0ver the years, months, days! I always amass a great spectrum of customer photos that ive spotted on the net or have been emailed or texted into me that have got some form or other an ecu product in the shot.
These photos show a few pics of the ecu optonic upgrades I did for a long time aswel as the mk1 compacts that we all now no. im always interested to see what anglers are using regarding rods, reels, hangers etc. I think we all have a fascination with set ups to some degree. for me it started as a school boy walking round the uk north west pits and admiring the cardinal 55 reels and the converted optonics and wishing I too could afford a set up like what some of the older lads were using. theres only so much status you can get with using silstar rods! this was in the 1980 period. but we all start somewhere. the silstar rods were dropped after a summer or two and I finally managed when I was about 18 to get dam quick stick carp rods. now these had some looks to them, deep chestnut blanks and leather wrapped butt handle finished off with abreviated duplon around the fuji reel seats. I was finally starting to look like a carp angler. my first carp reels were Mitchell 225ORD reels. that I blacked out and debadged.....enjoy the photos ;)

Jamie Peters set up. faultless....
Russell Phillips immaculate set up. a very classic set up with ptfe hangers and cork handled rods. a great photo looking out into the lake willing the hangers to lift.....
Another moody shot from Russ Phillips. great camera angle to get this shot. and those moody clouds tell me a thunderstorm isn't far away. How many times as carp anglers have we had a run just as the lightening thunders and the heavens open? I can count a few times and I bet im not the only one that's got drenched diving out of a bivvy just as the heavens have opened up......
