When it comes to Rob you can give him any bait from any of the range and he will produce, this chap has a knack of catching carp, and good lookers at that! Greg first met Rob on the banks of a syndicate water in the south of Lincolnshire, this tricky little water was soon took apart by Rob and his bow string tight lines. From that day we knew we could learn a thing or two from this guy. Rob was instrumental in the development of the ‘Prime’, having tested it thoroughly before its release. Since the day of him getting his very first batch of it back in 2018, he hasn’t looked back, and his album since that day tells certainly tells you why.
