Two autumn bombshells over 55 pounds
Kärnten/Austria. Radical team angler Matthias Pirker recently enjoyed a haul of several specimen fish on a 1,000-hectare lake using pre-series samples of Tiger’s Nuts boilies from Radical. The first impressive carp fell to a stiff-rig with a 24 mm Tiger’s Nuts boilie; a proud scaled specimen measuring 105 cm and weighing 25.5 kg (56 lb). Two hours later, Pirker had a double run that sparked chaos but eventually resulted in both fishing being landed safely. The second fish of the session took a 16 mm Tiger’s Nuts boilie, topped with an artificial tiger nut. This carp also broke the 25 kg (55...

Back for the future - Browning re-introduces a legend
Browning's Black Magic series of put-in poles were famous for their incredible strength and durability, but the Korean sourced version of those poles were dropped in 2006 when manufacturing costs became just too high. Apart from its strength, the action provided by its put-in joints made the old BM's the first choice for "to hand" and long-line fishing. Many are still in regular use, and owners often tell us that they would love to travel back in time to buy a new Black Magic II or III to replace their tired old "warhorse". However, Browning doesn't need a time machine to...

Wild salmon from the kayak
There are days you just have the feeling that something unexpected might happen. This was one of theses days: On a several days kayak trip on a fjord at the west coast of Norway I was trolling for fun small lures for pollack behind the kayak. While paddling within close distance to the rocky coast and enjoying the view on waterfalls and steep cliffs, suddenly my reel brake started screaming. The hectic grip of my rod and hard fight, which started immediately will for always be burned into my memories. The salmon showed himself in several jumps within the first minutes, so I knew from the...

Robin Illner between Canarian beauties

The local anglers also fish these waters, although their focus is more on sea fishing. Over a period of a week, Robin Illner, his friend Jörg Krause and cameraman Peter Corzilius filmed a road-trip movie about the southernmost carp in...
