  NO unfortunately blanked, but he did fish to win like everyone else and did not give up.

  All credit to Steve for sticking to his guns and going for it. You can’t catch fish if they aren’t there.
  
  If someone of his stature and ability can blank it makes it easier for us lesser mortals when the same thing happens to us from time to time, or in my case regularly.

  its nothing like what youve described it.its designed so 1 rig does all depths and its upto the angler still to find what level the fish are so u lower it down slowly to the desired depths youre catching most of the fish and u can judge if the fish r coming shallower has ull catch em whilst your still lowering to the desired depth and if the bites fade u can go deeper and all the while adjust your feeding to suit.the amount of shot u put on depends on the amount of tow and wind the water has on a given day

  My opinion is its a very direct overshotted rig, you can achieve this presentation by overshotting a float or fishing without a float and having a few shot on just line. My verdict – mickey mouse

  I really envy people who are so good they can look down their noses at successful new ways of catching fish. If someone of Steve Cooke’s ability is prepared to give it a go then it must be worth considering.

  I dont look down my nose at the method ive got some jiggas set up in my box and they catch fish but i do think its mickey mouse fishing as is,slow snking bubble,chompers,floating pole & rattler to name a few whatever happened to striking at bites ? A bloke at the side of me on a match yesterday chucked a dome topped waggler out that wouldnt have looked out of place on the shelf at ann summers!

  CORRECT Dipper …. what is fishing coming too?
  
  Trouble is those carp are just eating machines and when you cram them into the coomies as we do then all sorts of stupid things happen….. avergae anglers become superstars overnight….. I will not even participate in matches where numpty floats are used, floating poles and the like…. hey I even have a problem with bread.
  
  I think it was Dick Walker who had said many years ago “One day we will all be fishing in holes in the ground” he just understated it a bit !!!!

  There are sadly one or two Luddites on here. Each to their own but I don’t see it as being much different than fishing for carp shallow and for some reason very few get sniffy at that method. Steve used the method and caught nowt – well spotted boss bait; now I’m not sure what you purist/reactionary/superior (delete as appropriate – I think I know which you’d delete) types mean by ‘Mickey Mouse’ or ‘numpty’ but Steve Cooke’s no numpty and It clearly isn’t a method that will make you a winner every time..
  I presume your reaction to the pole when it first became popular was equally dismissive?
  And to pellets? Hair rigs? Method feeders?, etc. etc. You must really despair of us lesser mortals who just enjoy catching a few fish.
  Or perhaps we’re the ones who have evolved? :confused:

  It is a very effective method and dont get me Wrong i have evolved in angling Ive embraced the Right things. knotted keepnets and barbed hooks I couldnt wait to see the back of but to me self hooking rigs leave a lot to be desired. Not an argument fella just a point of view and end of it for me cheers

  The art of shallow fishing has being taken
  What art is there in bouncing an over shotted float up an down
  There is no art in that method END OFF
  You could teach a monkey to do it

  Is there any less skill than say poly ball and banded pellet, whilst sitting there firing out pellets waiting for carp to hook themselves against the pole?
  Alot of the methods are basically the same in my mind in so much as they dont take alot of thinking about, or skill to employ – means to an end when theres money to be won?

  Forgive me for mentioning it, but this is a match fishing site. If you want to practice fishing as an art that’s fine with me, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it but please don’t kid yourself that there is any art in fishing shallow for carp by any method in summer – get the feeding, bait and depth right and they hook themselves nine times out of ten.
  I think Paddy hit the nail on the head when he said it’s a means to an end – catching fish.
  You’ll never be a proper match ace if you don’t embrace every method 😀
  p.s the float doesn’t bounce up and down..
