| Help with pole fishing Hi guys Could anybody please explain the art of pole fishing, For the last few years ive been a beach and boat fisherman and have now decided to come ashore and fish lakes and rivers. Last week i bought a 9.3 metre pole with 16 elastic, now ive been out today and caught a Perch to 3lb and carp of various weights and was just wondering what breaking strain elastic i really need as the lad in the tackle shop wasnt too sure. Thanks ss     |

| Re: Help with pole fishing I can recommend the following book. I know both the authors very well and despite that also gave it a decent review: http://www.crowoodpress.co.uk/2007/b...+1+86126+988+1 http://www.fishingmagic.com/news/article/mps/uan/5426 "Perch to 3lb" - that's a cracking start! __________________ "I'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order" Eric Morcambe |

| Re: Help with pole fishing Welcome Stan At 9.3 m I would be pretty certain it's a carp pole & would need strong elastic (like the 16). Match poles which would use lighter elastics are longer 12.5 - 16.5 m in length and would have finer tips for smaller elastics. Good luck on the puddles & rivers - re-tackling for frashwater will be fun if you are a tackle tart, I hope you are rich as well  __________________ Spahill <:--- --- --- --- It was this big --- --- --- ---:> |
