Steve Briggs

Guest star for shows 1 – 4, Briggsy is without question the biggest name in the sport of carp angling. A household name all round the globe he has twice been voted International Carp Angler of the Year and is a double World Champion currently holding the title which he won in 2005 with Tim Paisley at the venue where shows 1 and 2 were filmed. In demand by everyone, Steve is one of the sports nice guys, and as well as being the captor of some enormous carp, he is a director in Venture, a new and exciting tackle innovation company.

Jon “Shoes” Jones

Known as “The Trickster” in the magazines, Jon is known throughout the UK for his creative and innovative mind. Always “fiddling” with things, Jon has come up with some ground breaking inventions and products and as a result is the chief designer for the Venture tackle company. Due to his creative flair he is usually behind the camera’s filming for the series and is an accomplished camera man and event manager, but we managed to persuade him to come into the limelight for show 5 to talk about some of his tricks to put carp on the bank.
