Maver reality starter

[Matty1987]

Hi all
I’ve been a float fisher for a number of years. All be it a casual fisher. I recently went to my local tackle shop for advice on a starter margin pole. And came away with the maver reality 6m pole which comes With a pre elastics red top kit and 2 rigs. Which is great for me and I’ve cought a few carp. Can anyone advise what top kits to get and explain a little about what I need, what elastics to use with them. Rig needs ?
Seems to be a mine field
Any help much appreciated

Before you get a billion and one answers try googling .... Pole fishing for beginners. Lots of youtube vids on there. Sometimes its better to see how its done rather than be told. Failing that, have a look at our very own ' Neil of the Nene ' blog. I think Neil has something for the new pole angler. Or maybe send him a PM. Good luck matey. ?

Hi @Matty1987 Welcolme to the forum.

Neil's excellent guide is here It helped me a lot when I got back into fishing 4 years ago and started using a pole for the first time.

Thank you. Seems a lot to learn to begin with.

The easiest way to learn is to go with someone for a couple of hours who knows what they are doing.

There's plenty of members on here who would show you the basics to get you going in the right direction - where abouts are you?

Stop it @tipitinmick you will make me blush. I am just passing it on as I have had lots of help and days out with fellow MD'ers who helped me.

All Matt has to do is watch me and do the exact opposite and he will be fine.

You can teach him to swim ?

I'm in Northants so not that far away. Perhaps Scribe and I could meet up with you somewhere like Holmes Farm, Lubenham or somewhere closer to Melton for a day. Notneeded might be up for a day's Mick taking as well.

Sounds like a great idea Neil - Matt you won't go wrong with Neil & Tony they know what they are doing, unlike me that has half a clue,

Eh up Mr Wonky Box - setting his seat box up so it's level will be lesson No 1 - I see you skipped that one.

His first lesson with setting up his seatbox from you will be “fitting the diving board “ ?

At least it will be a level diving board not on the pizz - anyway go away and tie up some hooklengths for the silvers lake tomorrow.
