Super cool! Really enjoyed see the vintage kit.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Awesome 👍 will try and do a winter session once it gets proper cold 🥶

[@christhomas5794]

Brilliant video I remember when I was a kid using kit like that with the Cork handles Brilliant well done Sean

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@matthewcadle7200]

Mono hook links still catch so so many carp. I love a good old mono rig with a soft hair. Been binging on your vids as am not getting out in cold.😆

[@TheFishingBloggers]

In an age of braid, coated braids and stiff fluorocarbon..the mono rig is definitely different! You never see it used by many….

Hey mate, thanks for the mention! Cheered me right up👍👍 yeah I had 3 from Chandos over 2 nights in around 3 ft of water haha. Love the video on the old school gear, makes you realise how spoiled we are now. Lovely little venue Trinity isn’t it. Thanks again, look forward to your next video tight lines 🎣

Well done mate really brings back memories good and bad ihad a couple of those Mitchell knuckle whacker reels but they done the job.lol 👍

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Cheers Kevin, glad you liked it 👍

[@twincamspit]

Great to see, still got my old fibreglass rods and Mitchell 300 from nearly 50 years ago in the loft, great memories of the shock first time I hooked (and ultimately lost) a decent Common on that kit :)

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Dust them off and give them a day out, mega fun! 👍

[@michaelbrace3834]

Still got my super xl and they still work great video thanks for the uploads you have kept me going must go fishing need to be outdoors fresh air thank you

Not far from where I fish shaun I fish the canal dock in bridgwater never been to that venue looks a good one I still use my old woolworths ledgering rod when I'm home gave a fiver for it in 1970 I now use it as a feeder rod and I've had many a good day with it 🎣👊💯

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Never fished the Bridgwater docks or canal, walked along it a few times. I’ve got a Masterline John Wilson quiver tip from the 90s, great rod but it’s got a permanent bend as it’s caught so many fish over the years! 😂

[@karlwatkins2331]

@@TheFishingBloggers the canal dock is a very hard water for carp but if you like tench perch and pike great spot I don't drive so it's easy for me to get to you should give the dock a whirl if yr down again I'm at hinckley point working so it's my place to fish and relax 🎣👊💯

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@karlwatkins2331 sounds good, one day I’m sure I’ll have a go!

I really enjoyed this video, I think shows like Monster Carp have a lot to answer for in terms of the proliferation of 3lb+ TC rods. They have a firm them of cast to the moon, spod out an island of bait etc, which just isn't needed on most venues. A 2lbTC rod is generally fine for carp up to 20lbs provided there aren't lots of snags and its way more fun playing them on lighter rods. I just wish the manufacturers with offer up something in those lighter TCs.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Totally agree. I’ve got myself a new set of 2.75lb rods so that it’s more enjoyable on smaller venues. Fishing should be fun, I think modern anglers lose sight of of the reason we go!

[@JamesThomas-wf9sl]

@@TheFishingBloggers I assume those are new Prologic rods? Better than three pounders I guess. I’ve kept a pair of two pounders that I mainly use for Pike fishing. It’s a shame like I say that no one is making lighter rods these days. I’d use them for the majority of my fishing if I could.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@JamesThomas-wf9sl yea a set of Prologic C-Series 9ft 2.75lb, it’s hard to find a light rod nowadays. Better off using barbel rods 🎣

[@matthewcadle7200]

Harrison do some light tc rods

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@matthewcadle7200 nice 👌

[@philthomas4368]

Awesome Shaun tip-top video! Reckon you should have gone monkey climbers too

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I didn’t have time to dig some out, will get some sorted for a winter session 🥶

[@marchanley9838]

My first reels Mitchell match

[@marchanley9838]

Thank god we have baitrunners to day don't like the way the spool acted

[@TheFishingBloggers]

The old reels are a nightmare, good fun tho 👍

[@Aitch412]

Vintage gear is all I use now... Cane rods Abu 77's... its not the rods and reels that catch fish... its the last 3 feet of your end game and watercraft...

