It's so funny, as a recent newcomer this probably put me off fishing for a decade. It all seems so complicated and even the amount of 'specialist' products in your average tackle shop is bordering insane. And don't get me started on the Packaging! Sorry, rant over. Thank god for normal people like Chris Yates, that Graeme from TA fishing and even John Wilson.
Went out this evening but didn't catch, but here's a chub from a few days ago. I'll probably be failing to net that river carp's bigger brother on Sunday, can just see it happening.

You just don't understand, that's the height of fashion for ModernCarpAngler. It is impossible to catch ModernCarp without perfecting the look (particularly the 1,000 mile stare). Remember, all ModernCarp can see all of your kit from 12 feet below the surface and are extremely critical. If you dress correctly and have matching kit it doesn't matter if you hammer in your (perfectly matching) bank sticks with a (Nash) lump hammer.
It's a bit like wearing Rapha and riding a Cervelo, which everyone knows is the only way to go fast.
