Marcus Howarth sent us these lovely photo’s of a very nice mirror he caught on a social session at the weekend:
‘Here’s a pic of a lovely mirror I had the other day on a social night with friends Gaz and Rich.
Well after a good night with banter, carpy chat and a greasy kebab which always seem’s a good idea until you have eaten half of it. Anyway we got are heads down for the night.
Morning came and with Gaz waking me up it seemed that one of my alarms didn’t register a take oh no!! The fish was still on but unfortunately that turned out to be a lost fish to a hook pull. Gutted.
With most of the kit packed up and ready to go my other rod bursts into life and after a proper brutal battle the fish was in the net yes buzzing!!! The Smiles were back’.
The successful rig was a stiff hinge incorporating the usual ESP bits, a new tungsten coated braid for the boom, new as yet to be released leadcore and the trusty old 15lb Syncro.
Nearly there…Gaz acts as ghillie
Yessssss!!! Gaz does the business with the net and its hugs all round.
Perfect proportions, big heart tail, what a carp!
