Martin Locke Solar Fishing Carp Tackle
Martin Locke from the eighties carp punk years. Yellow Mix, red mix, yellow mix, red mix.....There was no such thing as 'Little Mix' in those days!
I was a big fan of yellow seed baits back in the day using ingredients like red factor, yes red factor is a yellow seed, not red....Sort your life out son.....Also I didn't mind a drop of Nectarblend. That is in powder form as well, not liquid in case my words deceive you's.
We used to back in the day make all our baits with our bare hands. That's bare, not bear. I did buy some bear hands once on Ebay, but the mix kept getting stuck in the fur. So absolutely useless for hand rolling baits. Though it's now 2018, and I now meet anglers that get every bait rolled for them, and some don't even realise there are eggs or egg powder substitutes in their baits. One angler not so long ago had an argument with me, "Why would they put eggs in my bait mate". Obviously I tied him to a tree, and let him think about it for a few hours.......Lol
Lockeeeeeeeeeeeeee once made the mistake of saying pop over to my warehouse. I totally got confused I thought he was going to have a rave party. He is the only geezer. I have met in the bait business though. That not only give me great advice on bait making, but when buying a load of Squid and Octopus flavouring off of him, he told me of two other liquid forms made by two other bait companies, that worked well with the Squid and Octopus flavouring. They supplemented each other very well. How many bait company owners would do that. When they had many other great liquid flavourings, and oils sitting on their own shelves.
The first thing I ever bought off of Mr Martin Locke though was his stainless steel bank sticks. I bought first set in the eighties, and still use them now, with some others I bought in the nineties off of him. Though some don't recognise them, because I sprayed them black. Actually they need a re-spraying. The reason I use them like that. I catch most of my fish in the margins. I've even sprayed them green before. Black ones for night fishing, and sometimes green ones for day fishing. YOUR GOT TO HAVE A SYSTEM.
Many tackle company's over the years, you can clearly see they have robbed some of Martins stainless steel fishing tackle ideas. Though he is far to much a gentleman to point it out in the press. Also a similar thing as happened with his bite indication ideas.
Though what I discovered about Martin, and have kept secret for many years. Is his intelligence is far higher than most human intelligence. I realised a long time ago he was clearly left here from another universe. The tell tale signs were, he rarely blinks, and he don't really have proper high brows. I have even discovered he is cloned with another who used to visit Bagley's night Club back in the day. Which it was around the back of Kings Cross Station London in the nineties. There was this punk rocker looking geezer that used to have yellow, and red hair. The spit of Martin that loved house music, garage music, and even a bit of hard core trance. I once said to him on one of the dance floors, "Your Martin Locke arn't ya geezer", his eyes got bigger, and he did these strange hand signals. Clearly he did not realise I had not yet mastered their sign language yet.
A funny story I was catching carp on nut meal ingredients, added to yellow Savay seed mix, with some calcium caseinate, with 50ml of Kryston’s Ambio feeding trigger, and 10ml of Martin Lockes Japanese Squid, and Octopus flavouring, and 1ml Rod Hutchinson’s Intense Sweetener. An angler came up to me and said Steve I've tried to make a bait like yours without the nut meals, mainly using Savay Seed mix, but unlike you I'm catching sod all.
So I said to him show us your bait, he passed it to me. I bit into it, and spat it out fast into the lake. I said how much ***k'in sweetener you putting in it. He said the same as you mate. I said you clearly are not mate. I'm using only 1ml, he said no your not your using 10ml. I don't read my own articles I have sent to magazines, because I wrote them, but poor old Rob Maylin the editor used to get mine hand written articles for Big Carp Magazine, and would have to read through them checking all my spelling mistakes, slang words, worded terms and medical conditions, and then type them up himself.
In Big Carp magazine once there was a misprint reading I was using 10ml intense sweetener, and not 1ml. I would of thought myself most would of realised it was a misprint, but some never, and was loading their baits up at South Weald, and at other lakes especially in Essex with high levels of sweetener.....Sorry!......Though I couldn't help laughing for weeks. No wonder only the ducks were only eating their freebie pulted out baits. What a result no wonder the carp were giving their baits the swerve, and picking up mine. A tactical master class, without even meaning it. Cheers Rob!
