Nick Helleur is by his own admission, the Peter Pan of carp fishing, indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle of worldwide angling adventures and carp fishing discoveries. He pioneered some of the sport's most used methods, such as PVA stick fishing, and was a consultant for some of the industry's biggest companies, including Shimano, Aqua and Korda. While recording a film for Sticky Baits' Reflections series in 2018, he landed the largest ever publicised carp from the River Thames, weighing 50lbs 12oz.
