Echo that. Keep up your stirling approach to angling Tom. A fantastic ambassador to our pastime

I met Tom many years ago on Brasenose 1, he was smashing it carp after carp. I went over had a chat about his tactics and he took time to show me the rigs and how to tie up a small solid bag for a long chuck. Nothing but respect for ya, the green eyed monster is a very real and unfortunately it shows who has your back and whom is willing to stab you in it. More power to you for not rising to them, the cream always floats to the top Tom never forget that buddy

There's a little over 1.1g of isoleucine per 100g of worm, there's 10.08g of isoleucine in a mussel. Mussels are also a really really good bait for carp fishing. It's the natural amino acids they're after.

I've not been following tom long so never heard the horrifying story he's talked about in this. Mental health is being talked about more and more in our sport and Tom's shown he's a fine ambassador for it with those comments. Another great podcast from Korda and another great watch from the big hit angler himself Tom Maker 👏

This guy is a class act, always answers his messages when you have questions and gives ace advice. At 21 i’m still developing my fishing style. Watching and listening to this man has shaped the way i want to be able to fish.

This has to be my favourite podcast, could've listened to Tom all night. Best decision ever to join Korda. Look forward to seeing him on monster carp in the future. Or the underwater, that would be up there. Bravo Tom 👏👏👏

That’s the world we live in sadly, some people will always be jealous of other peoples success and want to put them down. The rise of social media and the want for instant gratification has only made it worse.

What a fantastic podcast. The best one so far. Tom is so honest,open, transparent and knowledgeable that you cannot possibly not learn something. A credit to our sport. So many podcasts are just entertaining stories with guests who can pass something on choosing not to that Tom is a breath of fresh air. 👏 Take a bow Tom and thanks for holding nothing back.

Go on Tom! He's so right about the hours/effort/practice you need to put in in order to become an expert/world class in any area. Carp fishing is no different. FWIW I've never met Tom, but I've fished with Andy (his dad) on a couple of occasions and I know how proud of his son he is, and rightly so. Ultimately in life, I think that's about all that matters - having a loving family around you, supporting them and making them proud. So keep doing what you're doing, Tom: being the best dad, employee and angler you can be. The rest is largely immaterial.

Jim you are are truly one of angling and life’s true gents, comments like that mean so much .

No one is ever happy for people doing well it's so easy to run a man down but say some thing nice is not easy for a lot. I love seeing people doing well and winning in life. Love Tom and glad he's with Korda ! 👊

It all started when kev Hewitt said on the Nash podcast he was using something he knew no one else was using because you couldn't buy it in any shop or tackle shop

Tom is a very nice, articulate guy. All you have to say when someone catches a fish is "Well done". That's it. Great podcast, peace and love.

WOW! Tom Maker is an absolute credit to Korda and a great great ambassador for our sport. He is so relatable to the average angler. His success hasn’t changed him one bit which is great to see. Recently signed up to CineCarp and after watching this even happier to support his work now, True gent. Love it Tom

Honestly, I never believed a word of that nonsense the other year. You're an amazing angler. I'm glad you've come back stronger

Very insightful Korda thank you. I wasn't aware of what Tom has gone through, respect to him. He's a credit to the fishing industry 👏

Listened to this episode in the car today on the way home. One of the most inspirational and yet upsetting episodes I’ve heard to date. Hearing Tom talk about an incident on social media which sounded absolutely awful just because he is a talented angler who found an edge. Glad you are through that and getting rewards you rightly deserve for effort.

What an absolute legend! Every credit for not just your captures and content but overcoming everything that has been thrown at you over recent times! Onwards and upwards 👊👊

Jealousy is an awful emotion in any aspect of life whatever it may be.. Fantastic angler who helps everybody in their own fishing. What you can learn from one video from Tom some people will not learn in a life time. Respect the angler for there catches. People only see the bad side of the individuals involved, whatever happens this Man will always be a carp catching machine and always inventing new ways of catching fish... good on you 👏

Really sorry to hear this has happened - completely unaware. From bits I have seen I have always enjoyed & appreciated what you given to the fraternity. Keep up the good work - you will shine always ☀️🌞☀️

Excellent , and glad he’s been able to have his say

One of my favourites to watch. He’s not fancy in his approach or outlandish in his speech. He has a great mindset and lots we can all learn from him and others - no matter how good you think you are!

