Which pole should I buy ?

Question

After a while out of course fishing I need to buy a good all round pole about 13m - budget £300-£400 - what make/supplier would you suggest. Would like to buy on the net. Thanks

Answer 1

The answer is the dearest one you can afford, especially if you intend to fish for long periods with it fully extended. Poles get lighter the more you pay for them see.

The one I've got was around £80 and is adequate (i.e. I've caught fish with it) but a bit heavy.

You'll also need elastic, bushes, connectors, a bung, a threader and a set of pole rollers, so take that into account if your pole doesn't come with them.

A can of pole lubricant is handy but not essential. Elasticating a pole is tricky if you haven't done it before.
