The Catla is very similer to Simaese Carp in look but is a diffrent fish altogether. The maximem recorded weight of the Catla is 38.6 Kg. only and the IGFA world record is 15.17 kg (33 lb 7 oz) from Theerasart , Thailand in name of Mr. Jean-Francois Helias, so the above fish and many more caught by me are technically, world record fishes. I have followed your exploites in Thailand, and your Simaese Carp is no meen fish. I target these fishes, and many others, using a home made method feeder, combined with a pop up, critically balanced hair rig. It took me more than two years to crack the code to target these fishes.
I appriciate your concern, slimysime but unfortunatly, Here in India, advance Carp asseseries are not available. Any idea, how to make one at home. I tried using Rubber Sheet but it becomes to sllipery to controle the fish. Any advice will be appriciated.
Regards from India.
