Energy is very expensive in UK? Some lights in the studio would help..😅

Always carry a proper care kit. Mine includes ulcer swab to clean wounds when required, propolis and orabase powder to seal body wounds. I believe there is now a 3 part kit you can get specifically for carp. Use on every capture and only keep the fish out of the water long enough to weigh and photograph

Are 5500xtd good for 13ft rod ? Can it cast 110m ?

Speaking about the cheap bastard that I am, when I bought the Ultegra's XTD were 120E/piece....and that was 10 years ago..... They are still as brand new with 1 out of 4 having only a little scratch on 1 spool.... Spod still spods at 200meters and catches catfish the size of small cars. Carbon washers were 3E per set, now if you want to replace the washers are 7E per set...... I have 2 Aero Technium MSG.....but I always take those 4 XTD, because I do not need more..... I've seen Daiwa crack apart in time, but I doubt that those are because of Daiwa, and more about abuse of the owner......but god damn, my Ultegras are 10 years and don't show it (I use them for feeder fishing, carp fishing, casting, they are my go to reel at a cheap price) ..... Emblems are great, but at a greater price, and need like you said an upgrade for the drag (but I;ve upgraded my ultegras to carbon to, so it's a tie)..... but a bit more expensive for fairly the same things..... And at this point in time paying 300E for a reel, XR's have exploded in price, or a sweet Daiwa Emblem, they kinda seem bonker for thinking I'll bin 4 reels that have stood the test of time and have enough memories to write books about them.....

My top tip for carp care is i always always carry propolis mouth and body treatment for every session throughout the year i use bottles of the stuff as carp anglers we owe it to the carp and ourselves to protect the carp for the future,great video carper gear great value for money.👍 products.

Great review mate. Helped me make a decision and I'm going for the fox because of the extra lid storage and the fact it allows the different size containers to fit more easily. Aside from that also think I will go for the Fox rig boxes again flexibility with interchangeable lids will allow me to streamline depending on where I'm going.

The basic one you can search online and get exactly same box for just over a 5er

Code doesnt work😢

Hello, je regrette de ne pas parler anglais car la traduction automatique est presque incompréhensible même si parfois elle est très drôle , votre chaîne a l'air de très bonne qualité , Merci.

Always have a bucket of water at the side of the cradle.make sure carp safety gear is out before your rods.and always carry carp care for missing scales and mouth wounds

Unhook the fish in the net and take net off handle before lifting out,easier to lift a net without a handle. And loosen line,seen so many people lift their rod/net & pull the hook out as they do...Can you recommend a decent winter suit? Been looking at Trakker cr3 & dam xtherm due to 8000mm rating but mixed reviews online.

Hi all, not sure if top tip but I've learnt this the hard way. Agree with net and mat ready to go BEFORE your rods go out AND ENSURE you mat is on level ground, had a nice fish slipping away at 2 in the morning which is not fun. Hope that helps someone 🎣🐟

What bag was it .? What u got now .?

My carp care tip... I ran out of carp care spray. Couldnt get any from my local tackle shop. Was advised that Betadine Green antiseptic spray is as good as anything that is on the carper market. Its waterproof and an acceptable antiseptic on my local carp fishery.

I am returning to carp fishing after several years out for family reasons. Carp Tax is exactly that! Unbeliebable prices if anything is associated to carp fishing! Shopping around, even on some of the "import" websites, you can find some real bargains!

Preparation for weighing and photogrphy whilst the fish is rested. Resting is key along with plenty of water at hand whilst it is on the bank.

My carp care tip is to get your landing net and cradle/unhooking mat out and ready before you even think of getting your rods out. Far too often do people leave this until after a rod is in the water by which time (if your lucky) it could be too late!

Just bought a set of the emblems ( gold spools)absolutely brilliant reels the best I’ve ever used

Take your time with the fish making sure to be gentle in the unhooking and netting process, have your carp care kit ready

Main think is look after the carp an have every think ready before you take the carp out of the water have your carp care kit close to hand to treat hook holds an wounds on the fish and enjoy your fishing that fish could your pb

I have light set of Daiwa emblem br 25 a reels with kaizen 12 feet rods and 0.24 braided line. I Dont know much about this stuff but those work like dream. cant think anything i would improve. Light set with really good cast range.

my carp care tip is to have everything ready before the alarm even goes off, great video, good luck everyone! 🎣🎣

You can't beat good old propolis. Essential piece of tackle for anyone who cares about fish welfare. Great video as ever @caravancarpers 👌🏻👍🏻

Brilliant review quality stuff 👍🏻🔥

I am quite a beginner in the carp fishing world, but you defo need to have all your care items nicely prepared and within close reach so you don't keep the fish out of the water longer than needed for weighing and a pic.

