I use fine wire hooks, I hate heavy wire most of the big name carp hooks are rubbish - size 4 tend to be like shark hooks, total overkill I just brush up the point gently with a fine Jag stone before recasting - job done its easy and quick and you quickly get a knack for it - there is no need for an magnifier tool and loads of files, vices are good, putting vaseline stuff on is a load of tripe

I use barbless . Rather lose a fish than do the damage to fish .

Great video , common sense advice and , as always , words of wisdom from this man . Never tire of hearing Jule's thoughts and opinions 👍

You keep talking about a finer point but never define what that is? I assume that regardless of what thickness of wire ( ie hook size) you use the angle at the point will be the same when it has been hand sharpened, but that will be a finer/ shallower angle than a factory point. So how does a smaller hook have a finer point?

A finer point will also be blunted and bent over alot more from debris, gravel and fish etc, etc, never needed to buy a pack of hooks to pay someone to then sharpen them in over 32 years of carp fishing, that little file Jules picked up is more than good enough to touch a hook up on the bank if and when needed.

I once caught 16 carp all over 20 up to 37lb from a very tricky deep venue in a night all on the same rig. The hook was a size 4 korda curve shank. I totally disagree that the hook is the single most important thing. The whole rig is. Sharpening an already chemical sharpened hook is the worst thing you can do it weakens the pount so much. On the subject of rigs if you dont already know it try Martin Clarkes slip D rig. The video on how to tue it is on youtube or at least used to be. If you hook any fish outside the mouth just make the rig a bit longer. Its the best rig i have usrd since the original hair rig when i was about 13 and im 57 now. Tight lines guys

I have scuba dived in a local syndicate lake “ with permission of the owner “ during close season and I was absolutely stunned at the amount of lead weights I see . The only people pushing you to drop the lead are those making and selling them and there is absolutely no need to . All the nonsense about fish coming to the surface because there is no lead etc is just bs

I've been using the same hook since 1998, its getting a bit rusty now so might open another packet

Hooks are more than sharp enough when you buy them . Always make me laugh when carpers go on about sharpening hooks 😂😂😂. I've got my tin hat on ready for the replies

Eye glass boys at my age I need a microscope 😂

Brilliant Lads nice to see you both

Iron comes close to the resisting weight of actual lead on a lake bed. Iron for instance is much better than stone. No joke. I have a list of weight products in correct order. There's even a formula to calculate the actual weight resistente under water of certain products.

No need to drop lead. Being sold to fishermen to sell more leads. Also lead has been around for hundreds of years everyone is still here id be more worried about the human shite being dumped it the rivers than a lead.

That looks smart. Unfortunately i cant lay out 200 for a chair.

One of the OG’s in carp fishing

It’s always good to see Julian on here demonstrating his knowledge on rigs !!! By the way, Does he comb his hair with a balloon?

Legend 🔥🔥🔥

Now then mate, just to say I haven't used a pop up in years , I fish a weedy lake as you know and soon as I get there I lead about a bit and as long as I feel lead hit firmish ground that's were rig goes with bottom bait on, very rare I lose a fish....

I stopped fishing in early 80’s & then started again 2 years ago Always had a problem with the idea that carp never approach a bait from lead end

Julian don't need to wear a court wig anymore.

Bo Selecta 😂😂😂

Thank you Julian, some great advice there.

Proper job pop ups on a multi...

Twins

Great tips

Always use the multi rig 👌

wicked as always fellas happy new year to you all guys

Awesome casting machines

Rod and emu

Great rods I have 4 myself what people might not understand the rods overtime will never lose their through action over the years like other rods will do.as the carbon blank is of a very high quality.like you have said very low resin which is very important in high-end rods.which increases the strength and accuracy in the cast due to no twist in the casting of the rod.And with free Spirit rods should you an accident with the rod break a section of the rod 10 years of more down the rod you we'll be able to get a new replacement section.But with rods sold by certain companies with in a year are discontinued or new version of that rod are made and spares are not kept.so you end up going out and getting new rods and spending more money in the end.We all have probably have all done it over the years.expensive rods are not going to be for everyone it all depends on where you go fishing and how many times you go in a year.But if you want a hand built of a high quality rod that will last for probably the rest of your life you will not go wrong with a freespirit Hi-S All I would say if you want a custom build.I allow yourself plenty of time don't expect your rods back in a week or even a month due to a lot of workload.it's a lot quicker on a standard build just bear this in mind.just think you've got the rods for the rest of your you so if you would like a custom build them you can later in your life if you want. I love my Free Spirit 13f rods for Carp fishing and for casting long distances .

Carp tax is a joke 😂😂

Jez... ?.. with so many carp baits out there...wot do you sell most of...

Will they ever do a 26 or 32 inch net for us mere mortals

Matt Lucas and David Williams

I’m sure they’re good however, no wellie boot is worth £120 a pair……I’ve just bought a pair of Nash wellies, £60 quid, they’re perfectly warm. Hail Nash!

Looks like a parsnip.

Will this fit my old JRC landing net. 🤔

Jimmy prawn

The Classic net shot 🤣🤣🤣

Only problem if and it is if the moulded top breaks that's the handle gone 😢

😂😂😂👍

These weights have to be priced more competitively, otherwise most people will go to small type manufacturers and still use leads. Who will enforce the ban? When’s the last time anyone was stopped by an EA bailiff? Club/syndicate bailiffs, the police? I’m not against the idea they just need a more realistic price

Usea stone with a swivel araldited on or us pallatrax stonz

If lead was detrimental to water quality we wouldnt have any fish anywhere. Lets make a substitute and charge the punters £3 a time. Commercial bullshit.

Lead dropping should have been banned years ago ,people go on about fish care and surroundings care but your happy to pollute the water with leads just to catch a fish ,well fish somewhere less snaggy ,and clubs ban mallets cos the od person moans about scaring fish 😅😅😅 what about 2 idiots turning up and spending 20 minutes smashing up the lake with there stupid spodding ,theres some stupid rules out there

Not to happy that lead may be banned. The cost will definitely increase. Same happened to shotgun amo over water. The replacement are not as good as lead. shot cartridges. Lead had been used for hundreds of years for various applications water pipes etc. Will be interested in having a look at the new weights. But maybe a better solution than lead?

3.5lbs, blimey what a pig poker. Sucking all the enjoyment out of playing a fish 😂

Ive just brought the rucksack and I'm quick disappointed with the zips , they don't look like there gonna last , my saber rucksack had better zips , they deffo need to upgrade the zips

Dropping leads is out of control when there's absolutely no need & not as toxic as the chemicals being pumped into our rivers & lakes but we pick up the tab for the eco agenda 🎣

Please can someone explain why they'd ban lead weights of that size ?? Lead isn't soluble , has been used as domestic water pipe for 200 years and can't be consumed by animals
