Big respect for Martin. He’s been catching them for decades now.

Martin Clarke bagged his second 60lb plus UK carp in 12 nights which we think is probably a first. Also caught on The Herb.

Fair play to Martin, what a year he is having.

Just back from a mega trip to Sumbar, myself and nine Handcraft lads caught over 450 carp including:
1x 70lb
9x 60lb
20x 50lb
90x 40lb
170x 30lb

We went through 600kg of The Herb.

Hi lads.
Glad things are going well for you all.
I have just returned from Croatia and the fishing was incredible!
Many of our lads took the new sting pink, squids, deep c and herb boilies.
I have no idea how many carp we caught but it was hundreds!
You know it’s prolific when you return 40s and even 50s without photos.
As a group they are all loving the sting pinks and I had a feeling they would be popular!
The new hookbaits are coming along and we will be making more test batches this week hopefully.
Apologies for the lack of content on here but I’ll catch up in winter 🌧️😂😂

Not sure if it will be this year.
We have just been far too busy to launch anything else.
We are very happy with the most up to date version of the squid bait. It’s a nice dark chocolate brown colour, and smells nice. Just waiting to see what’s happening to the squid hydro that goes in it as it’s about to change

This week has been particularly crazy!
I keep telling myself that it will soon be winter and I can sit around drinking tea in the office 😂

You haven't got any spare minutes. You used them all up rolling boilies

Personally i think the 15mm comes out slightly larger than some 15mm i have used in the past.
