look forward to reading your replys

thank you

Hi Paul

Well-done on your catch what a result you must be very proud. Regarding rods I would strongly recommend the Chub Outkast rods in 2.75TC if you are looking for a general take anywhere type rod.


If however you like to fish with Method feeders, heavy PVA bags or distance fishing the higher TC of 3.00lb.You can get these rods with a full life time warranty for as little as £59.99here

I have not tried Sonik S4 rods but I have not heard any bad press about them so I cannot really comment.






just afew of the multiple hits we have had looking at them I think they were all from the same area of the lake.

But it just goes to show with the right approach you can really have a great time catching really big lovley condition carp.

Thorpe lea is by no means a push over the right approach and a lot of effort and the rewards are spectacular.
