To be fair to the companies, part of the issue is a certain ‘package holiday’ type angler, who needs to be told everything like a robot and thinks with almost religious fervour, that secret knowledge and special tackle, is only why people catch fish, hahahaa. The type on Carp programs who say they’re keeping it ‘really simple’ and then proceed to describe a 20 component rig🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your videos are spot on - wish I was there with you. You've got some great water there. I've never been so successful fishing since I reduced to a rucksack and landing net for short sessions(fishing since 1980 - decided to go light 4 years ago.....wish I'd done it 20 years sooner). Much better than planting yourself in one spot with a shed load of gear. If there's nothing happening it takes seconds to pick up and move to a different spot and you invariably find the fish with a roving approach.
Good angling. I ignore the tackle tarts as well. A long rod is for casting, you can give a fish more 'stick' with a shorter rod, its the fulcrum/lever effect, just look at big game rods.
videos are wicked mate, you catch better and more fish than all of the big named anglers, such simple techniques, proper rod and line fishing, great ideas, great method of baits too, you should be sponsored for sure, plus you sould like tyson fury
Great video mate! Good original content we can all relate to without feeling like we need to go out and have a spend up. Thanks! really enjoyed the video
@@The_ginger_fisherman I actually thought the bells made it. The shot of the barbel in the water through the vegetation was brilliant. Did you get a size on it in the end? My first reaction at that shot was actually 9-10lbs fish Cheers for the vid
nice fishing, lure and spinning rods are pretty good for barbel and carp, there's a trend for shorter rods in carp fishing anyway so just save the money I reckon👍 rolling baits is a very underused method these days too, I don't think any of us do enough of it👍
Great stuff Chris. All this tackle tart stuff is just a nonsense designed to brainwash gullible people into buying the latest crap. I've landed Carp to 25lb on my 8 year old son's 5ft spinning rod with 6lb line straight through. It's all a nonsense and you are a top guy for refusing to bow down to any peer pressure. You still catch more than most anglers.
Hi Chris, came across this video on some tips about rolling baits. Always a great channel with quality content and advice! RE your comment about people religiously using specific tackle for specific types of fishing. I'm with you, I tend to use different rods and reels for other types of fishing. I have a question you may be able to advise on, I'm looking at using a 7ft spin/jerk/dropshot rod for close in feeder fishing. Needs to have a good backbone and a tip sensitive enough for registering bites. I know there's the likes of the Preston Wandzee, Browning and Daiwa 7ft rods. Problem with those is their pack down size, I like to travel compact so am ideally looking for a 7ft rod that packs down equally in equal sizes. Any advise or recommendations is greatly appreciated, tight lines!!
Haahahaaa thought with the bells 🔔 it was the opening scene to Dirty Harry🤣🤣🤣😛Do Barbel rove long distances in a river or do they tend to stick to one area?♥️ I use a 9ft spinning rod for most things, but often spin for double figure Pike with a 13ft match rod and catch tiddlers on my spinning rod using “Bread maggots”🤣🤣🤣♥️
Cut down nearly every tree for miles basically removing all cover. Its to stop the branches holding the flow back and causing flooding apparently but its a load of bollocks
I just got home from fishing river Yare. Spent good money for 12ft feeder rods , caught more fish on my 9ft carp rods. Fished it for a week, caught one roach on feeder rod , 30 Bream and roach on carp rods ??
Yh but handy if you ever sell the rod. Sold a 10yo rod for 70% of current value so made all my money back 😁 handle was still wrapped and it looked brand new.
@@thecasualfront7432 used it in matches twice a week for over 3 years fella - then switched to specimen fishing, granted most the places i match fished were f1 carp but it was surely used a fair bit 😊
Slightly disingenuous, titling the film 'big barbel'. Perhaps it was in 1980, but the Wensum has a recent record of holding bigger fish, even if they've been decimated more recently. Good to see some decent fish coming out. It's a great film and like the style with the tackle. On that note, I don't find barbel anglers blinkered when it comes using diverse set ups.

