There's a difference between the best carper and the most successful.

The most successful could be Terry Hearn, or even Andy Little (there's a thought) but the best is probably Kevin Maddocks or Rod Hutchinson.

Adaptable, ground breaking, inventive and a few other adjectives besides.

Oscar, I think you`ll find Kevin didnt actually invent the hair rig, although the hair rig method as attributed to carp fishing was developed (allegely)by Lenny Middleton and Kevin Maddocks. I think though you will find its usage in other forms of angling prior to that. kevin was however an excellent innovator and contributed significantly towards modern carp angling.

It's the man who gets that incredible feeling when his line goes tight, treats every fish he catches with respect, and re-lives those moments when unable to get back on the bank!.....Can there be a best of all time?

GOT TO BE A TOSS UP BETWEEN MR KEVIN NASH AND THE LEGEND THAT IS TERRY HEARN. BOTH HAVE ACHEIVED SO MUCH AND GIVEN SO MUCH BACK TO THE HUMBLE YOU AND I. IF IT WASNT FOR THEM TO WE WOULD ALL BE COPYING ROD HUTCHINSON.
