- We have a Christmas Day present for all of you in the shape of one of the finest big carp anglers ever, it’s the return of none other than Jim Shelley.
In this podcast Jim talks in depth and openly about his rigs. Jim has caught endless amounts of incredible, special and tricky carp over the course of his angling and he now shares details of his experience and how that has shaped his rig choice.
We all know how Jim has torn venues apart using his version of the chod rig. Jim talks and shows (on TH-cam version of the podcast) you exactly how he ties his hugely successful version of the rig. He talks also about how he arrived at the presentation, his memorable captures using it and the scenarios in which he uses it. Regardless of if you are new to carp fishing or a seasoned campaigner everyone can take away something to add to their armoury from “The Chod Farther” himself.
Moving onto fishing bottom baits (or the darkside as Jim terms it) Jim reveals his presentation which has been incredible successful for him over the past two seasons. The rig is known as his “Bungee Darkside Rig” and features and elasticated element via Nash Trigger Link which is something that helps trip up those clued up old carp which often pick up and eject our rigs. Jim talks and once again demonstrates (on the TH-cam version of this podcast) how to tie this rig and offers his opinion on bottom bait fishing and baiting scenarios.
On top of all this Jim also talks about a few more of his edges when it comes to carp fishing including hook sharpening as well as a few other thoughts that he probably wish he didn’t make public!
This podcast is an incredible detailed exploration into the mind of a man who is at the very top of the big carp game. He has over forty years’ experience catching the very crème del la crème of old English carp and there’s simply is no substitute what he has experienced and learnt over the years. As ever with Jim there is an incredible about of honesty, humour and no shying away from what he believes in, we wouldn’t want it any other way! Get your note pad at the ready and learn from the master.

I just found this and it's been the best podcast I've ever listened to. Loved Jim's no-bullshit approach and some of the tongue-in-cheek knock of some so-called superstars of the carp world! Will now be looking for more stuff from Jim.
Jim is a master at. Carp fishing , he thinks everything thru and makes sure it is as good as can be .
But is willing to change his style if is needed , he has found his own way , his fishing abroad is a breath of fresh
Air to him and to those that follow him
Ha. Did some hand lining ( floating crust) with Jim back in the day during the closed season at Rushbrooke lake. Even then he knew what how n when. We were just kids mucking about. Still he had a sense. Obviously still got it. Nice one Jim.
Another top podcast in every respect. No nonsense, incredible detail. Excellent articulate descriptions covering bottom rigs approaches. Fishing different to the masses & comments on present vogue fishing, hilarious & on point. Fantastic. Thanks Nash for great interview 🙏🙏
U gotta love a bit of Uncle Jim, not really a fan of pod casts normally but really enjoyed this!! Thanks Jim 🎣👍
Finally some more in detail talk about the tactics ie rigs and baiting. Been looking forward to this and didn’t disappoint 👍👍
Big up Jim... Brilliant work lads. Was looking for somethig quick to watch stumbled across this and now it's 3.15am and Ive got to be up for work in 3 hours 😳😳😳 couldn't turn it off 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Hassan is absolute class at squeezing and digging info from the anglers on these pod casts. Good work as usual hassan thanks loads learned off Jim from this one 👍
Him and tel the best about no doubt about it !!!
Nice podcast.. ❤️
Could literally listen to this man constantly! No bullshit just high end angling!
Respect always jim thankyou for signed copy of your new book my son got it for me, in the top 5 uk big carp anglers of all time in my opinion 😉
Another quality production guys. Great to hear Jim Shelley’s thoughts on rigs and his direct personal experience of what he sees when doing tuitions which mirror my own. Hook sharpness and line integrity are often overlooked and yet they are absolutely fundamental to success. Many anglers just don’t pay these details anywhere near the amount of attention required to be really successful. Hooks and line are cheap in the scheme of carp fishing.
Thx uncle Jim, enjoyed.
Cracking podcast. What a legend!
Wow 👏 never been on your podcast before but subscribed now 👏
Proper enjoyed this one ☝🏻👍🏻
"I fished through lockdown as it was my job"... He says smirking. Sums him up really.

Great podcast 👍. Merry Christmas 🎄💫🍾🥂🎅🎣
Great podcast guys 👏
Top class Jim 🎣
Uncle Jim 💪
Love it merry Xmas
First half of podcast was brilliant, then it was like Jim suddenly remembered why he was there.
Shelley: "Chods, markers, light leads, find fish, sharp hooks, keep it simple, no spods, no leading about, no marker floats, less disturbance....."
NASH: "JIM!"
Shelley: "Erm yeah so all that stuff doesn't work anymore now and a few other anglers have said the same. Carp have wised up. Now all you need is the Darkside Rig Edge, heavy leads, find a spot, bait, bait boat, spod, bungee line rubbed in tungsten, lead clip, this is where it's at now. This realisation just came to me when my Mrs made me tidy out the fishing toilet and maybe I got done on the chod in the margin or maybe not I don't know. But yeah Darkside is where its at now...
Think I will
Be trying this out 💯
When started to fish for Pike then Carp in the early to mid 80's the front drag on the Mitchell 300 couldn't really be trusted. So we back wound. These days modern reels are in a different league to back then.
That aside, more great stuff again from Uncle Jim..
Jim a class apart with some others but love the way he goes about his fishing!
always intresting stuff with Jim ... shame he blocked me on insta (years ago) why I am not to sure, but I love the stuff he does on film these days
Merry Xmas Jim 👊🏻
Top podcast with one the greatest carp hunters, wishing all at Nash a great new year, and wishing Jim and his family a great new New Year
Casting at night has worked for me before 🤷♂️ cool beans
Jim got contacts. Daniel Clifford who owns Midsummer House is a mad keen carp angler. Bet he got a discount 😂
Where can i find the triggalink tutorial? Great Watch this💪🏻
Found one thing really confusing, he says to use a leader as long as you need to if it’s extra weedy but then also says he normally uses 6 or 7ft of lead core. Can anyone clarify ?
what rods does jim use for casting 2oz leads 80 yards?
Are Jim's rig tying being put up on a separate video please ?
Would love to know this too. Did you find it?
Hassan is a example of everything that is wrong with carp fishing today
I see more Jim Shelley than my wife.....will someone please just let him go fishing and find someone new to interview
This guy doesn’t get enough coverage .
Is there a nicer guy in carp fishing than Hassan !’Best interviewer in fishing game by a mile , way way better then them korda fools that for sure.
The korda host is annoying as fook !!! 🤣
Which one the ginger one or that Simon
There both helmets 😂
Spoke to alot of people and they don't rate the line or hook. I try to tell them it is the most important
so, if leadcore is banned (on loads of waters these days) he just fishes leadcore lol
44:54 lmao
moore uncle jim please
What have you been smoking,Gary Anderson is still a great player but reaching another world final is a bit of a stretch! I wouldn't put money it 😅
Jim wilson is the sheep jims talking about!🐑
