UNCUT Podcast #036: The PERFECT bait to catch more Matt Godfrey

This week's Thinking Tackle Uncut takes a slightly different turn as Guru's Matt Godfrey joins Tom, Spooner and Adam in the studio. One of the most respected anglers in the match fishing world, Matt brings a completely different perspective - and the conversation quickly turns to something that both disciplines obsess over: bait. From casters and maggots to meat, boilies and feeding strategies, the lads explore The PERFECT bait to catch more so they can transform results. In match fishing, when fish want a specific bait and you feed only that, the results can be world championship-winning - and the same thinking often applies in carp fishing too. Alongside the bait chat there's also plenty of Uncut discussion around big carp captures, record fish, and the ongoing debate around stocking artificially grown giants into lakes. 🎧 In this episode: Guru's Matt Godfrey and the crossover between match fishing and carp fishing Why choosing the right bait at the right time can completely change your catch rate Casters, maggots, meat and how match anglers dial into feeding fish Spooner's 50s, including a 56lb mirror, and Lower Maynard's Big Common at 50lb+ The first "60" mug after George Bennos lands a 68lb carp RH Fisheries stocking 70lb+ carp and the debate around manufactured giants. Do newly stocked big carp feed easier before they wise up? The controversial overshotted rig in match fishing and why it was banned. It's a proper crossover episode - match fishing precision meets big carp thinking, with plenty of honest opinions along the way. 📬 Want to join the Spooner's 50 Club in 2026?
