Total Carp  |  February 2013
Check out the February issue of Total Carp, the app for the UK’s biggest-selling carp fishing magazine. It might be cold outside and your local pond might still be frozen, but we’ve got a bumper winter issue packed with great stuff to read and tactics to try out when the thaw eventually comes.
Jim Shelley has been absolutely slaying ’em again of late, and he tells a fascinating story of what he’s been up to this month. Dave Lane pens the final instalment of his big-carp diary by looking back at the highlights of the 12 months just passed. The extraordinarily talented Simon Scott reveals a great way to bulk out more expensive baits with cheaper ingredients, and proves that they work by catching a carp or two live for the cameras, while cover star Tom Maker takes Linear’s Brasenose One apart. See how he does it and how his simple tactics can be used to help you catch more carp too.
All of this plus Kev Hewitt’s Top Method tactics, Nick Helleur’s new stick mixes and much more help to complete our line-up of top carp-catching features from some of the best anglers in the business.
As well as all this, our editor answers some of those questions that you might be too embarrassed to ask, there’s seven great tips for February, five things you might not know about fluorocarbon and loads of the latest tackle and bait products reviewed, including our bit-sized Buyer’s Guide to baiting needles and tools, and in-depth reviews of some brilliant new TF Gear thermal clothing, Aqua Products’ new Atom bivvy and a range of new rods from Shimano, made with everybody’s budget in mind.
If that sounds like a lot to pack into one magazine, there’s more – buy this issue before February 21st and you can enter our competitions and be in with a chance of winning some fabulous kit from Nash, Fox, Sonik and ESP.
