Yeah , it got out of track a bit , hope Phil won't mind , but there is always something dynamic about different threads
.
But this carpfishing in America and Europe(and the UK is the motherland of this way of carpfishing , as it is practised today over here)also might be considered to be one of those differences that Phil started out with !
Anyway , pretty nice fish , that your father-in-law catches
!
I assume , that those Asian guys use a readily made so-called "trout dough" , very common stuff in our local trout ponds , biggest manufacturer of it is "Berkley's"
.
Before the modern carp fishing over here came up from the UK , the old-timers over here used half boiled smaller potatoes , boiled in scented water , with,-or without peeling them .
The consistency has to be hard enough to keep the hook inside whilst casting , but yet soft enough to release it when setting the hook .
