Korda - The Thinking Tackle Podcast

The FULL Uncut team are back with Damian Clarke joining Tom Dove, Neil Spooner and Adam Reed for a chat that goes off in a slightly different direction.

With Damo back in the room, the lads catch up on a busy few weeks from Spooner completing the London Marathon to a spring that’s producing more big carp than ever.

But it quickly turns into something else… as a challenge gets thrown out that could see Tom doing something he definitely didn’t sign up for.

There’s also plenty of proper carp fishing chat in there - big fish trends, recent sessions, and the reality of how good (or bad) things have been on the bank.

🎧 In this episode:
Spooner’s London Marathon — the build-up, the reality, and what it was actually like
A spring full of 50lb carp and why they’re becoming more common
Spooner’s recent sessions - multiple 40s and consistent bites
Social fishing vs Target fishing and how results can swing quickly
The wing walk challenge - and whether Tom will actually do it
A marathon bet linked to catching a UK 50… is it a DEAL?

In this episode of Thinking Tackle Uncut, the lads get into a debate around bait boats. Anglers Tom Dove, Neil Spooner and Adam Reed talk about who’s using them, who admits to it, and whether they’re getting a bit too much credit (or not enough).
This turns into a wider conversation about angling decisions, honesty, and doing things your own way.
There’s also plenty going on away from that, including more 60lb carp, Spooner’s ongoing 50lb challenge, and a new Lac Luna trip where a proper challenge gets set.

The Korda UNCUT Podcast returns and with Damian missing, the lads are joined by Big Carp fishing pro Oscar Thornton (Mindset) - fresh off the back of a session that was meant to take weeks… but was wrapped up in just 10 days.
Fishing a low-stock lake with a handful of target carp, Oscar committed early: pick an area, bait it properly, and sit on it. While others were fishing light and moving on showing fish, he went the other way - find out exactly what he did to get the quick win. It’s a proper look at backing your own approach and letting it play out.
🎧 In this episode:
Oscar Thornton’s 10-day campaign and catching target carp quickly
Fishing a low-stock venue and committing to one area
Heavy baiting in spring vs following showing fish
Long-range fishing at 140+ yards and staying accurate
Hinged stiff rigs over seed, hemp and crumb
Undertow, debris, and keeping rigs fishing properly
Sitting it out vs moving - and trusting the process
Dovey ending a long blank and why one bite changes everything
