CARPology Magazine

30 May 2025

The latest CARPology has just arrived, and it’s packed with bold opinions, rule-breaking insights, and some brutally honest kit testing! Mark Holmes headlines the issue with a fiery, no-holds-barred interview—though don’t be surprised if you spot a softer side… Adam Penning delivers a wake-up call: ‘We’re all fishing the same way… …And the carp have noticed’ And he says it’s time to rethink the rules. We’ve got one bivvy on test that might actually deserve the title of “ultimate”, and our Cooler Bag showdown reveals which model really keeps its cool. Plus: the Landing Net battle you didn’t know you needed—£250 vs £125. Is expensive always better? We also revisit iconic names from carp fishing’s golden era, sit down with the original YouTube carp legend, and get a look at Joe Morgan’s brilliantly unique PVA bag approach.
