Im just getting into Pole fishing, this series of videos has been really helpful, thanks Preston and Des!

Hi Des. You made a comment about the rig sitting lower in the water when you get to the venues, more than they do in the shotting tube. I believe this is because the surface tension of the water is greater in the tube, being such a small area, than it is at the venue. You can combat this by adding a little bit a washing up liquid to the tube water, which will reduce the surface tension, and allow the float to sit as it would at the venue.


Thanks for the great vids.

Hi I’ve got some 4x16 and 4x18 Des Ship diamond floats and I was wondering what size Stotz to use

[sambulldogg]

Anychance you can make a video using shots?

[geofflukins]

I print out a label for each of my rigs and put the float type, weight and colour followed by how many shot it takes. Then if I trash that rig I just copy the shotting without having to go through all that trial and error with a shotting tube. Each float stays with its specific winder.

I just bought my first pole. What distance should I be aiming for between the float and pole tip? And I don't get why like is measured by its thickness rather than its strength. I'm a carp angler so I'm used to buying mainline and hooklenght based on its strength

I am currently using a rod but in the future I would like to use a pole.
In the near future I want to start match fishing and I have read that pole brings fish in faster and it catches more because its easier to set the hook x
Any tips for when I begin

[chrisbelshaw]

I have watched this video, am I missing something, please can someone help me, he uses 9 feet of line and is fishing at 4 feet, which means there is going to be 5 feet of line from the dacron connector to the float, yet you need to be about let's say 6-12" from pole tip to the water, leaving loads of loose line???

[gomboscristi]

Hi mister, for river is ok this rig?, or mast do difrent all?tks!

[aidennymes]

keep in mind that the hookbait is also adding weight

[offenderx]

He says he puts his bulk 1” after his second dropper it’s loads more than 1” when he shows it to the camera
