We are back to the full team (including Neil Spooner, finally!), and the guys get together around the table. One of the big debated topics – should you fish a high-vis hookbait, or match the hatch? From fluoro pop-ups to subtle food baits, the lads break down when, where, and why each approach can make the difference between a blank and a red-letter day.

Expect plenty of real-world examples, laughs, and a few strong opinions. 

We also take a look back at the first-ever Kontender young carp angling event, which brought together some of the best young talent in the country for a weekend of learning, competing, and serious fish catching. With over 1,400 entries for just 50 places, it’s clear the next generation of carp anglers is stronger than ever.

Plus, we find out a little bit more from Tom Dove and Neil Spooner as they discuss Underwater Carplantis Pt2 (Out Now). 

In this episode, you’ll also hear about:

• When to use high-vis hookbaits – and when they’ll work against you

• Why matching the hatch can sometimes outsmart pressured carp

• Real captures and stories that prove the point on both sides

• Highlights from Kontender, and what it means for the future of carp fishing
