Being local I used to watch Bradleys coarse fishing channel when he was just a teenager about 20 yrs ago, around the time i started carping . Still as enthusiastic as he was then. Need to get myself back down Stanwick
Hi Sam, we state in the rules ‘barbless’ as we’ve got lots of different angling abilities across the complex and prefer barbless hooks for our silver fish. But we do allow micro barbed on our carp lakes. Glad you enjoyed it!
I noticed Brad Wagner was using the Fox EOS 10000 (PRO?) reel. I'm not sure if his rod was a ten footer, but do you think the EOS PRO 10000 is an appropriate reel for ten foot rods? Does it balance well??? Is it too big or heavy for ten ft rods? I live in the US and don't have the chance to actually hold/feel my equipment before purchasing! Thank you for your thoughts - Joe
Hi Joe, whilst floater fishing Brad was using the 10000 sized reel and a 10ft rod. Together they are a pretty good combo. Choice of rod and reel depends on the type of water you are fishing. If you are casting long range you may want to up the size of the reel and rod. But Brad’s set up was perfect for this situation.

Lovely
Brill well done mate
Great film, has the complex now allowed barbed hooks? Always thought barbless only
