I love watching your videos I wake up really early to watch your videos

[@grahamunderwood9353]

looks great only thing is as angler theres always some new tackle that grabs our attention sooner or later your going to need a bigger room ❤

[@pmmadeira82]

For 3 days straight I've done nothing else but play a fishing game on the computer and watch your videos, I'm temporarily unemployed because of a knee injury and trying to avoid a downward spiral into depression because it's been 2 months like this, but seeing you and Alex together is so wholesome, heartwarming and all the videos are so inspiring that it's made me want to go back to fishing again, but I left all my gear behind after a messy divorce. Seeing your channel grow gradually as I go through older videos to the newer ones is also inspiring, good job mate, keep it up!

[@mateo7076]

You have been a perfect example of what a fishing youtube channel should be. And whereas us helping you is true, you also helped a lot of us with your videos. My dream tackle would actually be a bedchair because of my back. Keep up with the videos. ❤

[@fishingwithnathan09]

I am 14 now and I have been fishing for a little over a year now and have realy gotten in to carp fishing. I have been wanting a korda tackle box for a bit now as my current tackle box is a bit small and doest fit all of my carp fishing gear. Your videos have realy helped me with my fishing over the past year especially your fishing tutorials channel.

[@AlfieJack123]

Hi Carl, myself (37) and Alfie my son (9) watch your channel all the time and were lucky enough to meet you at The Big One show in Farnborough this year. You signed Alfies poster, which is up on his wall. We are always thinking of items that would help us catch more fish but i think comfort on the bank is also super important and as i am 6"6' getting a bed chair that is long enough is a problem. So it would be a bed chair big enough. Thanks for all the videos without you and your brother neither myself or Alfie would have started fishing.

[@martinn_dani05]

I think this is what every angler's dream storage room looks like. Congratulation Carl !

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks for watching!

[@Noah-jn8xb]

I'm 14 now and I only started fishing last year after years and years of watching fishing videos on KZbin about it. I was completely desperate to catch any kind of fish, big or small and I finally convinced my dad to take me to the tackle shop and he told me that it is too complicated and I'm too young to go on my own as I was only 8 at the time. I was completely gutted and I carried on watching videos online until I got abit bored of it as I was unable to go. Then in the summer holidays last year when I was 13 I saw some of your videos and it reignited my addiction to something I had never done. I got some money for my birthday and I went straight back to the tackle shop and bought my very first float rod and reel to go to a commercial fishery close by with a friend and his dad who went often. After that I was completely hooked, I caught around 3 carp and I was desperate to go back the next week. After advancing some of my kit and buying a feeder rod my friend and another friend we met fishing have advanced their gear to carp fishing rods and even Bivvys while I'm still feeder fishing. They even went to Norton Disney for an overnight trip without me as I didn't have the stuff. My ask is for some basic carp fishing stuff so I can join them on their trips to bigger venues. Also Carl I am very thankful for your videos as they started me doing something I cannot stop thinking about all day in school.

[@Tiger4ever89]

that's quite my story but 10 years later... i forgot how much i loved fishing (used to fish with a normal rod, without reel) but a friend took me with him to a local river in Spain and we caught, well almost caught a big size carp.. i was hooked again.. and promised myself i will buy a rod with reel, so i did! now here i am 6 years later with a complete advanced setup for feeder fishing, and some stationary too. you are still young and with a long journey ahead of you. don't stop fishing.. is one of the most calm and thoughtful hobbies out there.

I went fishing with my dad many years ago when I was a young lad, and have been getting back into it over the last couple of years, and I'm now teaching my own son to fish (he's 5, and I now know the frustration my own dad must have gone through with tangled line and entire boxes of maggots being thrown into the lake at once!) I have most of the kit I need for us both, the only thing I have never settled on is a decent chair - something to help my poor old back getting up and sitting down all the time! Thanks to you and Alex for all the help you have given us in this awesome hobby!

