Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

[@AC-tn2hk]

Carl and Alex you have done it again, you have produced the best fishing videos on KZbin so keep it up :)

[@r0binho386]

they are both just extraordinarily good at what they do. an absolute bloody joy to watch, every one of them.

[@AC-tn2hk]

Yeah I agree, I can tell you now that you will never get bored of these two

[@alexhaynes7793]

Sooooooooo true

[@tedshorney39]

I agree i think there videos are amazing and already became a better angler already

[@alexhaynes7793]

There isnt a single fault in these videos i have told soo many of my friends about them and they cant stop watching now 😂😂

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much! Great to hear :)

[@kushbats4504]

The only KZbin channel other than t.a fishing that actually want you to go out and catch and give out crucial tips dont just show off how good they are as a anglers, humble entertaining and genuine, as a loner the ego of todays carp angler ruined the sport for me put me off asking for any help when i started up so i just went back to piking but these videos really making me wanna get back into carping

[@jbradshaw4236]

Been fishing for 30 plus years and Im happy to say I'm learning loads from your channel. Great videos.

[@pfpcashttv3071]

Carl and Alex are easily the best fishing youtubers

[@mickoconnell7822]

My little lad and I started fishing last month and we really enjoy your videos, he came running in my room this morning all excited to tell me you had liked and replied to a comment about him catching his first carp last week, well we went the other day and he got another 5 so your vids are working :) keep up the good work

[@daveeagling9372]

That was brilliant. Surface fishing is awesome but does require more finesse so thank you for an excellent tutorial. I remember a few years back fishing the lily pads at the park lake (unsuccessfully) and Alex turned up. He had the finesse and I didn’t which after just a few minutes resulted in me netting a fish for him.

[@edenfc5082]

I'm 35 and been fishing at least 30 years but I've learned so much of you two fellas, well done again.

[@tonyfitzgerald3090]

Hi lads ,I just want you to know him im 50 years young and never fished before until a month ago. I think I have watched all your vids and I must say you two teach very good .I also like the close brotherly love you both have for one another and the laughter you give me watch you 2 . All the best to you both 👍

[@dionnewheeler9930]

Hello

[@DJSpannamanUK]

I wanna know who the 114 people are that disliked the video! I’ve been surface fishing for years and this is defo how you do it! Even down to the tips that other videos don’t show like the oil and trimming the bait! Everytime I see your videos dude I love the venues! It’s easier to surface fish on smaller venues we with lots of natural food that usually sits on the surface and with Lilly pads! Every time I get to a new venue and see Lilly’s I always know I’m gonna catch there! Either on the top by them or with a method just under them! The tench and carp love em

[@adhartshorn2589]

Im learning how all this carp takle works and watched many people trying to show how to set up and how things work nothing ever helps until ive found this guy id recommend to anyone who is new to carp fishing this is the guy to watch

[@petersmith8350]

Thanks lads I've just started back fishing again after some time off,and it's the little adjustments that defines success from failure so thanks for your in-depth but simple look into this fine art of surface fishing for carp.

[@philt2680]

Feels like I check everyday for new videos amazing content guys you’ve come so far since your first videos !

[@shanergreen75]

This is a great instructional video - i caught 3 x 5lb+ carp in 10 minutes using only a size 6 hook and bread floated on the surface this evening. I am now 'hooked' on surface fishing for carp. Thank you.

[@jamesjackpearson]

I love you guys keep up the amazing work lads tight lines 🎣🎣

[@tiszaihorgaszat]

Greetings from Hungary!!! Hungary, not hungry .... :))) Seeing amazing pictures, it's like I'm fishing. On behalf of all anglers, thank you for the shots.

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you very much!

[@GarfyB]

Best videos on youtube - such simple clear instructions - great personalities & incredible production - keep up the great work lads !!!!

[@fishingtutorials]

Wow, thanks!

[@MichaelMosesHammer]

These are some nice guys for sure! They have fun, and how can you not like these?

[@Era-DK]

Could you do a video on finding out what the lake bed is? Also maybe something on lead setups - what the minimum weight is for a bolt rig to take effect? Cheers

[@Saito-boi]

I caught 2 grass carp this morning because of your tips, thanks man you're a big help

[@carlharris8987]

Great video as always , pretty much everything you need to know about surface fishing is in this. Thanks lads

[@RobertLilley1]

Top marks for a relaxed, not conceited, explained in normal terms without loads of enthusiast terminology. I am a part-time fisherman, a day off with my buddy for a relaxing day fishing. Easy to follow steps and clear images / video to guide. Young lad chatting was very good, clear and un rushed, covering areas good for me to understand but also for regular dedicated fisher. Thanks 😊 👍

[@phome2239]

I've just started fishing again after a good few years, my fishing kit was stolen I couldn't afford to replace it so I lost heart a bit, but after watching your videos I got the yearning to start again, well done keep the video's coming informative and fun

[@billhancox253]

Another 5* video. Brilliant cinematography and editing. Thank you and keep it up.

[@bobc3645]

These are fantastic video tutorials. They are clear in the description and brilliant viewing of the different methods. I take my 11 year old grandson Carp fishing and having introduced him to it he absolutely loves it. Neither he or I are competent at carp fishing (I used to be a sea angler) so these videos truly are educational and my grandson will be watching them after me , for sure. Keep yhe coming please.

