Palu_Au Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thank you all. I knew there had to be other reasons besides the BB videos. Great inputs. Mahalo, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerworm Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 So what specifically does Butch say about the juvenile size carp? I have said it too, I have never seen a carp that size, swimming or caught. Does he say that most that size are picked off by bass and the 10+ pounders you see are the few that made it ? Guess I will fish my flash carp more this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanhick Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Does anyone know if deps sell the flash scale tape so I can replace the stuff on mine? Its always peeling back near the joint and with repeated regluing its in rough shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always peeling back near the joint and with repeated regluing its in rough shape. Think outside the box. Check some online saltwater tackle stores, most sell a tape that is reflective with a scale pattern on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already did that but the scale pattern isn't the same and wont match the rear section unless I removed the rear section and replaced that too which aint happening as its glued on .

kmooresd85 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 dont know if this helps, but I recently was in Japan to visit in laws and some of my own family and didnt see one 250. I asked at each store and none had any shipment coming any time soon so I emailed deps in Kyoto directly. They told me that because they are changing over to a new material, they are still testing and production is currently stopped with no time frame as to when the 250's will be shipping again. not specific to the flash carp, but is probably one reason for the prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbinNowell Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Butch massages and then oils the skin on all of the flash carps and doesn't with the other colors, he also talks to individual bait giving them magical powers and guaranteeing a 10lbr.quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a record down there but not a shadow of a doubt that it's the biggest fish I've ever had the opportunity at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the edge at the joint is glued on the back section, so it's not all that hard to get the skin off. Just tack it back down with some epoxy or super glue when you're done. I do recommend a blade or a flat head screwdriver instead of a girls facial care tool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
