Summary
This week on the Thinking Tackle Podcast UNCUT, Tom Dove, Damian Clarke, and Adam Reed are back in the hot seat—well, most of them... Spooner's gone full-time carper and left us holding the mics!
We kick things off talking about Spooner's NEW Meta Glasses that have turned him into an "influencer", the launch of the Spooner's 50 Club (yes, you can win a laser-etched YETI cup if you beat him to a UK 50), and dive headfirst into the hot topic of fishing during spawning—you know the one… cue the passionate rants and a bit of fence-sitting.
Tom Dove brings the storytelling with a breakdown of his recent trips to Wrasbury: missed swims, double takes, and a red-letter day with TEN carp in 24 hours, including a stunning 35lb 8oz common.
We also get real about the carp photo culture—are we doing it for the 'Gram, or is it enough to just enjoy the moment on the mat? Plenty of stories, banter, and a few choice words for rusty DSLRs found in the garage…