My carp care tip is always dry your carp care kit in sunlight and if your fishing another lake disinfect ur gear stop disease.

I have the cradle great item only one thing there is no drain holes it the retainer is a great idea to safe space

As allways a great video,best wihes from germany,eric

Always use a mat

Even better just look at course gear No camo tax on it

My carp care tip is to have absolutely everything prepared before taking the fish out of the water. Treatment and weighing products by the mat/cradle, camera setup and ready, plenty of fresh water in the bucket and lots of it on the mat before the fish goes on there.

My best tip would be to unhook in the net to get the rod out of the way then secure the net and let the carp rest while you relax after the fight and get all the mat scales and photographic gear ready so you are calm and focused on the job in hand 🎣🎣

Great review lee.ive got the solar p1 stainless it was ridiculously expensive but the misses treated me,still like new 4 years on.im also getting old and tight 😂

Ive missed your honest reviews. So glad tackle Tuesdays are back

I’ve really enjoyed your videos especially comparing products like the tackle boxes but I’m most impressed by the carp tackle weigh sling that folds up. Please keep up the product reviews as they really help deciding on stuff. Much grassios

Wychwood mat and Wychwood sling and Wychwood bucket with rope but when I got the money I will buy Poseidon Angelsport tackle ... Wychwood is amazing but Poseidon is the best quality on the market and the highest price of course 😅😢😮

I really like your videos. Keep em coming. I live in the states and carp fishing getting more momentum. Carp care is also being promoted on more and more social media groups. My tip is to have a good photo taking setup and learn to use it and prepared before taking the fish out of the water. There is not very many people around when you catch here so we have to take pictures alone.

Appreciate the as ever review mate, i also hope you're feeling better

Any Bucket full of fresh water from the lake, refresh regularly when warm , keep the carp wet and safe when in the cradle

Propolis. Always make sure you have some to treat the any signs of distress or wounds on the fish.

I would have everything ready plus have carp care liquid to hand so can put on carp mouth and any other parts, and I would also have the nd water pump next to where I was taking pictures do would always have plenty of water to hand to keep the carp wet and safe and I’ll put the carp in my carp cradle with high sides

All your gear set up first, landing net cradle/mat, retainer, a decent floodlight on a tripod for those 3am takes along with the trusty headtorch I keep mine on those little magnetic hooks on the pram hood of the bivvy, forceps and care kit in a small container or pouch. Just knowing where everything is makes a big difference

I lost my sling somewhere while I was batshit drunk... might look into this one

Always wet ur carp mat with fresh lake water before putting fish on it in hot wheather

my tip doesn't save money but does save some heart ache. Don't be tight and change your hook links and main line as soon as they start to look worn. The fish I've lost due to a hook link or main line letting me down is unbelievable, all that time on the bank and then not landing a fish because I'm too tight to spend a few pounds keeping my kit in good condition

My Top tip has already been said make sure all your carp care kit is ready before you start fishing also if you see a beginner hooked into a fish take the time and offer to show them how to go through the process properly 👍

The carp sling and bag is only what Shimano made 15 years ago even foldable & in a very good welded seam bag so nothing new! The carp cradle is also very much along the lines of the shimano from 16 years ago

My carp care tips would be to say it starts with playing the fish. Don’t bully it into the net, play it, tire it out and the fish will have less energy to flap about on the bank and hurt its self. Have a bucket of water ready next to your unhooking mat/cradle, but make sure the water hasn’t been sat in the sun and got warm. Wet your unhooking mat/cradle before putting the fish on it as they can get really hot sat in the sun. Make sure you are prepared! Get your net and mat/cradle set up BEFORE you cast your rods out. You might get a fast take and have nothing ready to deal with the fish. Have a carp care kit with you AND use it. I would use the Gardner intensive carp care kit And lastly, don’t mess about with the fish after netting it. Get it out, photos, weighed and back in the water as quickly as possible.
