  1. Wow this thread was pretty surprising to see, considering I just got off the phone with my bank about fraudulent activity with my card. All online shopping stuff (flowers, car parts, dating sites, etc.) luckily for me they were greedy and all the charges were over my credit limit. I wonder if the security of one of our tackle vendors has been jeopardized. I most recently purchased from carp kit but I have also ordered from wacker and big carp in the last month or two.

  2. I have replaced alot of my BFS gear that I started with over the years with pricier bigger name products whereas some of their products are just as good as the big name stuff and I will never need to replace (rig wallet, weigh sling, throwing spoon etc.). But more importantly, I feel that I probably wouldn't have ever started fishing euro style if the low cost BFS products weren't available to get me into it. So in my opinion BFS fills an important niche in the US market.

  3. Just got my new wychwood alarms from CarpKit and I am incredibly pleased with the service I got. I have always been apprehensive to order before fearing there would be high shipping costs from a Canadian retailer, well the shipping was reasonable and I got a great deal on the alarms, happy to have CarpKit join the rotation with the domestic retailers I already order from.

  4. I saw this earlier today on carppro, the comment thread is an entertaining read. Carp haters getting mocked and chastised by other flyfishermen. To see carp being accepted in the fly fishing world is very heartening considering the snobby elitist attitude that has been associated with fly fishing. If guys that treasure $3000 bamboo sticks and 10" stocked fish can embrace a "trash fish" surely we can get the bass fisherman and bowkillers onboard with us any day now.

  5. I am surprised they are not sued for using the same name as the Gardner Bait Bomb.

    I immediately thought the same thing, the people at gardner should slap a cease and desist letter on this thing asap. Surely a big plastic time released spod doo-hickey laying 6 inches from your hook bait is going to spook fish.

  6. I find it pretty hard to believe any creature is incapable of feeling pain, and articles like this wont convince the peta crowd either. Catch and release fishing is a pretty absurd thing when you think about it, we take time and energy to capture a source of food only to let it go. If the evolution of man repeated itself a million times over c an r fishing would probably never reoccur as a common pursuit.

  7. I know Lake James took some efforts to eradicate carp and gar when I was in grade school, this has probably been close to 20 years ago though. An area in NW Indiana that I have intentions to explore is Lake Webster and other surrounding lakes in Kosciusko county, I have aquaintances that fish for Muskie in the area and often come back with accounts of carp over 36 inches, weedy banks are common with these lakes though.
