Another great vlog I could be interested in fishing party but im in Kent when are you and Chris going fishing together next do you not feel funny talking to yourself

@MaffTUK

That is a good question Mark Hopefully get a session with Chris later this year. yep Kent is a good old drive mate. As for the talking to yourself question Nope ….it feels perfectly normal as I treat the camera as its YOU I’m talking to, I very rarely talk in the third person and I adopt a one to one approach, I do this intentionally. I want you to feel like you are sat there with me and sharing the experience, believe it or not I also have people whom have poor eyesight and simply listen to the video which is why I explain the environment and what’s going on more than most. I treat each video as a separate story I’m not out to impress anyone, just sharing the moment and I hope that comes across. GREAT QUESTION thank you regards Matt

I love fishing in weather like this as normally have the whole lake to myself, fair play for sticking with it!!

I really enjoyed the video Maff, and good to see you out on the bank again. It was a big ask to catch in those conditions, so no surprise it was a blank. Hope it is not too long before you are videoing another bankside session.

Enjoyed the vlog. Nice to see an honest review of the rods and reels. Been thinking about buying a set of the shimano ultegra’s for a while but keep hearing about the same problems with them. Your review has definitely made my mind up not to buy a set of ultegra’s. 👍

Thank you Christopher, Yes those reals were a real problem for me but the new rods and reals felt really good. I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform this year but a very positive start, regards Matt

Hey maff love your video as always and a good laugh. I thought to mention one thing about those reels, they are great and I had 4 of them,(fox 12000xc) but I did notice one design flaw and fox didn't want to know when I reached out to them. when the spool is fully extended and you want to flick The bail arm it catches the spool and doesn't allow you too the angle of the bail arm is wrong on them slightly but it's only when the spool is fully extended. So you just got to bare that in mind before casting. Thanks for your videos

what line are you using to cast?,if its more than .35- if you try .35 straight through, ive never found a 12ft 3.5lb rod that wont do 35 wraps, including 28 quid ones like my mates synapse rods and 35 quid prologics, etc etc, the line is a massive thing , combined with a 4oz fat nose distance lead, and practice, with them 13ft rods if you use .35 and a quick park practice i guess you would massively go further, still

WATERMANSHIP.....did you make that word up 😂

@MaffTUK

6 ай бұрын

LOL long answer you may need to scroll down .... Now to be fair ive seen this comment in the in tray and have been looking forward to answering it because.......I had never heard of it until i started carping so I am 100% guilty of monkey see monkey do... It falls in the same word category as watercraft and waterskills and you genuinely made me laugh asking this question. Anyway moving on:- here is the background of said word The word Watermanship Word History:-First Known Use 1830, Means : technique or expertness in rowing : technique or expertness in swimming Clearly nothing originally to do with carping but neither was or is watercraft or waterskills all three are used in the same principle or concept to describe the act of “understanding the water your fishing in an attempt to conquer its inhabitants.” In actual fact, we carpers have adopted these words to fill the gap of what it is we are trying to achieve.! I guess I'm just as bad as all the rest..... Thank you @Wmcn55 for making find out the real meaning of the word LOL🤣🤣 ps...., Im still gunna use it 👍...... i like it......

Same for me with them bloody reels crap the bailarm to thin to kept bending in my rod bag need to make them better so got basias totally different ball game