I love Tom his an inspiration. My 14 year old said to me a few months back “I want to learn to spod” my only response was “go watch any Tom Maker video” mate your more then a guy that goes fishing your genuine and very easy to watch and understand. I love the way your mind works. Your a legend in the industry keep doing you and looking forward to seeing you flourish now your with the big boys 💚

I remember that bait controversy happening but never realised it was Tom at the centre of it which shows he really was just getting on with it and not lowering himself to their level. What a guy! Ok time to order a bag of worms.......😂

Superb! Andy & Tom are wonderful people. I first met Tom when he was in his teens at one of the early Fox events at Horseshoe. (The first Fox Experience). I was fishing summer bay, Tom was doing tackle demos. Such a fantastic guy who has deserved every result. A talented angler and a good guy all round.

Fair play Tom , nice to hear and listen to this podcast 👌🏻

Well done Tom. Very well worded whilst also saying what needs to be said. U catch loads of fish because you are exceptional at what you do and have dedicated your life to your craft. Big up.

Good for you mate keep doing what you are doing. Watching you is one of the reason I’ve got the bug for going fishing again after 5 years not going

Tom you are one of the most honest guys I think I have ever listened to you speak well in a concise and professional open manner. You should be a very very proud man. Take care and tight lines.

Toms sound you can see he hasn’t changed one bit over the years. He is what he is and that’s a decent bloke that can catch serious amounts of carp. It’s a shame he had to go through all that shit just for some fishing. If I see you on the bank Tom il buy you a cherry coke brother.

A very thought provoking podcast ..not just about the fishing aspects ..but the online bullying...its a horrible sad part of modern day life.keep on keeping on tom i look forward to seeing/hearing more from you in the future

Listened this over 2 days on Spotify. Fair play to you Tom, you handled it like a champ.

I started carp fishing over 6 years ago due to mental health and followed Tom maker he has taught me so much about carp fishing your a top guy mate what a inspiration well done mate

Best podcast Korda have done by far. As others have said Tom, the worst thing about fishing is other ‘anglers’ keep smashing it up

Definitely one of the best podcasts, Toms honesty and integrity was laid bare for all to hear.

Great podcasts from a Top angler. I had the pleasure to meet Tom and a rh fisheries tutorial event, he was nothing but perlite and interested in how everyone elses fishing had gone.

Tom I am proud of you, keep doing what you love. You have helped me improve my angling. I thank you.

Enjoyed that one, good on you Tom for not rising to it👍

Excellent podcast. Tom is clearly a very good angler and deserves his success. Wish him all the best.

2 1/2 hour podcast felt like 10 mins brilliant that was could have listened to Tom talk all day! Great move by Korda to get him on your team 👍👍

brilliant podcast, glad to see you come to korda tom wish you all the best for the bright future you with have with the korda team. Would be class to see a Dove and Spooner vs Maker and Stokes video, also tom remember people are like ice you think there solid but under a bit of heat they melt away glad you pulled through the awful situation and made the best move by coming to korda.

An articulate, frank and informative interview…Well done Tom, a credit to carp fishing.

Well done Tom, what a great podcast. This made my 4hr journey last week in France pass in no time. You have most certainly dealt with this in the right way so keep your chin up and ignore the negative comments. You have loads of us out there that love your content so keep it coming. All the best for your future with Korda.

Well done Tom. When I saw this and the length of the pod cast. I'd amit I didn't think I'd of watched it all. But I have and enjoyed the whole thing, and just wanted to state. You shouldn't of needed to explain yourself again about that. Bloody well done for getting on with it and being strong. A role model for many people fella and you should be proud as I know your family will be.

Loved the podcast. Was surprised when Tom signed for Korda at first but he fits the company so well. Hopefully get to meet him on the bank one day.

Excellent interview, Thank Tom for sharing your thoughts.

