Send us Fan MailThis week NashBait main man Max Hendry joins Hassan in the podcast studio for a catch up since his last appearance on the podcast back at the start of season one.Max is a “unique” character hence a host of nicknames “Instability Max” and hashtags #ThatsSoMaxHendry that have been created off the back of his antics. In this podcast Max speaks frankly about a very testing two years period at the head of NashBait with not only COVID but also Brexit and the impact in terms of bait being shipped abroad. Max talks about how despite everything NashBait is thriving and there’s an exclusive insight into some new products joining the NashBait range that have “never been done before “in the market. Never one to rest on his loreals Max has two brand new factories that are undergoing development which will all be part of producing not only new products but also helping meet the incredible seemingly never ended demand for NashBait across the UK, Europe and further afield. It’s a very honest and open look at the ins and out at the very top of the modern carp bait game.With a huge amount of time being invested at work and with the birth of his newborn son James Max might have been forgiven for hanging up the rods however he had managed to get the rods out and he discusses two successful venues where he’s managed to find success. On AJS Fisheries Girton Complex Max spent some time last winter getting amongst the incredible stock fishing at range in very deep water, there’s a great insight to his fishing in deep water situations as well as a close encounter with the lake’s largest resident “Butthead” a 60lb+ common.Onto Nashy’s Church lake and Max has been lucky to have had three sessions on the lake (weekends) captures three different forty pounders with the last fish being anew forty for the lake and thus names after his newborn son James.Max also talks about and upcoming session to the amazing Spitfire Pool with his friend Jim Wilson. He talks about The Wood and Long common as well as his thoughts on how these gems will hopefully end up in his landing net.If you want to know exactly what it’s like to work in the modern-day carp industry at the very top then this gives you great insight into the drive, determination and sheer hard work that is needed. Max has an incredible mind, is never happy with his success and is so understated in everything he does, he’s truly an inspiring bloke who is an example to anyone looking to be successful in the angling industry.
