Welcome to Trakker Talk – the carp fishing podcast built for anglers who want to catch more carp and understand what really works on the bank.

From adapting your baiting approach and location choices to understanding how carp recover after spawning, this episode is packed with practical insight for anglers looking to stay one step ahead during the warmer months. We also answer this week’s listener question: Is there a standard lead size we all use – and why do we change it? The team dive into their personal preferences on carp fishing lead sizes, lead shapes, camouflage, presentation and when to fish the biggest possible lead versus scaling things back. From subtle setups to maximum efficiency, you’ll hear exactly why each angler makes the choices they do.