Absolute brilliant podcast and fantastic insight into the BS that Tom has had to deal with. I meet Tom at farlows one day whilst looking for a peg to fish with my wife I knew who he was but didn’t wanna approach him like a fan boy so I made out I didn’t know him at all. He was an absolute gentleman he spoke to me and said he was leaving soon did I want to jump in behind him and even put me on an area where he had caught from that night. Top bloke keep up the good work Tom and all the best at Korda 👍🏻

Brilliant podcast,Loved every minute. And a fantastic angler too . Loads of carp angles would love to have done what he has at 32 years old . Top Man .

Great video Tom, just keep doing what your doing. Your an inspiration to thousands 👌

Great podcast - Tom is a truly genuine guy, extremely talented angler and humble. 👏

Excellent podcast. Tom is a class act!

Im abit late to the party but so glad to see Tom join Korda to bring his level of experience within fishing to us all, sorry to hear what you had gone through but welcome to the korda family and god bless. 🎣👍

Looked forward to this one, probably one of the best korda podcast

Mr Tom maker never change how you are a brilliant angler .and you deserve all success that comes your way

The king of carping in my eyes along side dovey and the Korda team . Great watch for me being a fisherman of 60 yrs and still get out on my syndicate couple of nights a week. Will watch this again on the bank. Keep being yourself Tom your a credit to your family and well done to Korda 🎣🎣

It’s so sad to see how much of a price success can come at, I had no idea what you went through Tom and huge huge props to you for coming through it.. great to see your progression as a person over all these years. It’s so so difficult to be in the top 1% of what you do, you’ve stuck at it and it’s commendable. Well done for speaking out, not to mention I’ve learnt loads ❤️👊🏽

Loved watching this Podcast, will never understand the reasons why people troll/abuse online, please Tom has pushed past it and become even more successful, he's got his priorities sorted!

WOW! One of the most informative pods to date.

How anyone could hate against such a nice humble chap like Tom is beyond me...I met him once at barts lake and he was top notch...had time for ya and was happy to talk to us...a real nice lad...all the best to him.

Great podcast Tom. There will always be jealous people that don't get the time and effort you put into your fishing to get your results. The fact that you represent Korda the biggest brand out there in carp fishing and have support from Danny says it all. Continue to be innovative in your fishing and catch lots of fish and ignore the haters. Love the section on hearing about your early sessions fishing with your dad lovely memories.

Fantastic insight to your love of fishing and Fantastic podcast Tom great to see you at korda

What a humble and genuine lad, who just loves fishing and is an absolute huge talent and inspiration for the sport. There’s always hatred and jealousy on the internet but the love and respect is far greater for him. Big respect to you Tom keep on what you do and enjoy your time fishing.

Top fella & very much genuine. Absolutely top angler. Learnt so much from this video. Hopefully watch some more with his top tips. Keep it up mate.

Excellent podcast. Tom is a class act with a great point of view on things broader than carp angling!

The best and honest interview in a long time well done Tom enjoy your time at korda hope to meet you one day. Ps Spooner Tom & Tom someday. 😊

Great podcast, I could listen Tom for days❤

Fair play Mr Tom Marker I hope you continue in your successful carp fishing career I wish you all the best and hope it goes on forever very best wishes from Mr Ben Golby 👌 👍

For me this is the best podcast so far. Keep doing what you're doing Tom.

Hi Tom just watched your Korda podcast respect for your integrity your an ambassador to carp fishing keep putting 3 on the spot 👍

Love this. You speak so well about everything but particularly how spiteful these online bullies are. Your comments about the real harm they can cause are spot on. We both sat here and said they're jealous. Despicable people. Good on yer Tom!

Great watch and some great points

Amazing podcast with tom I love the way how he fishes for carp and the way he is thinking about carp fishing keep it up Tom wish you all the luck in the world.

Brilliant watch tom keep smashing them lakes 🎣🐟👍mega angler

Top bloke, met him years ago. A lot of people could learn a lot from him, not just about his fishing, but how he handles being a well known person. Keep going Tom and good luck for the rest of the year!

Tom Absolute Machine Maker 💯 nothing but admiration and respect to you 👏 great podcast Korda have an eye for passion dedication and talent Tom has all 3 in abundance well in Korda family ❤🎣

Much respect to every think you have said and you are the one who come out on top. This is probably one of the best fishing and life educational podcast. Keep up the hard work💪

Absolutely brilliant podcast fair play to Tom wish you all the best in the future 👏 👍 mate

Never met Tom, but he’s such a genuine bloke who just loves fishing, and I’m sure I speak for others but I appreciate the information he gives us novice anglers. Thank you Tom 🙏🏾

Fair play for doing this podcast tom. I never actually realised you went through all this im genuinely shocked. Grand scheme of things im glad to here that dark time is in the past! Take care mate & tight lines!

