Show Notes
The Uncut Podcast lads are joined by one of big carp fishing's most consistent anglers, Ian Bailey. Tom Dove, Damian Clarke and Adam Reed (No Spooner this week) know Ian’s track record and have lots of questions.
Despite him keeping a low profile, Bailey has quietly put together another incredible run of captures, including multiple UK 40s from a variety of waters. The conversation dives into the mindset that's made him such a consistent angler, why he avoids the noise around modern carp fishing, and the simple tactics he trusts everywhere he goes.There's also plenty of discussion around presentation, baiting accurately at range, plastic corn, choosing the right waters, and why location still outweighs everything else.🎧 In this episode: Ian Bailey's latest run of UK 40lb carp Why he keeps his fishing private and avoids following the crowd Picking the right waters instead of chasing rumours Fishing with a spinner rig, plastic maize and Boom Why presentation at range is all about hitting the clip properly Adjusting for depth and staying accurate over bait Northwyk, Cawcutts and recent big carp captures Pike fishing, Norfolk Broads and why Bailey still loves doing something different
It's a proper big carp episode with one of the most consistent anglers in the country, sharing the little details and mindset that make the biggest difference.📬 Want to join the Spooner’s 50 Club in 2026 (Last Chance).Send your UK 50 entries to: [email protected] more information, visit:http://www.kordatackle.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/kordaofficial http://instagram.com/kordaofficial
