Mike Gliedner from Luxembourg caught this quality mirror carp with a little help from a 0.5g Drennan AS2 pole float, 0.18mm line and a size 14 Super Spade hook.

He caught the fish from a ‘carpodrome’ at Charency-Vezin, France. It was part of an impressive 27-carp catch on 8mm expander pellets and corn over 4mm pellets.

The Drennan AS2 pole float was designed by Alan Scotthorne and is ideal for fishing for carp and other quality fish on the bottom in open water. The 1.75mm hollow tip will support large baits, while the almost round body and 0.6mm wire stem offers excellent stability. A special ultra-tough paint finish also prevents the main line cutting into the body when under tension – all important qualities when catching lots of hard-fighting fish!
