About Rob van de Kruijs

For many years carp fishing has been a constant factor in my life. Over time I’ve developed a strong preference for efficient, focused fishing often short overnight sessions or two nights back-to-back. A large part of my experience was built on canal fishing, which shaped my mindset: staying sharp, adapting quickly and maximizing limited time.

In recent years I’ve shifted more towards smaller, enclosed waters, while occasionally making trips to larger venues. This combination keeps my angling dynamic and challenging.

Using Mainline Baits gives me the confidence I need during short sessions. When time is limited, I rely on consistent attraction, quality and proven performance. It allows me to stay focused on location, watercraft and execution, the factors that truly make the difference.

Carp fishing for me is about control, confidence and continuous improvement. Whether it’s a pressured canal or a quiet syndicate water, I approach every session with the same disciplined mindset.
