I have only started fishing this year. I made the mistake of going on a Learn to Fish session meant for my children and now own a rod and reel for both feeder set up and a waggler set. I also appear to have haemorrhaged a lot of money. I am aware that is the norm.
I would therefore like to try pole fishing. I have had a go around the margins and I was looking at getting an 8m pole and then see how I get on. But as I know what I am like I will soon wish to move on. So length wise, I thought maybe go for the Daiwa Powercarp 11.5. My club waters are large lakes, canal and a bit or river so a mixed bag so whilst at that length I am looking at margins, I would like to have a go in front as well.
I am not being lazy, as I have read through the many posts on here so am scouring ebay as well for a decent SH pole. My main question before I justify to my wife the need for another fishing addition, (Prior to explaining rollers necessity)
A) Should I stick with a margin pole of 8m as my first one.
B) Is the Daiwa Powercarp 11.5 (I appreciate more likely to be 10m) worth the extra 2m
C) DOes anyone have any knowledge of the Caperlan (Decathlon) 13m pole (Its only because I saw one today and not seen it on any reviews previously)
C) Any other advice - gratefully received
Budget wise - What I need to spend not to have to replace (Obviously not allowing for my clumsy size 11s no doubt standing on them at some stage)
Many thanks