[@ewancessford5496]

The thing I love most about your videos is how real you are and 'normal' you are. The way you approach fishing, your projects and content is so relatable to many and it almost feels like watching a friend. Loving the tackle room! Every angler's dream... In terms of fishing gear I crave to own most is a feeder fishing rod. I've always owned ordinary 12ft carp rods but I'd love a smaller rod with a quiver style bend that gives a whole different dynamic to fishing... I know Guru do a lovely set of feeder rods.

[@SteveMartin1971]

Amazing to see you Duo back together , separate paths in life but the same special bond that's makes you both as ONE when together again. Well done Carl/Alex both legends that have blessed our screens for years. Bless you both and Keep your vlogs coming. Steve M

[@rickcowleymidfulnessfitnes3901]

After a gap of 30 years and at the age of 57 I've started fishing again. I bought rod and tackle and although I had experience of float fishing I wanted to try carp fishing. This is where I found your channel, tutorials, your channel with your bro and now I'm with you here. The clear and precise information you give has helped me no end, you are perfect for newbies intermediates and pro's. BTW after my breakdown and near disastrous event I firstly found fitness, but now fishing... and its amazing for your mindset. Your gift to me has been your advice, and I'll keep watching and taking your advice with me. Keep up the great work, and keep enjoying your life.

[@fishwithcarl]

Wow. Super lovely comment, this made my day.

[@LayerD92]

That was a great little project and excited for all your adventures coming this year. Great to see Alex make a guest appearance as well ☺️ If you’ve got a bed chair/sleep system going spare I’ll take it off your hands. My old camp bed has seen better days and I’m in dire need of an upgrade. Keep up the good work Carl 👍🏻

[@nemus00]

Hey Carl, I am from Serbia and I've been going fishing ever since I was a little boy. I fell in love with fishing as soon as I caught my first fish and my fishing buddys were always my grandma and my little brother. After she passed away we stopped going for a while and 2 years ago my brother was hit by a car as a pedestrian. He recovered and in the past 2 years we have been going fishing more often. I have saved up some money to buy a reel and got my grandmothers old rod for lure fishing as gift from gramps, but my brother is left with no fishing equipment of that type so when we go to Danube river we share my rod and take turns. I am meerly starting to work and so I don't have enough resources to buy him a lure fishing rig and i am not signing in this competition for myself, but rather to give my brother the joy of coming along and competing against one another as when we were kids, thank you for the videos! :)

[@Gabriel-ix2in]

Loads of weights for fishing

[@nemus00]

@@Gabriel-ix2in Yeah, it's been tough these past few years. But I guess things are looking up slowly. Always nice to go casting/float fishing and emptying your mind for a few hours...

[@BigBlueGyarados]

Early last year after a long 2 weeks of night shifts I was miserable and wanted to escape the world of work and stumbled across your channel. I was instantly hooked. Carl you are an inspiration to every generation, your videos and channels are fantastic for helping any angler young, old, novice or seasoned. Hours of binge watching, A quick trip to my mums house to get my childhood novice fishing tackle was essential and since then I have hit the banks every chance I get. Wet/rainy/ blank days my passion for fishing never goes even my partner thinks im crazy standing in the pouring rain for 12 hours with nothing more than a pair of work trousers and a raincoat. My evenings consist of laying on my sofa with a cup of tea and a catch up with Carl learning as much as I can as the world of fishing brings a wave of peace to my life. Although I have slowly made progress in upgrading my tackle I still have very little in the basic equipment needed and some of my tackle is not the best due to being 12+ years old and being in storage for so long. For example my only rod (a 12ft feeder ) will spin around its self, as i cast the rod itself the handle and reel rotates freely causing my eyes to be up, down, left and right! Haha. Every angler needs Carl in their daily routine as nothing beats a long day than seeing a new Fish With Carl video has landed. Onwards and upwards I will be a follower for many many years to come👍

[@alfiemorris7736]

