Fat French Carp

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It is deffo the same fish lol it looks the exact same. Lots of the carp I catch in France have jaws partially deformed, I asked the owner of a lake and he told me it was people using braid on their hooklengths cut into the carp's mouths. Not bad for a week's fishing:D

Fang X for ultra-snaggy swims. Made from the highest quality Japanese carbon, these are the sharpest hooks on the market.(for the gage they are thick)

But Dan right for 95% of my UK fishing I use Gardner Mugga Hooks there a very similar pattern I would use ether of theses hooks no problem for my UK and French fishing.

He is a known fish they call him curtains due to his mouth he was stocked like that I would not be surprised if he did it with braid as monsternoob explained as I said before I have caught him twice now and he fight like a mad thing.

Mirror carp are easily recognisable as they have there own scale patterns that are only common to that fish also as I explained the owner of the lake stocked that fish a 20lb a few years back and he is the only fish in the lake to have a face like that.
