    UNCUT Podcast #018: Captain Reed Turns River Disaster Into River Monster

    In this packed episode of the Thinking Tackle Podcast UNCUT, it’s a busy studio as the lads return with a deep dive into recent trips, target fish talk, and some proper fishing laughs. Fresh from France, Spooner and Dovey reflect on their last-minute switch to Laroussie for the annual Carpathon challenge, where they took on eight anglers in boiling hot conditions. Back in the UK, they head to Wrasbury for some short session fishing, while Adam Reed reveals the full story behind launching his new river campaign – a serious mission involving boat swaps, long drives, and plenty of graft… plus he catches one. As always, there’s a good mix of carp fishing insight and the kind of stories only an angler could tell – from close encounters with toads in bivvies, to thoughts on when to fish for target carp and how spawning affects the timing. Standout moments include: • The bonkers toad-in-the-bivvy story that left Spooner screaming in the dark • Reed’s dream river opener, landing a 29lb+ mirror after a marathon prep effort • A frank chat about catching carp post-spawn – does size really matter? • Spooner catching the same fish twice in one trip and what that says about luck in angling • The team’s go-to baiting strategies during summer heat and low-pressure conditions • Some classic bankside chaos, from slugs and rats to boat mishaps and misjudged casts   #ThinkingTackle #KordaPodcast #CarpFishing

    UNCUT Podcast #014: Fairbrass & Peck TAKEOVER whilst the lads film Underwater

    In this episode of the Thinking Tackle Podcast UNCUT, top Korda anglers Danny Fairbrass and Darrell Peck take the reins while the main crew are out filming the next instalment of the iconic Korda Underwater series. What follows is an unfiltered deep dive into the realities of modern carp fishing—from the high-stakes pressure of filming underwater, to the meticulous evolution of rig mechanics and the tactical mindset needed to stay ahead. Danny and Darrell reflect on their past Underwater experiences, offering unique insights into the psychology of angling, the obsession with marginal gains, and how mental resilience shapes success on the bank. As always, Danny shares his thoughts on lake management, carp behaviour, and the long-term effects of angling pressure, while Darrell brings his trademark clarity to discussions on adapting tactics and staying consistent in ever-changing conditions. This is a candid, thought-provoking and genuinely useful listen for anyone serious about their carp fishing. With talk of new Korda films, advanced rig strategy, and real behind-the-scenes anecdotes, this episode goes far deeper than your average session chat. The NEW Thinking Tackle Podcast UNCUT will now be available every two weeks.   #podcast #carpfishing #kordapodcast #thinkingtacklepodcast #carpfishinguk #teamkorda #kordapodcast #carpfishingvideos #fishing #carpfishingpodcast #korda #dannyfairbrass #darrellpeck #adamreed