[@dgswagger]

Absolute banger of a video the excitement enthusiasm and detailed explanations really love watching your videos

[@andyoke50]

Another winner, thank you Carl & Alex.

[@dmst6664]

Recently came across your videos and it made me dust off my rods and reels and get out and fish again. thank you. keep up the good content

[@ryanmcguinness7898]

Brilliant video yet again like always best fishing channel on KZbin you guys have got me back into fishing learning loads off tips from your vids thanks lads

[@elijahdueck3611]

Best videos to help early fisherman. Can’t thank you enough.

[@redkitegaming289]

Thanks Carl and Alex! This is a great tutorial I hope to catch a carp soon :)

[@jamesmaier1223]

Yall Brits seem to make more concise videos than my fellow Americans are (just getting into carp fishing, I'm a lifetime bass and panfish angler from Indiana). Thanks!

[@fishingtutorials]

Haha cheers James! You're so welcome! Glad to hear you found it to the point and helpful :) all the best with your carp fishing!

Hi fellas, as always very informative and again learned a little more knowledge to my storking adventure’s thanks and keep em coming. Best wishes to you both 🎣🎣🐟🐟

[@daveperrin9408]

Surface fishing is one of my favourite ways to catch. You give clear spot on advice to any Angler new to the sport or novice. I've been fishing for 57 years and I can tell you what a joy it is to watch your video's. Keep up the great work lads. Always a pleasure to watch. 👍👍🎣

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much Dave, really appreciate that :) Great to hear you find the videos easy to understand

[@daveperrin9408]

@@fishingtutorials your very welcome. Keep the video's coming lads. You do a great job inspiring others to try something different. You lads could make a brilliant TV series. 👍👍👍👍🎣🎣 Tight lines.

[@BastHoen]

Again, a briljant video. I’m so impressed with you guys!

[@MichaelMosesHammer]

Wow! That 1st fish was very cool looking! Really Golden, and a linear line. Nice video! Your video's are how I end my days! I find them very relaxing, and I thank you.

not gone fishing for ages but i used to love surface fishing. it was 100% my favourite

[@MaluHunterFishing]

Such a fantastic video as always. Very informative.

[@ChristopherLanigan]

Insane video lads! Love from Ireland 🇮🇪❤️keep it up

[@walsallfan7424]

Hello carl and alex I am a young angler and I have watched all of your fishing tutorials and caught many fish I love your videos

[@roberthynes8248]

Great video lads I love fishing of the surface there’s no buzz like watching a carp take the bait.

[@jamesiv960]

Brilliant video! Love what you are doing

[@angling_chris4136]

I've never really fished regularly but lockdown happened and this has made me want to go so much and I've caught some new PB's

Love this vid best fishing channel ever

[@juicethekidd9831]

Thanks for the tips man. you guys are great

[@dexperelaxify4510]

Perfect video, thanks for sharing 👍

[@garylowe8601]

Definitely be trying this. I did surface fishing years ago but it was just soaked biscuits, size 6 hook and an old loaded surface float. Always loved seeing then big old lips slurp away. It's definitely come on a lot technology. Great video.

[@63melvyn]

Great video thank you for explaining the rig set up in such detail , really helpful

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank mate, I'm glad it helped! 👍

[@kayciefd3369]

Love fishing from the top best way of fishing in the summer 👍👍🎣🎣🎣

[@cheshiresmileclinic]

Awesome, now I know what I was doing wrong the other day! Can't wait for a rematch. Keep em coming!

[@stephenelward7023]

This seriously is the best fishing channel going fair play!!

[@beanaddict]

Great advice,,,love taking carp of the top.

[@laurahickman7640]

Thank you guys so much for these videos! They're amazing! Oh, just a quick one... oil is hydrophobic, therefore it repels water. It has no charge much like water does and so therefore will not bond and will avoid water :) that's the science for you!

[@habajuza]

thx for that 3 second clip of how to make a knot, it worked

[@justluvfishinguk]

Awesome buddy awesome... cheers Chris & Sam

caught like 5 carp in 1 hour using dog biscuit on band. This wouldn't happen if this video didn't upload. Love it Carl and Alex!

Thanks dude!!

[@razoutPlayGames]

[@guitarpicker1393]

Definitely the most exciting way to fish for carp 🎣

[@JP-ic2ze]

I'm sure you get 100s of requests, but if you ever get the chance on covering splicing your own line instead of buying pre made one, that would be amazing. So few videos on the topic and something I personally would love to learn as a new fishing person.

[@owenbirch819]

Well done Glad we had that chat on ig last night thanks

[@ChazBG]

Hey, guys! Could you please make a video about the "seasons" of fishing in UK and Europe?

[@elwinengleng5938]

Great video it's really helpful❤️

[@ptaylor5014]

Great video again and even though i know all this technique i still find myself watching your vids lol, only thing i would mention is about mixing dog biscuits with smaller pellets and trying to catapult them out all the same time is near on impossible to get them all in the same place, because of the different size and weights they will scatter out all over the place! can't wait for the next video.

[@andrewellis6341]

Brilliantly explained, will defo give this a go

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers Andrew, glad to hear :) All the best with it

Carl (and Alex), I hope you read this, cause I really want to thank you for by far the best fishing tutorial KZbin channel and especially for this one, as today, it resulted in my best day fishing ever! On bread, free-line and dog biscuits (none of which, I'd ever fished with before). The most fun fishing by FAR! So, thanks! 😁
