We've done a little competition in this weeks Carp-Talks bumper issue. The Xmas issue  is always a little bit special and as a seasonal gesture to the carp talk readership, one lucky angler will win a set of  ALL GREEN MK1 COMPACTS!
if you enter it then your in with a shout, they're going to land on someone's door step this Xmas!
Of course you'll also find some of the country's finest and biggest carp making occasional appearances in the magazine and so its always worth getting a copy to find out what's coming out and from what waters.  Have a great Xmas, Scott Edwards / E.C.U 

   

We've built the 2nd batch of mk1 compacts, well 90% at least as were still completing the `All Red Sets`. and were just starting to re supply the uk carp shops once more and the European outlets.
The sponsored anglers  who are waiting to here from me, im maxed out presently with  customer orders and builds but rest assured Dec / Jan time now i`ll be in touch. :)  2016s going to be an interesting year for us I've plenty planned and I`ll discuss in detail more in the future. here's wishing everyone a merry xmas, I know my Mrs is getting me a couple of carp books to add to my book case collection so im happy with that.   

Gio from  that well respected European magazine MONKEY CLIMBER has been in touch to say the latest edition is out now. what a tremendous cover shot, like cradling a baby whale! who needs words with photos like that on your  front cover! Im looking forward to receiving my copy through the post very soon! Please make a full on replicated English version I know English lads would get behind the mag Gio ;)!
Here's what Gio had to say on the current issue....

I had to share these photos with you anglers that follow my facebook and website news blog, no detailed info to give you, except the location is Morocco!  Terry's a man of few words! But have a look at this Common carp, its like a giant goldfish another stunner that's been banked whilst using the mk1 compacts. A little bit of paradise in the photos im happy to share and look at Terry's smile, now there's a happy man, life doesn't get any better than that. thanks Terry for sharing the info and kindly letting me post it up on my site.

Sebastian Treinat  of hzbaits.de has been amongst the fish recently, and on a recent trip to a large working German gravel pit he`s managed to bank some real beauties.

The carp look like they've never been banked before, completely immaculate!

For me this is one of the big appeals of European fishing is fishing lakes that have fish in them of this pedigree that may of never seen a hook or unhooking mat in their lifetime. If indeed they have, they've been very well cared for as these carp are stunning and really look like they've never been banked! 
Seb caught a string of fish on his session the biggest being a near upper 30lb mirror carp.
Here's what Seb had to say.......
