Ive been with with Garbolino now for over four years, in that time the brand grows from strength to strength and as a result this has help my fishing!

tip of the month.

“I love using the Bazookarp Orange elastic in summer for all my carping. By setting it quite slack any size of fish can pull it out so far but then the pressure kicks in and the fish struggle to get up any speed which means that I am in control rather being at the fish's mercy. You don't need to pull hard as the elastic does all the work for you.”

Top Tip:

When fishing tight to far bank reeds it can be a real problem to see your float properly. The DC6 has a thin hollow plastic antenna which natural daylight illuminates making it much easier to see. You can then dot the float down and lift on every indication. This is one of the most effective ways to catch F1 Carp.
