The Korda UNCUT Podcast returns and with Damian missing, the lads are joined by Big Carp fishing pro Oscar Thornton (Mindset) - fresh off the back of a session that was meant to take weeks… but was wrapped up in just 10 days.Fishing a low-stock lake with a handful of target carp, Oscar committed early: pick an area, bait it properly, and sit on it. While others were fishing light and moving on showing fish, he went the other way - find out exactly what he did to get the quick win. It's a proper look at backing your own approach and letting it play out.
In this episode of the Korda Thinking Tackle Podcast, we're joined by Ash Palethorpe. Ash has built an incredible carp fishing album over the years, featuring a huge collection of massive carp from some of the country's most renowned venues. In this episode, he dives into some of his most memorable captures, sharing the stories, tactics, and moments behind the fish that stand out the most. One story in particular comes from a very obscure and unexpected location — proving that big carp can turn up where you least expect them! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
In this episode of Thinking Tackle Uncut Podcast, Tom Dove talks through with Neil Spooner, Damian Clarke and Adam Reed about one of his toughest runs in recent memory - weeks of effort, plenty of time on the bank, and very little back for it. The kind of spell every angler hits, but not everyone admits to. From there, it turns into a proper conversation about sticking things out, understanding bite times, and why one bite can completely reset everything. Along the way, the lads get into how modern fishing pressure, changing seasons, and bait are influencing how lakes fish now compared to years ago.

This week's Thinking Tackle Uncut takes a slightly different turn as Guru's Matt Godfrey joins Tom, Spooner and Adam in the studio. One of the most respected anglers in the match fishing world, Matt brings a completely different perspective - and the conversation quickly turns to something that both disciplines obsess over: bait. From casters and maggots to meat, boilies and feeding strategies, the lads explore The PERFECT bait to catch more so they can transform results. In match fishing, when fish want a specific bait and you feed only that, the results can be world championship-winning - and the same thinking often applies in carp fishing too. Alongside the bait chat there's also plenty of Uncut discussion around big carp captures, record fish, and the ongoing debate around stocking artificially grown giants into lakes.

Tom Dove, Neil Spooner, Damian Clarke and Adam Reed discuss how some carp fishing rigs don't stop working - they just fall out of favour. In this episode of Thinking Tackle Uncut, the full team revisits some of their favourite RETRO carp rigs that once went out on every rod: Tom's old Muzza Rig, Spooner's trusted Naked Chod Rig, and the shift toward the now-dominant Spinner rig. From corked-bottom baits and aggressive hook positioning to stiff hooklinks, quick-change setups, and modern hook sharpness, the lads break down why certain carp fishing rigs caught loads — and why they're rarely tied today.

Plus, Danny also talks openly about going on social media for the first time (It only took 26 years) and why it's never been a priority until now. The lads cannot believe it and have a few questions.

In this packed episode of the Thinking Tackle Podcast UNCUT, it's a busy studio as the lads return with a deep dive into recent trips, target fish talk, and some proper fishing laughs. Fresh from France, Spooner and Dovey reflect on their last-minute switch to Laroussie for the annual Carpathon challenge, where they took on eight anglers in boiling hot conditions. Back in the UK, they head to Wrasbury for some short session fishing, while Adam Reed reveals the full story behind launching his new river campaign – a serious mission involving boat swaps, long drives, and plenty of graft… plus he catches one. As always, there's a good mix of carp fishing insight and the kind of stories only an angler could tell – from close encounters with toads in bivvies, to thoughts on when to fish for target carp and how spawning affects the timing. Standout moments include: • The bonkers toad-in-the-bivvy story that left Spooner screaming in the dark • Reed's dream river opener, landing a 29lb+ mirror after a marathon prep effort • A frank chat about catching carp post-spawn – does size really matter? • Spooner catching the same fish twice in one trip and what that says about luck in angling • The team's go-to baiting strategies during summer heat and low-pressure conditions • Some classic bankside chaos, from slugs and rats to boat mishaps and misjudged casts #ThinkingTackle #KordaPodcast #CarpFishing
