Great video mate! What chair are you using in the vid? Look pretty sweet for bank fishing

Great insight !

Yes edgbaston reservoir I've seen dream up to nearly 20 lb in weight and if you are good fisherman you could catch bream between 150 to 200 in weight my personal best in bream in edgbaston reservoir was 250 in white the roach go to 5 in weight the carp mirror and commons go to 30 +and there is some still big pike and there is free big catfish

Good videos, subscribed!

Thanks for the infos!

Great videos! Good info!

Great series, so much information!

Love this video

Bought my Barbel rod from Cadence, best rod ive ever used.

Just ordered a couple of the 10ft Specimen rods 1 for me & 1 for the Mrs. Love the look of the Specimen Rods wanted the 5000 reels but you had none left so the 4000 will do. We wanted a slightly shorter rod than our 12ft Barbel & Carp rods we have as will be Ideal for closer work on smaller rivers like the Teme. We also wanted a versatile rod that could also be used on still waters float fishing. As we usually do a lot of float fishing but would also like the option to switch over to ledger fishing when needed. Most of our fishing is Specimen Tench, chub, Barbel, Crucian, Rudd & Roach fishing. But to have a rod that can handle a carp if necessary is a great. After watching Des's videos of fishing with the Specimen rods & that he has been involved in the Design of the rods was one of the reasons we have bought them. They look expertly thought out in there design by an Experienced Specimen angler such as Des Taylor. Looking forward for them to arrive. Regards John & Tracey

Best pegs produce the best fish.

Fished Ken last year for the first time , the cray fish were stripping our dead bait like crazy , when reeling them back in it looked like something from a cartoon it was just a skeleton. After about 4 hours of our dead bait being stripped we basically gave up and put a rod out with maggot again the feeders were being emptied as quick as they were going out so another change of tactics was needed… out came the soft baits and lures as they were constantly moving they were the only thing not being taken by the cray… safe to say I doubt I would go back unless we hired a boat

I started fishing in 2019 when I was 30. Wished I'd started 30 years earlier. But when I searched youtube, your videos were what popped up. So I watched them. And 5 years later I'm still watching the old favourites, and this is chief amongst them. Thankyou!

Can anyone tell me if cadence vigor is a good spinning reel or not?

Always a pleasure to watch these two. The Cadence rods and reels are getting rave reviews.

Where do I find one of those carbon stems

Jesus, all that gear for a few tiddlers😂 lol. I'll take my nice feeder rod and comfy seat with backrest anyday.

Wow! I used to fish Docklow up until ab 15 years ago. It's matured into a really spectacular venue! I'll have to visit again.

Cracking watch during closed season.

The best tip is to fish where there is some Tench

Thank you for your useful tips! Very useful content! Very nice fish!

How did he get out to where he is sitting? I am always surprised that fishermen seem to re construct a whole business office when fishing, they could motorise it and drive the whole suit to the lake .

Love Des!

There is something special about tench...I often go past docklow on the way to my parents...is the tench pool day ticket ?

When I was a youngster (early eighties). You could catch tench on every canal in my area, also the local park lakes were prolific tench waters. Carp were rare and celebrated, but it was tench that provided the majority of the sport. Now, you can't find a tench water anywhere near me, but carp puddles are abundant. I'd rather catch covid, than catch a carp.

I know we all watch these matchman type videos, but Mr Taylor proper fishing. Thank you

Nice video Des and cadence. I fully agree with the end being white/ different colour especially if using for bottom fishing. Weirdly I've got the cadence 13 8 power feeder and that doesn't have a coloured tip! I think they do now.

Could sit on the bank all day with Des and listen to his knowledge 🎣

Films like this are the nearest I can get to catching tench these days. There's nowhere near me that has tench waters like this. Everyone wants to to stuff the waters full of carp and F1s, which quite frankly soon gets boring.

unless single hookbait fishing ,tench are gill feeders

Fantastic video 👏🏼👏🏼

It doesn't get much better than this! Stunning venue, the water absolutely fizzing with tench! Great video...many thanks

A very good angler and the most beautiful fishes

That 1lb twin tip rod is a classic. Extremely versatile!

Nice video, lovely lake

Wondering what kind of meat is used? Is it beef or pork? Canned or home cooked?

Merci beaucoup pour cette belle vidéo on s'y croirait

Great to see more videos. You make the best ones!

Wonder when this was recorded?

The world needs more tench fishing films,thank you Des and cadence 👏👏👏

Beautiful!

will this accept a 1oz quiver tip pls?

Hello James! Congratulations for your, as always, very informative presentation! I understand that CP800 is meant to be used with the elastic, but would it be totally wrong if someone uses it as a stronger whip with a longer line? Being very lightweight even at 9 meters, and, perhaps, with a top 2 or top 3 match kit, if that gives some more elasticity in comparison to the power kit, I wonder if CP800 could offer some extra stiffness and power in comparison e.g. to your CP200 whip product. Particularly, I have a specific style of fishing in mind that we are practicing in Greece, which is float fishing in sea from rocks in wavy conditions, using lines in bigger diameters and strong whips that have enough power to lift up fishes of considerable size, sometimes even without using the net (e.g. white sea breams up to 1 kilos or mullets even larger). As a margin pole that can be used to fight much bigger freshwater species like carps that weigh several kilos, even with the elastic, I wonder if CP800 could handle situations like the one I describe as well, without the elastic. I would really appreciate your opinion on this.

Great o see you both out again.

Smashing video. Two good mates having a great day. What fishing is all about, brilliant!

Brilliant video mate...

Afternoon James, love watching all the videos you produce. Always very informative and well as entertaining. I was just wondering in the case of this video why you would not use a centrepin reel to enable you to control the float through the swim. I am a little bias as I use pins as much as I can get away with.

Same as me

Hi James and Paul. James you helped me last year sort me out my cp800 which I love..only managed to use it a couple of times but once I recover from open heart surgery which has been a complete shock,I'll start using it much more!!! At the moment I'm not looking at getting longer pole but is there in the future a chance to make this margin pole slightly longer to say 10 or 11mtr?
