Korda Tackle and Tips 2 DVD

I just watched the latest free DVD from Danny Fairbrass and Co. It's called "Carp Tackle, Tactics and Tips Volume 2". It's quite enlightening. It is full of tips, tricks and suggestions, as well as all the latest gear from the likes of Daiwa, Trakker, Harrison's Rods etc.

I've watched a lot of these dvd's over the years and some of them are diabolical, but Danny and his gang have made this a peach of a DVD. Some of our top anglers have produced some horrendous DVD's but this ain't one of them! I recently received a Hinders DVD with Bran Jarrett showing you their products. Although it was a well produced DVD, it didn't make you want to go out there and get some fishing in. Bryan did his best but there's only so much you can talk about pellets or boilies or mixes. I didn't get to finish the DVD as I got bored but that's only my opinion. You watch it yourself and see what you think.

In contrast try watching the Korda Carp Tackle and Tips 2 DVD. Whatever you may think of Danny Fairbrass, at least he makes decent DVD's (or at least features in them). They've got articles that get you thinking about your own fishing situations and giving you tips in the construction and use of your own rigs, plus previews of the latest offerings from leading manufacturers. I was particularly interested in the construction of the KD rig, as I'd seen this in action when Steve changed his rig at Orchid Lake. Within a short space of time of changing his rig he'd lost a bream and landed another bream. OK, it wasn't what we were after but it did make you wonder if the fish had been at our rigs before and done us.

I understand that Steve is making his own single hookbait pop ups, using advice on the DVD from Ali Hamadi and Gareth Fareham. We shall have to see how that pans out!

The people on the DVD caught some spectacular fish, from 20 lb to 60 lb+ . It was filmed on a lake in France (it did mention the name on the DVD but I wasn't listening!) Also, they moved to another location which turned out to be a lake that Danny Fairbrass had just bought! It is now called Gigantica but it was called something else before Danny bought it. It looks like a smashing location and no doubt we will be hearing of it more in the future. He's obviously got big plans for his new lake so expect a few advertisements and plugs for his lake during the last part of the DVD!

All in all a DVD worth watching even if your not wanting to buy anything!

See ya later,
