Just bought a second hand Preston 11 mar margin pole which doesn’t have the side hole for the elastic, however this video is fantastic for people like me who have not done any pole fishing and now have a great appreciation of where to start and how to work the kit. Thank you.

A breath of fresh air such a great explanation on pole fishing well done !!!

Great video, something we don’t have down under in Aus is pole fishing like in the UK. Carp caught here are a menace to the local fish and water ways so they are caught and killed (what a loss!).
Awesome video well explained for anyone using a pole for the first time, would be good to see a close up of the figure of 8 knot and how the rig attaches to the elastic. The only bit of the video we did not see close up.

Great video fishing a 5m whip since last year thinking about getting a pole and you have convinced me thanks

[MetalAlz]

Great video! It’s been about 15 years since I last went pole fishing! Nice to see how it’s progresses with the side slot for elastic, makes much better sense than a difficult to retrieve bung! Also the feeding cup seems new too as I always used a catapult but it was always hit or miss. Will defiantly be getting back into it now. Thanks!

Wish you had explained how long line needs to be from tip to float. If fishing margins where it’s only going to be a couple of feet deep is it easier to shorten line to required length before plumbing up? I usually have it about a foot.

As a rod and line man for 40 years, just bought a margin pole, this is a brilliant tutorial

[darrenswitzer]

Thank you just started fishing at ripe old age of 55 brought some kit off someone didn't have a scooby what it was and now it all makes sense lol .think I just haven't got the elastic. Great video for beginners. 👍

I bought the 2 piece medium for use on my kayak. It has served me well so far. Cast far with 10LB line.

It might be a bit confusing for a beginner that Adam holds his pole left handed but his top kit right handed! Most people just use one side or the other. It is nice to see a beginner level video where the "coach" isn't sitting on £250 to £600 worth of seat box!

[peterdufton]

What a great video for people new to pole fishing. Adam's presentation was superb, just at the right tempo explaining everything clearly and making it look so easy. Well done.

[jaypurshouse]

Brilliant video. Just getting back into fishing after 10 year absence. This helps big time

Went gawsworth hall yesterday it's first time I have fished for over 20yrs, I bought some gear last week on Facebook marketplace included was a 12.5 MTR pole me old arms and shoulders this morning are killin me haha

[Thermopylae]

This is much appreciated! As a Canadian who purchased a Browning Pit Bill kit last year with a few float rigs and plunnet, I am anxiously awaiting a chance to try pole fishing at a local pond before and after work. The carp and goldfish are just starting to get active. Thinking of getting a some more gear if it works out or shows promise.

[alansimpson]

Never used a pole. But at 50+ the video explains well what and why. Thanks for keeping it simple and not full of waffle. Hope they let you do a full series. Ta.

[barrybell]

lovely vid and although you make it look easy it will be sure to help get people going

[TheJimbo]

Great video, given me the confidence to go out and buy a pole for the first time, can't wait to get to the bank!

[jeffcollins]

Great enjoyable video and well presented. Perfect pole for later in the day down the margins. Thanks Adam 👍

[adiem]

Brilliant video - just picked up an old maver carp pole yesterday- need to sort out a few bits ie a slight crack in one of the top sections and put side puller kits on the 3 top kits.

Can't wait to try pole fishing

[brianhyland]
