    Harry is too easy on Mark.
    The Richard Walker Carp rod, is from the late '60s not the '50s
    For the '50s, it should have been the MkIV split cane.
    Not a single Argos sun lounger was seen for the '80s and sleeping under a 45" nylon brolly with an overwrap would have perfected it.
    Good fun though, I might go a find my Cardinal 55s and Optonic Super XL and give them a run out

    These youngsters didnt actually research what was avaialable in the early days. The Heron Bite alarm was around in the '50's. Used to use rubber float stops instead of beads in the late 60's and early 70's. Great stuff seeing proper carp rods in use. I only got rid of my Mitchell 300's a few years ago.

    Very entertaining, the Hardy glass Mk4 was my first proper carp rod, shame no SS6s appeared for the 70s. Scarily been chasing carps for 50 years now, where does the time go. Don't remember having a 'Harry alarm' to tell me I had a take when I started, only the salmon toffs had ghillies back then.

    Very interesting watch with content that took considerable preparation and thought . As usual Mark, Harry and team provide excellent content with plenty of laughs along the way . Being a comparatively old carper at 70 years I found the 50’s content the most pleasing. Fish were far less pressured then and even using basic tactics of the time Mark still caught and proved they still work . Well done fella 👍👍👍. Keep the entertainment coming Thank you so much.

Why fish for carp that's been caught a thousand times when you can catch one that may never have been caught, and I have the bank pretty much to myself, just a shame that the water company's treat them as open sewers.

    got it wrong for the 00's for that era it involves getting an underwater camera roping of a section of the lake for weeks and heavily feeding it for weeks before even fishing it and having people running up the bank ground baiting for you while you sit in a bivvy looking at monitors talking in a mockney accent lol