I (aged 16) am very pleased with the amount of fishing tackle I have , however my brother (aged 9) has been bugging to get feeder fishing with me this summer. I own the only feeder fishing rod we have so it’s mainly shared when trying to teach my brother the ways of the tip. A feeder rod and reel would provide my brother with an opportunity to share the bank with me fishing along side me instead of on top of me 😂😂. You’re videos help us a lot through a shaky start to this year. Thank you for everything you do to the fishing community and keep up the good work. Alfie :)

[@gavincash4930]

Carl it's been a joy to watch you and Alex fish and your different techniques have helped me and my son Conor on our outings fishing in different areas. We both love pike fishing and if you so happened to pick me I reckon a baitrunner reel would be a huge help to our kit. Keep up the good work Carl. Gavin

Hey Carl , I’m 14. My dream tackle would just be a good rod and reel with some equipment for carp ! I’ve been lake fishing twice and not caught anything but an eel , because we can’t afford the equipment for both me and my dad and my two brothers. All I want to do is finally catch a carp , the rivers round thetford in Norfolk are polluted with not many fish at all so catching something doesn’t usually happen.Thank you for the enjoyment you’ve given me throughout the years. I can’t wait for more incredible videos to come !!

[@BigAndy1980]

I have found your channel invaluable after taking up fishing again after 30 years. My eldest son has ADHD and I have found getting out on the bank with me helps him focus, he manages to sit for hours focusing on a float but also when not on the bank he sits for hours watching your channel. I know his dream bit of kit would be a float rod and reel setup to progress from his whip which he loves and manages to out-fish me every time with or a seatbox so he can be a bit more comfortable than having to sit on the bank and to build his tackle collection around. Keep up the excellent work!!

[@antonygreenwood4581]

After a 40 year break from fishing last September I retired from 30 plus years in the ambulance service and have to say at a dead end as I didn’t know what I was going to do with myself after 30 plus years on the front line so I was just looking at trying carp fishing and finding your videos really inspired me to have a go at carp fishing your knowledge and information taught me everything I now know about carp fishing thank you so much Carl you have turned my life around ,,, any carp tackle would be fantastic.thanks again keep up the great work many thanks Tony

[@Yoyo-01]

Hi Carl, Omi, I'm 51 this year and thankfully I found your channel last year, you've inspired me to get back a hobby I loved as a kid. I've got myself a very basic (cheap with good reviews) setup of carp rods with baitrunner reels,hooks,feeders,floats etc. I've been out quite a bit so far which is amazing as I've been struggling a lot over the past few years with poor mental health. I've got a long way to go kit-wise I'm looking at buying a seat this week or a bed chair maybe, if you've got anything you'd like to pass down I'd happily own anything of yours as a reminder of you and how much of a part your channel has played in my well being over the past year. I'm dreaming of being able to go over night fishing but I'll need a tent and a seat/bed at least for that :D Thank's again Carl for the inspiration and for making an old man happy and thank you Omi for the wonderful fish identification pictures I have purchased, they really have helped a lot :) Regards Malcolm from Rackfield.

[@StagDesigns]

Just started to pick the rod up again for the first time in years and ive always wnted a pair of polarised glasses, not only would it help my fishing massively but it also helps with my migraines when fishing. Love the videos and i cant wait to see more from you!

[@alinrobu3972]

