Scopex Cream
Mick Davison had a result back in May when he captured this large common. Here's what Mick had to say:
Hi
I thought you may like a photo of Bluebell Lakes, Swan Lake "Scar" common at 41:04 lb from back in May. I caught it on a 13mm Scopex Cream White pop up and had a load of twenties too. Great pop ups. Everyone is amazed at how buoyant they are.

Mick


Brilliant result Mick!! A forty one plus common is something very special!!

French Holiday Success
David Jones sent in this picture of a cracking common from a recent fishing holiday in France. Here's what David had to say:
Hi Kev,

Just returned from a very hot week in France. Landed 12 and lost 5, all fish were caught using your little specials over my regular food bait the largest was a lovely 45.8 common that I have attached for your website. This was caught on a 15mm Scopex Combo. I also had a couple on the washed out Pink pepper and my favourite spice specials.

Many thanks

Dave J


Thanks for the picture (you look a bit warm) and feedback David. It's much appreciated!!
Wellington Parks Number One
Liam McGoldrick very kindly sent me in this picture of Wellington Country Parks biggest resident in the shape of a fish called "Turtle".
Out of respect for Liam's wishes, I will not divulge the proper job pop up details used in the capture of this fine 52lbs mirror, but suffice to say that he's well pleased with the pop ups and catching Wellingtons residents on a regular basis.

Many congratulations Liam, brilliant result, huge carp, job done!!
Cream Specials
Richard has discovered just how special the Cream Specials are and here's what he had to say:
Hi Kevin
I had this 23LB 15OZ Mirror from a low stocked private midlands water.... I've had 5 fish from there all on your Cream Special Pops.....This being the biggest. Your Pops are serving me well. Big thank you for making the best Pops money can buy....

Richard Hodgkiss


Thanks for your kind words. Fingers crossed the pops will continue to serve you well

French Mirror Carp
Here are a couple of pictures of a large mirror carp Graham Smith very kindly sent in. Graham used a whittled down proper job pineapple tip to balance a single grain of maize and tempt the 53lbs 12oz heavily scaled mirror into making a mistake. This is the first time the carp has made a visit to the bank in over a year of evading capture.

Congratulations Graham. It just goes to show that a little bit more attention to the finer details can pay dividends!!!

Cream Specials

Geoffrey Ionascu very kindly sent in these couple of picture of a recent capture of a pristine common which took a liking to a Cream Special pop up presented on a stiff hinge rig. The carp also represents a very special moment in Geoffrey angling diary as it is a new personal best common for him.

Congratulation on a very special/memorable result and many thanks for the feedback/pictures. It's much appreciated!!

Bespoke Services

I nearly forgot about this one (shame on me). David Moncaster sent this picture through last November (2012) of a pristine 33lbs 10oz common which he caught on his first outing using a bespoke pop up which had been run especially for him.
 
Congrats on a top result. Nothing boosts the confidence when using new bait more so than a fish in the net!!!

Good Observation

Long time proper job user Steven Wadsworth put the Scopex Combo to good use during a session on a difficult venue. Here’s what Steven had to say:


Hi Kevin

Just to let you know I was fishing a difficult syndicate water at the weekend (mid May) and after a quiet night fishing bottom baits I saw a fish roll about 50 yards out. I cast a single 13mm Scopex Combo towards it and within 5 minutes had a 29:04 Common (picture attached). As usual the Scopex Combo works its magic!

Best regards

Steve

Good observation, a good cast on the money and a nice common to show for your efforts = Good Angling!

Cracking Leather

Local carp hauling machine Taron Warner has used the proper jobs for some time now, but these are the first pictures he has kindly sent in.
Taz used one of the bespoke proper jobs to top his food bait offering and this prime conditioned Leather carp could not resist it.

Cheers for the pictures Taz. That’s a fine looking kipper!!

Proper Lump

Paul Wyatt had a memorable start to the spring at Wellington Country Park. Here’s what Paul had to say:

Hi Kevin

I thought I would send you a couple of photos that your recent shipment bagged ;)
Nice start to the spring Foldy Tail @ 42lbs 4oz.
After a hard winter of pushing the barrow threw the snow, waiting for the ice to thaw and only being down for 1 overnighter in 7 weeks!
Bait was out about 17hours before tearing off and the carp gave a really good fight, which was nice for a lump.

Regards

Paul Wyatt 

Top result Paul and a just reward for your struggles during the colder months.

Zigs do the Business

New customer Matt Cox had a right result zigging with the proper jobs.
Here’s what Matt had to say:

Hi Kevin

I recently purchased some of ur pop ups (black beauties pineapple and n/butyric). Over a 48 hour session I was using them on zigs and caught 21 fish including a 32lb 2oz mirror. I was really impressed with the bait and I would recommend it to anyone.

Many thanks

Matt Cox
Buckingham 

Congrats on what sounds like a very hectic 48 hour.

Scopex Peach & N/B (again)

Lee Westerman sent in this picture of a 27lbs 4oz mirror which fell to the ever consistent Scopex Peach & N/B.

Congrats on a fine result Lee.

French Whackers

Jamie very kindly sent me in a couple of pictures of two large carp he captured during a trip to France in March. Both fish took a liking to the Scopex Peach & N/B pop ups.

Congrats on a fine result Jamie. That 62 is a serious lump!!

Chunky Mirror

David, like many proper job users was sent my way via a recommendation from a friend. The carp shown fell to a white spice pop up which had been used to balance David’s bottom bait.

Cracking chunk David

Common Carp

Here’s a couple of pictures of two fine common carp John sent me from last November. On this occasion, pineapple pop ups did the business for John.

Cheers John. Thanks for the feedback.
