If you start using a pole it can add another dimension. Your shallow fishing will be dramatically improved (if you persevere, can be tricky to do well) and can also allow you to use ultra soft baits such as paste | | | |

Give it a go you will enjoy it :-) | | | |

| | 18 Mar 2012 09:14 PM | | | I think it can be a question of "horses for courses" depending on the venue you fish. A local club water I fish is predominately done with a pole because it will out fish any other method on this lake, but on another club water I wouldn't dream of using a pole only a feeder. Pole fishing is a brilliant way of fishing but so is a rod and reel. I fish matches and most of the time I'll bait up an area, then go on the feeder for an hour or so, then fish the pole over these baited areas so it pays to be open minded. Hope this helps. | | | |