Let me start off by saying thank you for the wonderful content you and Alex (in the past) have put out. It's because of your videos that I finally mustered up the initiative to pick up fishing again. I am not native to the UK and viewed it as a challenge to start fishing, finding spots and documenting where it's legal to fish, which areas are under a venue, and what areas are free. My job is particularly mentally demanding, and I never found the time or energy to document it myself. I saw it more as a chore than an adventure and relied on the fact that I could experience fishing adventures through the eyes of another. However, watching you and Alex struggle, overcome obstacles, and achieve so much over the course of many years, all accessible with a simple click, motivated me to take action. You reminded me that just getting out there and catching fish, big or small, provides joy in itself. This year, I set aside some money and bought my second ever fishing rod and reel. I am glad to say it was the best purchase I ever made. Now, I go fishing 2-3 times per week, even if it's just for 2-3 hours after work. Most of the time, I return exhausted and with nothing to show for, but it has done wonders for my mental health. My girlfriend always says that I have a different air about me when I come back from fishing, and occasionally she joins me too. I mostly try spinning and occasionally float fishing due to the lack of time and because the rod and reel I bought are made for spinning. However, I often dream of a day when I will catch a double-figure carp or barbel. Honestly, if my comment ends up being chosen, I would leave the choice up to you. I would ask what your most enjoyable fishing experiences are, the ones that made you feel like a child again. P.S. I definitely related to your comment about having a bamboo cane back when I was a child. I never dreamed of owning a fishing rod and reel back then since they were considered luxury items.

[@djaliviem331]

You sir are a genuine number 1 bloke. Love watching you upload new items and shows always a good watch. If I had a dream bit of kit it would be a decent rod bag I have the Sonik extractors as I try to travel small and light.

[@liamlayton8389]

I find myself binge watching you and your brothers channels. I feel like you connect with the regular angler. I would love a fishing pole, my autistic brother became obsessed with fishing after finding your channel. I gave him my my fishing pole which he loves. Its great having somebody to fish with

[@tonywagstaff8867]

Great channel and an amazing guide to all types of fishing. The way you explain yourself makes even the most complex subject, seem like childs play. I am just starting my grandson off on his own fishing adventures and anything pole related would be great for him. He has a whip that I converted to a small pole, and an old rustic box seat box, but thats about all he has. He loves your channel by the way. Keep up the good work inspiring a whole new generation to take up our wonderful sport.

[@superkoen1779]

I really hope for you to see this Carl, not necessarily to give me the item but just in general. I really enjoy watching your videos, and i LOVE the amount of effort you put into these videoes. They are so professional, calm and so inspiring and yet so motivational, i always wants to go out on the water and catch some fish after watching them. I've learned so many things over the few years i have followed. My two buddies calls me the multispecies champ, and well that can i thank you and alex for. Either your going fishing for carp, small stream fishing for chub, pike fishing or just chill videoes like this and with the kois, i'm always watching. You're videos gives me goose bumbs quite litteraly. Every time you upload a new video or one of your old videos pop up i click it and watch it, even tho i already have seen it i click it. Theres just something speicial about your videos man! My dream would be a new 2500 reel with some strong braid in a thickness of around 0,12 - 0,15, for allaround fishing like pike, and seatrout here in denmark and maybe carp, but i haven't found a carp lake in denmark yet, i am still searching tho. But yeah that is just what i need right now because my old one broke last week. it doesn't need to be a crazy expensive reel like the shimano stella or reels in that range. I'm still a kid (14) so the money for a new reel just ain't there and my parents don't really have the money either. I don't know if you are ever going to see this but keep up the good work Carl!!! You still don't fail to make smiles apear on my face and light up my days! I really look up to you. All love - Mikkel 😁

[@JacobKasperek]

I'm the only one fishing in my family (have been since around 9yo). Till I was 22 I'd have loads of problems with my gear - used same line, knot and same setup for every species since I wasn't even aware you can target species with tackles and techniques you choose. I almost gave up on my biggest hobby because I was always unsuccessful. This year (25yo) was the first one for me when I've caught more than one pike in a week (it was almost 50 of them!!!). Your vids helped me gain hope, confidence and knowledge in fishing and made it joyful again. Thanks Carl (and also Alex)! Cheers from Poland guys!

