Just bought a second hand Preston 11 mar margin pole which doesn’t have the side hole for the elastic, however this video is fantastic for people like me who have not done any pole fishing and now have a great appreciation of where to start and how to work the kit. Thank you.
Wish you had explained how long line needs to be from tip to float. If fishing margins where it’s only going to be a couple of feet deep is it easier to shorten line to required length before plumbing up? I usually have it about a foot.
Great video, something we don’t have down under in Aus is pole fishing like in the UK. Carp caught here are a menace to the local fish and water ways so they are caught and killed (what a loss!). Awesome video well explained for anyone using a pole for the first time, would be good to see a close up of the figure of 8 knot and how the rig attaches to the elastic. The only bit of the video we did not see close up.
Great video! It’s been about 15 years since I last went pole fishing! Nice to see how it’s progresses with the side slot for elastic, makes much better sense than a difficult to retrieve bung! Also the feeding cup seems new too as I always used a catapult but it was always hit or miss. Will defiantly be getting back into it now. Thanks!
What a great video for people new to pole fishing. Adam's presentation was superb, just at the right tempo explaining everything clearly and making it look so easy. Well done.
Thank you just started fishing at ripe old age of 55 brought some kit off someone didn't have a scooby what it was and now it all makes sense lol .think I just haven't got the elastic. Great video for beginners. 👍
It might be a bit confusing for a beginner that Adam holds his pole left handed but his top kit right handed! Most people just use one side or the other. It is nice to see a beginner level video where the "coach" isn't sitting on £250 to £600 worth of seat box!
Went gawsworth hall yesterday it's first time I have fished for over 20yrs ,I bought some gear last week on Facebook marketplace included was a 12.5 MTR pole me old arms and shoulders this morning are killin me haha
Never used a pole. But at 50+ the video explains well what and why. Thanks for keeping it simple and not full of waffle. Hope they let you do a full series. Ta.
This is much appreciated! As a Canadian who purchased a Browning Pit Bill kit last year with a few float rigs and plunnet, I am anxiously awaiting a chance to try pole fishing at a local pond before and after work. The carp and goldfish are just starting to get active. Thinking of getting a some more gear if it works out or shows promise.
Brilliant video - just picked up an old maver carp pole yesterday- need to sort out a few bits ie a slight crack in one of the top sections and put side puller kits on the 3 top kits. Can't wait to try pole fishing
Love this video. Pure fishing without professional types of equipment and unnecessary things. Could I ask please how long was the pole on the film? Did you use a pole roller?
We used the 6m Torque Pole. No pole roller, just a bag behind to keep the pole off the ground. We would advise using a pole roller if using a pole longer than this though.
There's no hard and fast rules for this! It needs to be short enough so that you don't miss bites, but long enough that your float doesn't move if the wind blows your pole tip around. 12-18inches is a good starting point.
I've baught a diawa pole 4 top kits, purely for commercial fisheries, I'm 58 now, I fished commercials back in the mid 90s, back then you'd cut you're pole back till you could fur a 20 elastic 🤣 now I had a look online for elastic and!! Well don't times change, I have no idea what elastic I need, I simply thought two medium tops two heavy tops, given this what elastic would you buy?
Hope you read this, Elastics have moved on, you can still get the solid types, but they are really when compared with the new hollow silicones. You can use much thinner silicone than old elastics, it also has a lot more stretch, hence the puller system. It's also possible to adapt your old top 3's /2's, but it's a tricky job, a decent tackle shop will do it for you. Good luck ! and tight lines.
Hi chaps looking for a bit of info if OK, Iv got a tri cast pole 10m, quite oldish, but in good used condition. Any one have any idea what it might be worth?
Can I just add a quick point, if you buy ready made rigs, and if you follow the likes of top anglers like Mr may and Mr heughs, and dot you're float down, in a nut shell for pleasure fishing its not necessary make sure you can see you're float without straining you're brain, it's called pleasure fishing for a reason 🤣 another tip, these ready made rigs are so sensitive and finely balanced, half way through you're day the float might start to sink to the very tip or submerge completely, don't worry, have some vasline and simply dip the tip of the float into it, this will keep it visible, that's how sensitive these rigs are.
Not fished a pole for 30 years, been fishing rivers. Had a near fatal heart attack last year, 6 weeks in a coma and 3 moths hospital, wife has stopped me river fishing, so commercial's is fine what length of pole should go for. Plan on doing so over 60's match's
Be aware this video assumes the top section has already been cut down to the right diameter for the given elastic, and has had stonfo fitted in the end, cutting up to a foot off your brand new pole is not for the faint hearted, a decent tackle shop will do this for you, don't be shy ask them to show you how to do it.
There are hundreds of vids on here, this is a good vid to show youngsters or people like myself 58 now 🤣 that you don't need a wheel barrow full of stuff to enjoy fishing the pole, and as was said you can buy ready made rigs, which is my preferred way 😉
You don't need tons of gear for any fishing, match anglers especially the top guys, where there is massive money nowadays, they want every eventuality covering before the all in, hence the amount of gear they accumulate and set up on the bank, for a day's pleasure fishing, what you see on this vid is easily enough, somthing to sit on and a means of putting a bait in the water 😉
@@alanoliver5378 true ...and i hate that most of videos on youtube is more then half advertising for bait or rod ...and after 10-15 min you se first time the hook in water 😆
A breath of fresh air such a great explanation on pole fishing well done !!!
Just bought a second hand Preston 11 mar margin pole which doesn’t have the side hole for the elastic, however this video is fantastic for people like me who have not done any pole fishing and now have a great appreciation of where to start and how to work the kit. Thank you.
Same. Was given an old 12.5 Maver Strong Arm with telescopic top kit. Have to use a pulla plug to bring elastic in on that.
Hi mate if u have just read my last msg Iv got a tricast pole etc, I don't pole fish so if anyone wants a bargain hmu in comments
As a rod and line man for 40 years, just bought a margin pole, this is a brilliant tutorial

