Show Notes
In this episode of Thinking Tackle Uncut, Neil Spooner tells the full story behind landing the 67lb UK common that stunned everyone. From a last-minute invite to Waterside from the guys at Cypography, a simple Solid Bag approach, and not even realising what he'd hooked until it was in the net, it's a capture he'll never forget. Alongside the celebrations, the lads catch up on recent sessions, Germany trips, river fishing, and why simple tactics still catch the biggest carp.