Hi Carl (and also Alex) , My name is Giles and I have enjoyed your channels for a number of years. I’m a mental health nurse, working with children and young adults, and have always valued and respected how you and your brother have spoken openly about your health and mental health . I think that you would be surprised how many young people, and adults, you have helped over the years with more than just fishing. The sorting of your tackle room is a great metaphor for this but I have to be honest and say it was the offer of tackle that has prompted me to message. I’m trying to combine my fishing with some exercise and am looking for a travel rod so that I can cycle to fish. Course or light lure. I am lucky enough to have great lakes, rivers and canals in easy cycle distances, so I do a mixture of fishing. Good luck to you both with all your channels and projects and please keep speaking openly about mental health. Thanks Giles

[@DanTheAngler]

Hi Carl! When you said you were younger and dreamed of having every rod, you pretty much stated how I feel now 😂. Currently I’m 14 and have 1 basic lure rod and reel. Personally I’d love to have an Ultra light lure rod! But all the good ones are wayyyy out if my budget. So, if my comment miraculously gets picked ( Lol ) I’d love a decent ultra light lure rod! Love the video btw well done!

Good Morning Carl I too remember having the one rod that did everything as a young boy ( I am now a pensioner so it was a few years ago ), i can relate to taking it everywhere and the joy of catching what to me were monster Gudgeon and best of all catching beautiful Rudd, i still love to fish and my dream item of tackle would be the Guru Fusion Base that would let me have just one carryall instead of separate bags that i have to carry. the garage is looking good and i hope it stays tidy 😃

[@aden7146]

I fished all my life (very similar to yourselves). I was inspired by my grandad who was a polish immigrant coming over during the war. Growing up my Grandad would find peace as my mum said away from the things he witnessed, fishing local lakes where we live and later on became the bailiff / managing the pegs. Some of my best memories were just sat on the bank with him - even photos I had when little was on the side of the bank with my grandad. As I am now a parent myself, I haven't had much time to fish and the past 7 years I've brought 2 little ones into the world - William and Arthur (5 and 2) During covid with the little ones, I feel something is missing and its that stress relief of having your own personal mental time on the riverbank / lake edge that I relate to my own personal childhood. While I want my children to learn to fish - right now I need some time and making the effort monthly to spend at least 1 day for the mental health break. I plan to bring my sons along when I get back into the flow myself. Its very selfish but with lockdown and spending so much time together we don't get a lot of personal time and its caused more issues than we realise. The piece of tackle that would help me lots would be a new float/match rod and reel as my old one deteriorated sat in the garage which was shame - I have no clue where to look on what is best right now. My previous smaller rod Im planning to build a little setup for my son when he comes with me. Side note to this comment - your content is superb, I found it recently while looking for inspriation to get me back into fishing and I found myself watching all your content - I watch a video a night so hurry up and make some more haha! In the vs pro video you was close to Doncaster - that is actually down the road from where I live.

Me and my kids have started fishing this year and have watched pretty much all your videos to learn how to fish so thank you for putting the time in because we now get to enjoy it. We have done really well at the local pond float fishing but we really want to get some carp. Tackle wise if we were lucky enough, honestly anything that can help a dad and 2 kids take the next steps. We have 3 basic cheap rods and reels

[@Seth-nf4im]

Love the vids your simple tactics of the korda basics and hair rigs have helped my catch many fish including my pb at 22 lb and gave my confidence in what i casted out

[@fishwithcarl]

Good to hear that mate! :)

[@jongreenwell9307]

My 13 year old loves your videos on fishing and your koi. He’s learned so much from you(as have I also). Tackle wise, he’d love a longer or stronger test curve carp rod as he’s getting into much larger fish now and wants to cast a tad further than his smaller one would allow. Keep up the great content

[@EmmaJane.Fishing]

Myself and my son started fishing together because of your videos! We started with float fishing and feeder fishing. We have now managed to save up and get everything we need to do an overnight fish at our local waters, apart from 1 more bivvy bed and sleeping bags! Fingers crossed we manage to save and get out this year together ❤️

[@martyncooper4822]

