Now then, Derek, everybody knows that carp can read brand names, and
won't take your bait unless you have the latest rod-pod, bite alarms,
branded boilies, bivvy slippers, etc, and obscure bits of plastic and
metal making up a rig like a printed circuit board diagram :0)

Of course they can. They're snobs too, which means they're suckers for
exclusivity. You just need a brand name they haven't seen before, something
so rare that no carp angler in the last twenty years has taken it to the
waterside...

Say, er, Mother's Pride?

Sounds good. Was Yates's 51 pounder caught on Green Giant sweetcorn, I
wonder, and was he using Harbutt's plasticine for weight?
