Avid Carpers 8

Hello and welcome to the first Avid Carpers magazine of 2014. I hope you had a great Christmas and I’d like to wish everybody a Happy New Year. Hopefully, the year ahead will be full of screaming runs, epic battles and lots of big, fat carp for all of us.

The last 12 months have been absolutely incredible and I’ve got to start by thanking you for your continued support and great feedback regarding our products. It appears we’re continuing to get a lot of things right and our innovative and well-designed tackle is proving popular with anglers across the UK and Europe. As a brand, we’re going from strength to strength and I’d like to thank you guys, the anglers using our gear, for all your support.
Looking forward, we’re going to be continuing our quest to help you catch more carp. As well as releasing more innovative products that will improve your success, we’re going to do everything we can to make Avid Carpers magazine bigger, better and more feature-packed than ever. Over the coming months expect to see more features and tips than ever before.

In this issue there’s a feature with me about the advantages of using tubing, a PVA article with Ian Russell and a neat rig piece with Nigel Williams. What’s more, there’s the full story behind Ed Matthews’ 80lb Hungarian monster from Euro Aqua.