I would love a Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Fishing Rod. Due to having a young family i don't have much left over to afford fishing tackle. All my carp fishing tackle was handed down to me by my Grandad before he passed away. But all his tackle was from late 90's early 00's. I have never had the chance to upgrade and always feel conscious on the bank when i see everyone else with their new gear. On a separate note i have loved your channel for the past few years. I spent most of lockdown watching all your content and it really did make me fall back in love with Fishing after a couple years not going Fishing much. Thank you for the inspiration

[@AnthonyMartin-s8l]

After two strokes and only 50 years young i thought my fishing days where done for and could still be I need to find a chair that will replace my seat box as it's getting harder toget comfortable and fish keep up the good work you kept my spirits up while in hospital

[@callumnoblett4905]

Always inspiring Carl. I've laughed , cried and learnt loads from watching you and Alex over the years . A really nice hand net for trout would be my choice of tackle ...then I just need to catch a decent trout to christen it. Keep up the great work and a big hi to Omi as well. Lovely that you've got such a lovely , gentle soul to travel life's journey with you . Best wishes Callum

[@MC-mp5wx]

Looks great Carl! My dream item of tackle would be a 4ft, 8-25g spinning rod for my little girls to fish for little bass off our boat. Every cast with the 8ft rod and they hook a different part of the boat! I've hunted for one everywhere and it doesn't seem like one exists! Cheers mate, keep bringing the adventures into my dad-life!

[@denisosullivan7691]

Well that has inspired me to tidy up all my gear also! Been watching you and Alex since my son got me back into fishing some 5 years ago ( a gap of 40 years !). Have moved up to mostly carp now as us oldies like to relax on the bank and realise that I am missing a spod and marker rod setup to finding features so I can catch more! Keep up the good work !

[@stephanharrison5ih5ygt30]

Love how your videos always give that authentic feel, I see a lot that get sponsors and become so commercialised. I used to fish lures only for like perch and trout however, I fished a carp lake a couple of years ago after watching your videos and I was hooked! I only ever fish the way you show from rig setup tips and tricks and I love it. Would love to go night fishing but getting a bivy to get started is holding me back… keep up the amazing content keeping it real

[@TheDevilRogue]

It always has been a pleasure watching your channel grow and develop Carl! Keep up the good work! Much like you were, I'm still using only 1 rod, since most of our budget goes into our new house for renovation, but in case I do get picked, I've always dreamed of having a Filstar Black Shadow rod 2.7 meters long one. Take care & stay safe!

[@c0n0rr0b]

You are living the dream with a stocked up fishing room like that Lad. Its a proper Tackle haven. The dream is some proper stage-stands or a good rod pod. Made do with the same cheap rod pod for years but its showing its age now and its taken a fair battering from just about every species. I never used to think about rod support till I started on the carp fishing, now its the next tackle target.

[@danivanburen5332]

Hi Carl, I just wanted to say that your channels helped me a lot during my fishing career. Because of you, I started fishing for carp, and besides starting with fishing, that was the best choise of my life. I started to get bored with fishing foe pike, and I was thinking about stopping with fishing. Thanks to you I continued fishing and that's the best choise I could've made back then! Thanks for making all those videos and keep doing it!❤❤❤

[@stickle66]

Still the best and been following you for years .. my 8 and 10 year old look fwd to all of us sitting down and watching your latest vid .. keep it up mate ...

[@anthonystorey2953]

Thanks Carl i enjoyed your passion! It was Christmas i think i was seven or eight a new rod and reel from my parents sent me out into the cold , now sixty four years later the only thing that wiĺl tempt me out into the cold is fishing, the flame of my passion has often dimed but never gone out , winter meens Pike summer means Tench on the float so a new float rod for the job would be really great, my 12 foot is long past the age of consent possibly 40 years old , so tight lines stay safe , T S 😊

[@biggamehunter_78]

I've always been passionate about fishing, and it has brought me so much joy and solace in life. Lately, I've been dreaming about owning the Korda Basix Carp Cradle, a piece of fishing equipment that would truly elevate my experience and allow me to care for the beautiful carp I catch. It may seem like a small thing, but this cradle represents my commitment to preserving the well-being of these magnificent creatures. Each catch is a moment of connection, and I want to ensure their safety during the process. Sending positive vibes and tight lines to you all! 🎣✨

[@radhikam2401]

The quality of these videos is UNREAL. I can’t stop watching these videos.