Great video fishing a 5m whip since last year thinking about getting a pole and you have convinced me thanks
Really helpful, thanks. Never used a pole but this makes it very clear.
Just started fishing and am looking to try all aspects and types of fishing. Great vid thank you 👍

Lol you lot are literally getting rid of everything not native to Australia- I can understand cats but carp etc mmnnnn!

Thanks Peter! Glad you enjoyed the video. We have plenty more of these videos planned. Tight Lines, Adam.
Fantastic video straight forward teaching without the bells and whistles and the crap….thank you
Thank you just started fishing at ripe old age of 55 brought some kit off someone didn't have a scooby what it was and now it all makes sense lol .think I just haven't got the elastic. Great video for beginners. 👍
Your vids are great! Can i ask if i can use boilie 8mm and hair rig to catch big carp with pole? And what size of feeding pellets is? Thanks

Brilliant video. Just getting back into fishing after 10 year absence. This helps big time
Went gawsworth hall yesterday it's first time I have fished for over 20yrs ,I bought some gear last week on Facebook marketplace included was a 12.5 MTR pole me old arms and shoulders this morning are killin me haha
lovely vid and although you make it look easy it will be sure to help get people going
With a little practice it becomes easier. Keeping things simple is often the best way to go!

Great tutorial, thanks for posting 🎣👍
Great enjoyable video and well presented. Perfect pole for later in the day down the margins. Thanks Adam 👍
Excellent and clear and well explained
Great video, given me the confidence to go out and buy a pole for the first time, can't wait to get to the bank!
Give it a go! It's great fun.
@@ifishmatrix Yep, have bought some gear from local tackle shop - bit too cold for old bones at moment tho'. 🙂

What is the chair used in the video? I wouldn’t mind one of them with the attachments. Great video as well, very informative 👍🏻
Excellent video...thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good, like a young Bob Nudd.

Can't wait to try pole fishing
Going to get me a flexy tosspot 👌🏻
No mention on tensioning the elastic?

A good video for me as I've just started pole fishing. Only question is what length of line should be between dacron connector and float

What kind of Internal PTFE Bushes need the Torque 10.5m Pole
Biggest lesson I took from this was "flexi tosspot"
What size are ptfe bushes just got one of these

Is that side tray the xl self support tray ??
I don’t even own a pole, just a match rod, yet still makes for fascinating viewing hahahahaha
Not fished a pole for 30 years, been fishing rivers. Had a near fatal heart attack last year, 6 weeks in a coma and 3 moths hospital, wife has stopped me river fishing, so commercial's is fine what length of pole should go for. Plan on doing so over 60's match's
I'm 67 and would be interested in any matches for over 60s I've just picked up fishing again after 20y absence
What size hook?
What chair is this??
What am I watching? When I hear pole fishing, all I remember is a bamboo pole. This is new to me.
Great video I always love your content and always pop a like on it my channel is not nearly matched up in the quality section!
Name of chair and side tray pls
It is the Matrix Ethos Chair and Medium Side Tray. You can find them on our website - www.fishmatrix.co.uk/

That elastic is going to be wetter then the fish you want to catch!
please call it a pole cup.
Not a beginner video. couldnt properly see how you were tying anything.
There are hundreds of vids on here, this is a good vid to show youngsters or people like myself 58 now 🤣 that you don't need a wheel barrow full of stuff to enjoy fishing the pole, and as was said you can buy ready made rigs, which is my preferred way 😉
@@alanoliver5378 I'm amazed at how little I need now for pleasure fishing after giving up match angling, I just couldn't keep up with the cost of it
Any one selling the pole for 20 pounds
So you don't need tons of gear for pole fishing ....hmmm....
You don't need tons of gear for any fishing, match anglers especially the top guys, where there is massive money nowadays, they want every eventuality covering before the all in, hence the amount of gear they accumulate and set up on the bank, for a day's pleasure fishing, what you see on this vid is easily enough, somthing to sit on and a means of putting a bait in the water 😉
