Carp fishing legend Martin Locke joins Tom Dove, Damian Clarke and Adam Reed for a BIG CARP Uncut Podcast. From starting Solar Tackle in the 1980s to landing some of the biggest carp ever caught, Martin's story is one of passion, innovation, and proper old-school graft. He also reflects on his recent campaign that produced a possible British Record carp — proving that decades on, he's still doing it at the very highest level.

Damo and Tom go deep with Martin on everything from the early days of carp fishing and making his first buzz bars in a machine shop, to the moment he founded one of the most iconic brands in angling. Expect honesty, nostalgia, and plenty of laughs — this one captures exactly where carp fishing came from, and how much it's evolved.

🎣 In This Episode:

• How Solar Tackle was born in a garage
• The story behind "Sally", the legendary logo fish