Thank you mate, that's super kind :) Happy you enjoy them!

[@zarka0016]

ive just started fishing personally but ever since i started ive been wanting to go more more more and more the first time i went sea fishing which i really enjoyed, now recently my friend has said i can join him and his family on their fishing trips every week or so, so ive taken the opportunity to learn from my friend and im learning quick however i have alot to learn, im gonna start going more often, at the moment i am learning to fish with a whip which i really enjoy thanks to your videos i really enjoy watching you and fishing and learning many new things i love your channel carl keep it up.

[@DouglasGPark]

Hello, my name is Douglas. I'm 25 and have been fishing all my life. My dad and I have been enjoying taking out rowing boat out to sea and hoping for new and interesting species. We would love some multipliers. That's all :) Thanks Carl... and Alex for years of entertainment. Keep it up!

[@michaelsperanza6054]

Hi from Watervliet, NY, USA Just received my copy of “The Simple Fishing Guidebook”! It is beautifully done! The illustrations are stunning! I will be reading it “on the bank tonight”! Thank you so much!

[@Switchplayer321]

Hi Carl probably a bit late but I’m 12 and I love angling and you videos. I’ve always dreamed of having a bite alarm stand with receivers so I can stay in my bivvy and ‘relax more instead of worrying about my rod and reel. I teach kids how to fish and to get into although I am young. Your videos have helped me so much and I feel bad that I’m possibly nicking equipment from you. Thanks for you hard work keep it up.

[@mindenisgergovel]

Hi. I'm 14, and I'm just getting inro carp fishing. I have been feeder fishing for about 3 to 4 years now. Before that, I was float fishing, which I didn't really like. I have learnt lretty much all the things about carp fishing from you and your brother. I watch your tutorials.., which i find really helpful. I will be starting high school this September. When it comes to tackle, a box and some items frim the basix range would help me out. At the moment I'm using the Korda basix wide gape hooks in the sizes 4 and 6, which I really like. Actually, I just finishsd tying a pop up rig from your video. When it comes to feeder fishing, I use Guru's Qm1 hooks. Thank you for making such great videos, and helping people, both children and adults, to learn to catch fish succesfully.

[@paulleeman4606]

My dream would be a room like this it looks awesome, I’ve just starting fishing with my son this year we love watching your videos, a dream wouldn’t really be tackle it’s a decent camera to make memories because for me that what it’s all about, Thankyou for being who you are, keep it up

[@MR555SNAKE555]

Hi Carl, really great to see both you, and your brother doing so well even after the split. Been following you guys for about 5 years perhaps I would say, and the quality of videos and content just keeps on improving every time! I started feeder fishing here in South Africa, a facet that is really small here, perhaps less than 600 anglers in total. We mostly do a facet own to South Africa called 'bank angling', and that is the type of fishing you get taught as a kid, so feeder fishing has not caught on yet. As feeder fishing is so small, we have limited gear to choose from and only one shop that stocks Guru and Preston gear in the entire country. I have an old seatbox that I bought 2nd hand and it is not really suited for my big stature and weight, and my dream tackle would be a new seatbox that would fit this purpose. Keep up the great work and I love the collaboration videos with your brother!

[@benschonder1037]

I'm German but I'm trying to do it in English, I've been fishing for a few weeks in a lake near me, because I can't go far away as a young angler, at the lake you have to put the rods in the water but so far the money has not been enough for waders, which is why I go in short pants, But that's why I'm often sick after fishing, very nice video Bw Ben

[@cristianteculescu7176]

Hi , so I'm a builder can afford pretty much everything i need for my fishing ...however...i like giving most of my old or unused tackle to young fishermans that aren't so fortunate. So whatever dream tackle a young one would dream about you choose it and ill double it so we make two guys happy. Well done and keep doing the good job.

