Another great video from des and sonubaits, i fish this venue regularly but still picked up lots of tips 👍🎣

[peterthornton]

Nice session showing how to develop the swim without the usual filling it in. I certainly learnt something when you showed the plumbing up to half way down the stem. (approx 2" over depth). Also the controlled feeding was good. I know if the fish rocked up you would adjust the feeding to the amount of bites you would be getting. Thanks Des, another very useful video.Cheers

Great vidio Des was fishing hard pellet yesterday wish I had seen your vidio before once again never thought about laying on so much great thight lines

[MichaelWoodward-it]

Cracking vid as always, need more like this and not at venues stuffed with fish 🎣

[PamShipman]

Hi Des, why don’t you use a pole rest ? I’m sure I would get a bad back !!

[tonymatthews]

On my local lake Dess on certain pegs they dont fizz but plumes of mud come up on the long pole but you cant get a bite not even a liner im guessing its must be very silty or muddy on that long pole line.

[alanmarriott]

Can i ask please what bait at this time of year on a commercial for carp on pole would you go for between hard pellets or expanders please?? Thanks

[Prasutagucaster]

I get more hook pulls using the white dura than any other elastic. Other dura strengths are fine but the white just seems to randomly lock up, even if it’s nowhere near full stretch. I reckon it happens when the elastic gets to a 90’ angle or less against the pole

[stevenanderson]

Wish I had seen this before yesterday😂, I need to learn patience over fed and caught more scales than fish lol, must have lost 50 to 60 pound, great info Des lessons needed I think

[stephenarmstrong]

We need a OUTTAKES special from Des I bet it’s brilliant. Great film chaps 👍👍. Not related but what do you use to soften wafters I’m sure you made a film about it but can’t find it?

[alanmarriott]

As newbie can you explained please what a ‘Liner’ is or line bite i assume? Sorry for such a silly question

[delfish]

You usually hook the band, from your previous videos but today you’re using banded hair rigs. Is there any reason please.

[rogercunningham]

Happens to the best and worst of us Des.

Y'all doing alit just to catch a carp. All you need is any type of fishing poles you like and just use corn. Y'all are taking catching carp way to serious. I'd love to have some of those small 2 - 10 inch carp to cut up for catfishing!!! Their great bait in the U.S.
