CHRIS FELTON

Chris Felton is a highly motivated dedicated big fish specialist who is very much a thinking angler. Constantly questioning ‘why’ to everything – from blanking/catching, all aspects of rigs, baits , weather, moon phases and many other aspects of the sport.

In Chris’ own words “Other than my family, carp fishing is the single most important thing in my life. Everything in my life is dictated by my passion for the sport. From turning down well paid full time jobs because they clash 2 much with campaigns on the car park and other similar waters to refusing to go on any holidays during those vital months, just in case I’m not about when that rare bite comes. Which has cost me a very fine girlfriend in the past but who gives a f*ck about that, like I say, priorities……sad I know.”

“I’ve always have had a inventive/creative mind, if an improvement can be made on a product no matter what it is, i will try. I have 8 granted patents and over 20 patents pending most of them nothing to do with fishing though. As you miight be aware, I have designed/tested several different fishing leads which pay me a half healthy royalty each month, which really helps when trying 2 spend as many hours on the bank as humanly possible.”

“I can be quite contriversal, lifes 2 short not 2 be.”

Hmmm, wise words there Mr. Felton.
