  • I decided to challenge myself by using an 8-meter margin pole in a fishing match at White Springs Fishery! I had to leverage all the skills I've honed over the years to maximize my performance in this match. With limited reach, strategic fishing was crucial for success. Carp are the main target species however Skimmers would also play a huge part within this match.

    Watching you shining out when feeding with small pots there wasn't much bounce to throw bait out.

    Great result Mikey. Especially with using short tops plus 1 section. Although I have a 14.5 M Pole which I enjoy using, I do use my MAP 1001 10.2 meter Margin pole most of the time.Being 72 and like @oldishjack beginning to struggle with arthritis showing its ugly head. Keep doing what you are as they are all very entertaining but also great with lots of usefull tips and tricks and most importantly a load of welsh sayings which I enjoy. Well done for the qualification. Cheers

    perhaps im a bit more into comfort fishing these days and it would be a nightmare to fish at 13.5 mtrs on my other pole but im happy with my 8.5 mtr edge monster strong and light is it black hydro elastic you had on and is it used mainly for carp fishing the elastic you use is probably just as important as the line some elastics are more forgiving well done on the win and the qualify and i presume its the 6 days 6 matches again

    Congratulation on the win, shame to tops you used cost more than the margin pole, by the time ya put hydro in um. Certainly one of the better margin poles on market. Am I right in saying you have to buy and fit your own sidepuller to them?👍

      Hi mate, that margin pole comes with 2 tops that would have been enough on the day, I just like short kits on there as if you let them have to much elastic the go through the gaps in the island. Yes mate you have to put your own side puller in
