Carp Fishing a Day Ticket Lake with Old School Vintage Tackle! 

Good to see old tactics as well as old tackle - yes we do over complicate things at times

Blade of grass under the hair and a washing up bottle lid for an indicator, classic.. Great stuff

Crackin watch as always loved that one brings back memories usin old school tackle i use to love my close face reel for trotting on the rivers 👌

crikey takes me back to when I started, great upload, enjoyed this, many thanks!

Great video. Takes me back to when me and my dad first started fishing together.

Haha, that took me back to the days of my old mitchel match reel, five in one diawa rod, must admit back in the day barbed hooks were all the rage, well done!

Ah grasshopper...old skool tactics...fishing with dad back in t'day, as a yout'...strong is the power of Crabtree with this one😅, good vid neph' , 😀 good response, looking forward to spring' oh wha'sa ghostie? C'ya' unca s 🐟🐟🐟👍😎🦀🚂

Loved this iv got a pair of 300s and still use them once or twice a year their still going strong

You Sir, literally took me back to the 80's! I even used bottle caps as indicators ))) Happy times!

Awesome watch total old school fishing onto the next adventure tightlines look forward to the next video 🎣 👊

That reel😂 awsome video shaun.. i started carpin early 2000s about 2007using old wychwood stuff there rods etc. also my rig set up was lead with a leadger stop an ready rig😂 still caught carp also used prawns as bait or meat

Brilliant, what a result.

Where would Carp anglers be with out John Wilson, Matt Hayes and Des Taylor on TV back in the day lol . Great video 🎣🎣

In the 80's i used a little ball of ground bait as a bite indicator with an old shool michell 208 reel and a rod that was really heavy and a good ball of ground bait on your hook good old days

When my dad passed away I inherited all his old fishing gear, shimano match rods, cane rods, centre pins and some mitchell reels, even an old bite alarm with a wire hair that moves when the line is pulled. I look at my gear some 30 years later and wonder if i even need half of it 😂 Great video mate 👍🏻

when i first started fishing in the late 70's/early 80's my dad had a Mitchell 300 reel and a split cane rod - great memories.

Nice one, loved it👍🏻

Old skool is cooler than new spool! You've got yourself a new sub!

Excellent stuff, as you said modern carp fishing is now so serious and over complicated it takes away from the joy of just being outside fishing, Love a vit of fishing with the old school gear, still does the job just fine

I have a flask exactly like yours , it now holds floats 😂😂

I'll have to fish out my Mitchell 300 auto bail and optonic XL, with the glow in the dark snag ears and monkey climber. Proper memories

Great Video, guys

Great video of old tactics

Great video took me back to my youth God I wish we had known about wrapping sticks back then Please tell me the make of your Polaroid wrap round glasses I have been looking for a large pair Love the vid be lucky

Since I’ve returned to carping after 40 plus years I do miss my old soft fibre glass rods that would bend double Great fun but in flexing they absorbed power well The old Mitchell’s sound a little better than your modern reels 😂

Optonics really takes me back, nice little water, looks like shackles lake , great video buddy 👍

Wicked memories thank you had me remising of my Sealy Carp masters and Mitchell 300 only thing missing was the heron buzzers lol

Wanted a mitchel match reel as a kid, it was in the window of local tackle shop, just couldn't stretch the budget at 12 years old lol. About £30 i think early 80s.

I’ve seen a pic of a lovely orange koi that someone I know caught outta there recently. 👌

A Wooden Centrepin & a Dough Bobbin is old school.

I emigrated to Canada in 1991 with all my gear. Included four original Optonics and Mitchell 300s. Rods were all carbon fibre. A couple were fibre glass. I still use them apart for one rod which snapped. Was a member of CAA and the Carp Society which allowed me to fish Redmire a couple of times. Waters with 20lb+ fish in were rare and difficult to access unless you knew someone. Somewhat elitist. Looking at RU-vid videos now anyone can break Dick Walker's record. His book and Kevin Nash's were essential reading. Interesting video. Thanks

Vintage tackle 😂😂😂. I pulled up at Loch Ruttan pike fishing in the middle 9f winter. Brolly and a shite sleeping bag. My bite Alarm was the hub cap of the van i was in, placed under the reel with a 2p balanced on the spool...... Mesh bags 😮😂😂😂😂😂😂

nice vid ,but come on BACK IN THE DAY 😂 how old are you ,🤣ps. all good fishermen go fishing with dad .

Can you get a barrow across to the lake

Electronic bite indication isn't very Vintage though is it really.

P

Hair rigs, braid hook lengths, pva bags, pellets. Very Dick Walker. Sorry but no.
