My whole family fishes and I learned how to fish from my mom. I stopped fishing for some reason 10 years ago when I was like 13, but recently I picked up my fishing pole and I can't believe why I stopped fishing. Now my mom and I go fishing every weekend and it's a lot of fun! I recommend to learn a family member or your child to fish, they'll thank you for it later in life 😛
The pole is able to do things you simple cannot do with a rod and line. For fishing up in the water for ide, rudd roach and carp it is unbeatable. The pole is simply far more precise and offers a degree of control you cannot get with a rod and line.You can push your baits into spots inaccesable to a rod. You can land big fish very easilly and I've had loads of big carp to jsut short of 30lb. Its all abaout balanced tackle. You do need a decent seatbox to get the right posture or it can be uncomfortable and heavy work on your back. You do need a fair bit of room to ship back and you need a coupl eof good rollers. Get flatbed rollers like the Mavers not the v rollers. Flatbed rollers are far more stable. The main issue is the cost. A top end pole wil have a 2-3 grand price tag. Plenty available second hand. Just buy a decent well knwon name so you can get spares easilly. To start off you don't need anything fancy but you need to spend a bit to fish 13 or longer. Shorter margin poles are very storng and designs for big fish that tend to feed in the margins on peoples discarded bait and get big. These poles are stong but not as light as a regular pole but are a good way to start.
slightly bias review i thinks.more cons ; you cant fish to an island that is 30-40 metres away,fishing a pole on canals is a pain,i am a cyclist as well and nothing more annoying then going for a nice gentle ride and bloody pole sections all over the place so thats two more
Another difference is the type off fish you are after I cant catch pike , bass , salmon or trout with a pole man and the pole is the lazy way for old men xp
the best equipment for a beginner is a 12 ft. or so whip….it's cheap, casts easily and handles even good sized fish, due to it's flexibility. you can even make your own floats out of drinking straws, using needle nose pliers and a cigarette lighter….you can't go cheaper than that!(you can use a rubber band around it to run your line through) all you need next is 6 lb. test line(a good all around choice), an appropriate fishing hook(depends on size of fish) and enough split shot to make the float stand properly. a landing net would be good if you run into larger fish…and a hook disgorger(the needle nose pliers will also work in an emergency)….maggots or white bread will serve for bait…and night crawlers can be used for different kinds of fish..DONE!!!
two other disadvantages he did not mention….the amount of equipment that has to be "deployed", also the need of enough space behind you when fishing with this method. love the video though, very informative and nice presentation….
My granddad gifted me his pole that he purchased many years ago for just under £1000. Used it once and caught loads more fish than usual! even a 2lb perch!
Great – I've always though pole fishing was a bit, well, wrong, but I chatted to a poler the other day when I was fishing and he caught 10x the fish I did on the next swim. This video had finally convinced me. I need one!
Thanks for taking the time to create these video sets. I have spent so many years targeting large carp that I've forgotten how to go light and subtle! Like so many, I have dismissed the pole for years as a 'cheat' way of fishing requiring little skill. However, I have started to see the benefits of late and your videos have helped me to conclude that there is a place in my tackle for a pole! My first one is now a margin pole which was purchased after long consideration. Keep up the good work!

I just got a 11m pole for 20 quid so it is not that expensive

should be called pros and cons of pole fishing and not a beginners guide, just started pole fishing myself and this vid is useless

Thanks I'm defiantly getting a pole now a really handy and useful video. Jake .
My granddad gifted me his pole that he purchased many years ago for just under £1000. Used it once and caught loads more fish than usual! even a 2lb perch!
I got a decent carbon fibre pole for £46 it's 7m and comes with 4 top kits not bad
booo, rod n reel all the way. All the dissadvantages of rod fishing can be overcome with practice.
Great – I've always though pole fishing was a bit, well, wrong, but I chatted to a poler the other day when I was fishing and he caught 10x the fish I did on the next swim. This video had finally convinced me. I need one!
Where do you get that pole????