Outstanding podcast Korda , Tom is an outstanding angler who is a perfectionist through shear graft and effort day in day out. Yes it will cause jealousy through anglers who don't , won't spend their life perfecting and improving their natural talent , no different in any sport , the more you put in the more you get out. Exactly right too Tom you didn't but if you did have a cheating edge they wanted it to use not because they were interested in what's morally right/wrong. Thanks for making/agreeing to this podcast Tom / Korda as it's set a record straight I never doubted but a lot did , so glad your family pulled you through it . Huge respect fella 👊 . Steve M

Without a doubt, it's the best podcast so far. Massive thumbs up for talking about those absolute idiots that believed or thought mind-boggling things. I look forward to watching many more videos with Tom in korda colours. Keep doing what you do best, and entertaining and helping other anglers get the best from there time on the bank.

Amazing podcast, definitely need Tom again in soon for another one. Perhaps with Dovey too? Would love to see how their theories and angling differ and listen to them debate over some popular angling related topics and carp fishing FAQs

Tom you are the man .keep doing what your doing smashing it .

Great podcast. Brilliant comments. Congratulations.

Best podcast so far. Definitely gonna get onto more of Tom's videos 👏🏾

Absolutely incredible!!

Great podcast mate, you came across very well 👌🏼. There’s always people out there who will try to put down successful people, it’s all boils down to jealousy. Keep doing your thing 💪🏻🐋

Awesome watch had the pleasure of meeting Tom on the bank many times very aproachab with tips how media turns hobbies into life changing attitudes is Mind-boggling keep up the good work Tom angling is pleasure not life defining 🎣👊😎

Well done tom!!. Put the record straight. Keep doing what you love doing. And great insight in to how you feed a swim also

One of the best haters will hate let them get on with it maker you are one of the best out there keep it up bud

Dont ever really watch full korda pod casts, lose the enjoyment after half an hour or so. but this was great 👍 You're a great angler of course, but more importantly a top chap. cheers for this

The green eyed monster is very real. About 20 years ago, I was catching carp regularly and on all the waters I visited. I had adopted the “Linear Way” or the “Horeshoe Way” of casting two, or even three rods on the spot, spodding and baiting accurately, whereby any angler that became proficient with this method would bag up. Over the course of the next two, or three years, I got absolutely hammered by mates of mine, some of whom I’ve known since we were kids. The ill feeling became even worse when it was known that I had been taken on as a field tester for one of the biggest tackle and bait companies in Europe. As a result of this jealousy, I fell out of love with carp fishing and I just packed it in about 10 years ago. I did another session just before the pandemic and enjoyed it. But I haven’t bothered since. I literally lost, so called good friends of mine, because I caught more fish than them. Credit to Tom for keeping going with his career and to not let toxic people affect him too much

Your one of the most inspiring carp angler out there ive leaned so much off you so keep your chin up and do what you do best in and out of work Top bloke 👏 👍 ❤

tom you a credit to your family and fishing industry . would love to meet you keep going ive been at the bottom of life and you are very right take care

Brilliant podcast Tom a minority of people just can not help them selves at being negative. It boils down to them being insecure and jealous .I love your videos on KZread and follow you on Facebook you are an inspiration to all carp anglers. I have experienced what you have been through being wrongly accused of breaking rules it’s not a nice experience. Some minority of carp fishing will always be present just keep doing what we all love and ignore the negativity comments..All the best at Korda I’m sure you are enjoying your new surroundings. All the best buddy and tight lines.

Tom's a gentleman genuine bloke love watching his vids what does it matter what you use its about catching carp which tom is exceptionally good as what he does

I’ve been following Tom since I started fishing … he is the reason why I use Krill after struggling to find a solid bait, this worm game sounds interesting. What a lad … I can’t stress how much this guy has given to get where he is and I have only been fishing for 5 years, great inspiration. Good things are happening to him because of the effort he has given … I’m just saying
