Gavin Phillips emailed me last night with an outstanding photo of a huge monster carp he's just landed on his mk1 compacts, I'm sure you'll agree he's well and truly christened his alarms! I'm stacked up with angler photos to put up on the site, but all the new tackle developments are commanding all my time up. But over the next few days `ill try to post up more photos of some nice carpy shots and big old carp that have come out to anglers using my alarms.
Here's Gavin's story about his monster record breaker carp aptly named....THE BARREL!
Here's Gavin's story about his monster record breaker carp aptly named....THE BARREL!
``Hi Scott as recently discussed fella see details of the capture of Barrel at 72.08 lbs from Echo Pool France.
Brief description of capture - After struggling for past 9 days with none of the big fish active a change in weather brought good fortune on our last night. With only 6hrs remaining I had a slight tremor beep off the right hand rod, that focused my attention and heart stopping seconds later erupted into a full blown one toner!........
A long 45min battle, mostly under the rod tips resulted in slipping the net under a brute of a carp ! Shaking with excitement it finally hit me that my main target fish and largest Mirror in the lake sat sulking in the net !! The Barrel at an incredible 72lb 8ozs.
Alarms were faultless fella and very good at picking up the fine bites you get with these big fish. Love them and look forward to more products you will be releasing. ``

Great photos Gav, and love the set up, for those of you that are eagle eyed, you might see Gavin using one of my very sought after dmx snag pods, they're on my `to do` list and once I find the time I will get back on their machining, but there's a few other big products in line before I get to them but I am looking at a re-release this year of this fine stainless.