[@vanderreijden]

Hi Alex, Been watching your content for the past 6 months and it has really helped in the development of my fishing, and the confidence to try new tactics. I started fishing when I was a lot younger and for sure caught the bug, but as I got older I became lazy and not as interested in going to the lake, however watching your content has re-inspired my enjoyment of fishing, and have so been going quite regularly in the past few months. In terms of gear that I have always wanted, I'm not really sure but I have recently purchased a bait boat (yet to use it) it was a fairly cheap one and so would like to maybe get a nicer one someday in the future Thanks a lot for the content that you produce and keep it up Hoping for Tight lines for the years to come

[@stena9737]

Hi carl i love your room not only all of us have helped you, you have helped me i have been fishing for a year now and your videos have helped alot my dream fishing tackle is a korda carp rod and a daiwa carp reel. Thanks

[@nathanscott9463]

Hi Carl, I never got taught how to fish so watching your videos has been a huge help so thank you! My dream tackle would be anything modern carp related. As I’m new to carp fishing the gear I have is very limited and old. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@luketaylor92]

Hi Carl, love the channel buddy. I'm 30 and after stopping fishing when I was around 15 I decided to start up again last year and took up carp fishing. one item I don't have that would really help are reliable bite alarms for my overnight sessions. keep the awesome videos coming :)

[@robertellis8738]

As always another fantastic watch Carl, fishing has always been the best way for me to relax and enjoy nature and you ( and Alex ) capture this. I do really need a new carp mat/ cradle as after 20 years mine is getting done. Thank you

[@byrnesy194]

That really is a dream room mate! Watching your videos inspired me to start buying my gear back after it was all stolen. My dream item of tackle would be a power porter but id be more than happy with any carp porter to replace my old one. Keep up the good work mate!

Hey Carl. Firsts things first I just want to thank you for all the great content you have created. Your videos bring me so much joy as I don't get to fish much anymore due to have 4 girls at home that need there daddy. And also had some gear stolen from my shed but things are on the up and me and the family have just got a new home and I invested in a nice new shed so this video has given me some inspirations to kit mine out. My dream tackle would be a brolly system so I can get some me time this winter. Thanks again Carl😊

[@migmogpogsilog]

Great to see you back on here mate. Great refurb. Love it! Looking forward to the next video.

[@willtaylor3020]

hey Carl the videos have really helped me grow as an angler I have used the tutorial videos when I needed a hand with rubbing up on some new tactics that will help me catch bigger an better Carp, the zig fishing video in particular helped me catch one of there nicest carp I've ever caught. my item if tackle would be some kind of baiting pole for example the bushwhacker by Nash as I'm trying to improve my small water fishing ready for a trip next month.

[@TheAdam2960]

Your fishing tutorials have helped me and my gf tremendously fishing at our venue and she has gained the confidence now to go after carp after many years of catching smaller fish and her new pb is now 24ib and hopefully only getting bigger with every visit thankyou and keep up the amazing work the only thing she would want is some better chairs as she gets a bad back after the trips😄

[@tobylambert4278]

I have loved following your channel from the very early days too now. As for tackle it makes me think what would I have needed when I started. My three children 10 - 8 - 5yr olds are hitting the banks for the first time this summer and what I would have loved as a child starting was a nice whip and float set to learn the basics of fishing. The three of them are studying all you videos and tutorials 😂 they can’t wait to start their into fishing 🎣 so thank you for your part in their excitement

[@danwillington6491]

Hi Carl, Hope you're well... I have always loved fishing since being about 10, Never had enough confidence to pick up the camera and film but I do love enjoying the outdoors and fishing just like you!! For me my dream piece of tackle equipment would be a decent carp rod/reel combo! I've been focusing a lot on river and would love to get back into carping, maybe the tackle would give me the boost to start it again!Cheers again
