of the spots were totally inaccessible by car and he would likely have had to carry/push his gear for miles in order to get to the spots and do a hell of a lot of walking just to check out if there is access to the water, which a lot of the time there wasn't.

Hey I'm not putting him down for it or slating him he can do what he likes each to their own and all that, listening to the podcast with Hassan it sounded like there were a few at HQ that were not happy with his last big pushing the boundaries video with the Jet-ski idea (still a great video in my book even if the jet skis were a failure), I think this one was why he probably choose a solo adventure.
I noticed one little edit failure in from episode one finishing and early in episode two, not so much a journey along its path to the end but a bit of returning to the same spot on the other bank after a few days with not a lot to show but I get it hes got to produce a film.
I take my hat off to his ambition and enthusiasm but I do like a bit of continuity when its all put together.

Fair play to him, I'd rather look to be making angling easier as I get older and the longer I've been doing it but whatever floats his boat I guess, he's like one of those sex addicts that's pushed it as far as he can go and looking for the next big kink to get him off, he's reached the upper level now and pushing the boundries travelling to Tokyo for some Jap shatting whilst I'm still looking at local Thai massage parlors with a happy ending.

FFS !!! the guy is following a frigging river some parts have a good road and access and he try`s a couple of days in them
while other sections difficult or impossible to reach with a car
so this is where his bike comes into play he is trying to find and try these spots
but he aint gonna drive past a good looking spot thats got good access is he ? the main goal is to catch some fish isnt it ?
all in all he shows everything the good and bad and his video`s are a breath of fresh air
a very likable chap and a bloody good angler too

Watched the first one last night.
Looks like a mega adventure, certainly not one I would want to do alone. It's not a complaint....but I feel its been edited slightly to make it look like he's exploring untouched virgin land that has never seen a human. But it all looks well trodden and well fished. In fact, I've not seen any reason yet why he wouldn't have used a car. But that's media, they have to spin a story to make it a bit more exciting.

Decent enough viewing but will someone teach him how to hold a fishing rod.
Its likely that he isn't holding it "properly" because those rods are only 6ft and likely have a VERY different action to a standard 12ft rod, can you imagine trying to play a 60lb carp on a 6ft rod and not holding it differently to a normal rod?

While I enjoyed it and get his reasons for doing it, some of it did make me wonder. Part of the freedom of the bike was to get to places other anglers weren't but near every place he went was a obviously well used swim.
I'm glad he took us along though, maybe not the picking up of litter bit though :-x
