For many anglers the ultimate fish in British waters is the carp. In only twenty or so years we've seen this species capture the imagination of at least a million anglers and the carp have responded to a mass influx of food by just getting bigger and bigger.In 2001 the British Cap Record was over 59lbs... the same fish has been caught again recently and now weighs a staggering 61lbs. How long can this retain the British title?The goal of most fanatical carp anglers is the capture of a 30lbs specimen in British waters in this programme we will see that other extraordinary species Des Taylor do just that... twice! Des is one of the most entertaining and informative presenters in today's angling world and certainly is one of the better journalists. He demonstrates excellently the beauty of simplicity... landing all his fish on the simplest of rigs. Des really knows his stuff and after watching him... hopefully you'll know his stuff too!In this DVD Des imparts an abundance of essential information; which if put into practise on the right fishery will definitely help you to achieve...or even exceed your angling goals. Whether you're an expert or a novice there's something here for everyone.Firstly though to wet your appetite; see the founding father of modern carping Kevin Maddocks in action at Ringstead Fisheries with a 46lbs fish and his good mate Rob Hales tackling one of over 30lbs. (Incidentally keep your eyes peeled for a couple of cracking catfish caught by fellow anglers during the same session).Enjoy the programme and tight lines! Minimize

You've never got a fishing rod on you when you want one. Oh how we remember all those times strolling along the banks of the Limpopo when up pops the fin of a marlin or perhaps we hear the splash of a leaping sword-fish and darn it if we've forgotten a fishing rod. If only we'd had a Pocket Fishing Rod to hand? Of course marlin and swordfish are not fresh-water fish and we've never been to the Limpopo but it sounded more appealing than watching a dead perch floating in the Grand Union Canal. We're getting off the point somewhat (again!). Ok this clever little gadget is about the size of a large marker pen at only eight inches long and yet opens up to become an aluminium alloy 4ft fishing rod complete with a left and right handed reel (packed separately) a 5lb breaking strain line and even includes a triple hook spinner. Never again will you be caught short when you spot a fish rise and it's small enough to carry with you everywhere! Please note: To cast the Pocket Fishing Rod line you need to pull some slack from the reel. The reel will not automatically cast just by flicking the rod. Minimize