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Modern gear has its place, depends on the venue and situation. It’s mega fun using older tackle though 👍

[@Aitch412]

@@TheFishingBloggers sadly I think that modern gear is too brutal... rods are now in the 4lb TC bracket, huge reels, gear you would spod with only a couple of years ago... and often only used on small waters where the fish run to 20lbs or so... I'll stick with me old knackered vintage stuff ta...👍

[@jamesmarshall9356]

Sorry just watched your explanation of it lol

[@terryweight9949]

i remember back in the day well your last few outings how sad you looked blanking ☹ but back in the day now the smile 😊is back and it's good to see back in the day 👍

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Back in the day I actually caught fish 😂

[@darwindavies6979]

back in the day now back in the future 😎epic watch alway fun watching old school tackle being used topdangling onto the next adventure tightlines look forward to the next vid 🎣 👊

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Cheers Darwin, was good fun 👍

[@matthewbarrett9054]

That's not vintage, it's modern compared to some of my stuff :) Great video.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I’ve got some cane rods but think they snap on the first fish! 😂

[@jamesmarshall9356]

Good job fella. Just out of interest how old are you? And how long you been Dangling? Just made me think when you kept saying 'BACK IN THE DAY' you used to use , like super specialists, surely there were newer ranges ' back in the day' or was that all that was available when you first angled for carp?

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I’m 36, been fishing about 30 years. Ive been fortunate to be taken by my dad from a young age and started out with a float rod trotting on the river and learned my way through to carp fishing. I was probably 7/8 when I first went carp fishing, but didn’t do it regularly until I was probably 10.

[@catchingcarpwithjohn]

Love that you have gone back in time with rods ! Brings back memories ! one of you fish the old set up and one fish the new set up 😝 little challenge will be good to watch

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Good idea 👍

[@IanThompsonmohaanozz]

wow

[@Familyman0838]

Absolutely loved this iv done this myself a few times amazing video nice to see something different and a great bit of fun

[@TheFishingBloggers]

Thanks for the feedback, hope to do a winter one and get the old gear back out for another go!

[@robertlovell7361]

My dad still uses 306's (the bigger version) I don't think he will ever change them

[@TheFishingBloggers]

That’s cool, if they do the job then why not!

[@stephenport4768]

I'd go late 80s/90s retro with the Bamford conversion optonics with a diawa amorphous whisker Kevin Nash rods coupled to some shimano aero baitrunners dental floss for the hair and Richworth boilies

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I upgraded from the Mitchell 300s to the Shimano baitrunners, still got the knackered things tucked away! The Richworth Tutti-Frutti were the one 👌

[@stephenport4768]

Could never afford them on paper round money but like how you're fishing I had a Browning and Ryobi reels and just slackened off the clutch

[@hardcoreado16gtrestoration78]

Nothing like the old school tackle but I do have a modern bivvy and sleeping gear. They are my favorite optonic version by the way

[@TheFishingBloggers]

I dust it all off every now and then, it’s great fun!

[@hardcoreado16gtrestoration78]

Most of my older rods are around 1 3/4 tc but I do have some SU Tag Barnes Super Carps as well as a few other beefier ones @@TheFishingBloggers

[@nickflitter7172]

Were you fishing at 125yrds at oxlease with both rods on a bin lid?

[@TheFishingBloggers]

100% 😂 nope I was fishing about 20yards on the bottom of the shelf with scalded pellets wrapped around an in-line lead. The rods were in a gap where the reeds had been flattened as back then there wasn’t a swim in sight!

[@darrenfowler8308]

Well that made me smile all the way through the video,remembering what we used ‘back in the day’ 🙂. I still have an old split cane rod tucked away somewhere. Plus match gear I used in the 80’s and 90’s. Made me want to dig it all back out. Great video Shaun.

[@TheFishingBloggers]

That’s awesome Darren, the aim was to take ppl back and reminisce. I’ve got some cane rods handed down, but don’t think they’d handle another fish 😂

[@darrenfowler8308]

@@TheFishingBloggers don’t think my cane rod would either and don’t want to end up breaking it 😂. Think it’s about 70 years old but don’t know for sure. It’s older than me and I’m getting on a bit 🤫😂. The match gear however would be fun to get back out 🎣

[@TheFishingBloggers]

@@darrenfowler8308 dust it off mate and give it a go 👍
