Never having held s pole over three figures I do wonder how good the ones that cost three grand are. I imagine they are better, but that much better?Mate's just phoned me from partridge lakes he's in an match, not my cup of tea, he spent grands on a pole, madness, anyway seems theres a match between the army and navy, who would of thought the armed forces would have fishing team's:)
i've had a go, and even though its not for me,it is super light weight, i imagine the dearer ones are even lighter , i always say "that's not fishing" he thinks i'm a cave man with my feeder :)Never having held s pole over three figures I do wonder how good the ones that cost three grand are.

Haha, feeder fishing is not easy - I'm thinking of painting all my expensive Preston feeders red so the trees where I fish look nice for Xmas!i've had a go, and even though its not for me,it is super light weight, i imagine the dearer ones are even lighter , i always say "that's not fishing" he thinks i'm a cave man with my feeder :)

Don't you use the line clip?Haha, feeder fishing is not easy - I'm thinking of painting all my expensive Preston feeders red so the trees where I fish look nice for Xmas!
The tragedy of my casting is that yes I do clip up but that only sets the distance not left and right of the target!Don't you use the line clip?
50/50 with brown crumb might we worth a try - experiment with a small amount. If you fish commercials or for carp it'll make a decent margin mix but I think you'll struggle to turn it into something you'd want to ball in for roach/breamIf anyone has any bright ideas what I can add to method mix groundbait to make it less glutinous, let me know please. Accidentally bought 10kgs of sweet groundbait not realising it was method mix. Makes it useless for feeder fishing so I need something that won't bind to mix with it.
Not a huge difference at shorter lengths but at 14.5M+ there is a huge difference. If you're going to fish matches on commercials, where you'll be fishing the far bank for hours on end, you really are going to need a reasonably expensive pole. Fortunately for me, a good friend of mine is sponsored by Garbolino and so was always given their top of the range pole. When they brought out a new model, he'd sell me his old one (usually only a year or two old) at a good price.Never having held s pole over three figures I do wonder how good the ones that cost three grand are.

Fly fishing is the answer mate.Not a huge difference at shorter lengths but at 14.5M+ there is a huge difference.

Got a bit bored with that type of fishing after not too long though. When I get back to the UK, it's either matches on natural venues, or I might decide on a fresh start and take up fly fishing. Getting a bit old for lugging all my match gear miles along riverbanks and over fences/gates etc. Being able to park behind my peg was the best thing about fishing commercials.
Seriously considering it. The drawback is I know next to nothing about it. The area where I live is supposedly quite good for it though.Fly fishing is the answer mate.
Very Zen. Very Mindful.
Do you mean in Czech or England?Seriously considering it. The drawback is I know next to nothing about it. The area where I live is supposedly quite good for it though.
England (though it's supposedly good here too). We'll be back in the UK mid-June.Do you mean in Czech or England?
LuvleySounds like your experience would make a fine Macc Lads song mate; )
So Yorkshire? You have a fantastic choice of rivers. I cut my teeth on the Swale.England (though it's supposedly good here too). We'll be back in the UK mid-June.