I'm with you mate, tackle set ups can be simple without rules, its the tackle companys that have made it complicated, just for profit as we know :)
hair rig on a wide gap hook, maybe a tail rubber over the swivel for a boom effect. all you need.

I love The your fishing style mate. Simple, efective, fun. Greetings from Poland

steve williams long rod is also for fishing deep water
@@thecasualfront7432 The sea is pretty deep, and I use a 7ft boat road, except when uptiding when I need to cast.
steve williams for float fishing I mean, in deep water
@@thecasualfront7432 not really you can fish 20ft deep with a 8ft rod using a sliding rig
Dan Lewis yeah that’s true but you have to present your bait bang on the bottom with a slider, trotting is also hard
Great video , like the Bells playing in the background
Beautiful fish from a small stream! Very good point about tackle for the job. Bill

Great vid. Simplicity rules👍.

Well done, a couple of lovely barbel. The first one took some landing in that fast flow.
A carrier bag full of quality 😂
nicely done.. good video...apart from da bells.da bells da bells...going on for an eternity...
Honestly mate they were doing it for a solid hour. Think thats where the insult bell ends comes fro.
@@The_ginger_fisherman I actually thought the bells made it. The shot of the barbel in the water through the vegetation was brilliant.

Sometimes I wish go back to fishing but till then il stick to watch ur channel.

I think your videos are great !!!! Something different and so interesting. Thanks, keep up the good work :)
Well done from Western Australia - beats our southern freshwater fishing (not our salty land based game though). Onya cobber.
Going barbel fishing tomorrow! I set up my gear 2 days ago and somehow we ended up with the same rig and gear. Even down to the hook size!
Like the longer vids mate. I've just got one of those light spinning rods and am going to give it a go for everything.
@ 9 :20, the water seems quite fast. How do you stop your bait from drifting ?
Bit late watching but nice video
I subbed for the fishing. The wife watches for your accent. I'm okay with that. :p
Balanced as all things should be
Ever done any cat fishing for wels catfish?
Great stuff Chris. All this tackle tart stuff is just a nonsense designed to brainwash gullible people into buying the latest crap.

Excellent stuff mate, well done 👍
Great video mate and some great catches
Awesome as stuff usual
I like the way that the bells ring all through the fight and then stop as you land that big barbel. Did you plan that?!
Are you from the Nottinghamshire area pall?

What river do you fish pal
Wensum
What rivers this mate, good vid as usual

Nice one mate👍👍
I think the vast majority of the entertainment is the fact your gifted with a ridiculously healthy river too fish, has to be chalk spring fed
Where can I get one of those novelty church bell bite alarms?
The fishing experts wont be pleased with your set up. You are breaking rules you know. ;)
What have ea been doing to mess up swims @gingerfisherman?

The fish don’t know which rods they should be caught on 😉
🐟
a trouble with braid is that it jams more in weed ..
Good vid as always you should have used more grubs
I hate it when people don’t take the wrapping off cork handles 🤬
Keeps it fresh
@@The_ginger_fisherman let it do its thing! It's angling blasphemy having a lovely cork handle in that body bag!
Yh but handy if you ever sell the rod. Sold a 10yo rod for 70% of current value so made all my money back 😁 handle was still wrapped and it looked brand new.
MatyCuk MTC But you never actually really used the rod properly, might as well of just bought a cheaper model with a plastic handle.
@@thecasualfront7432 used it in matches twice a week for over 3 years fella - then switched to specimen fishing, granted most the places i match fished were f1 carp but it was surely used a fair bit 😊
Do u mean 7 or 8 kg that is way bigger than 7lb
Was a good 8lber
🐟🤪
then why go on about cheap bait ,plastic ,???
fishing shallow water with braid is a dream.
8lb ? Big fish 😂 . Whos your audience 5 yr olds 😂😂😂😂
You seen the size of the river? It probably wouldn't be a big fish if i'd caught it out the Nile
Average river average fish
tip top tuckacka, you twat

Please don't take this as criticism, however. It's easy to criticise, yet I'm not the one making the film. :)
