I have an old Daiwa pole that I’ve not used since I bought it, never really got into it. Must have been 20-odd years since it last saw daylight, I have always been a rod and reel dangler be it float or feeder etc. I put the pole together and waved it round my garden the other day and it basically looks and feels like new (albeit probably heavier than today’s ones).
I fancy giving it a freshen up and a few ‘spins round the block’ as it were.
Its still got elastic in it (and it still stretches!!) but something tells me that should be the first thing I replace!
So my questions to any pole experts are, what should I go out and buy, I have nothing but the pole (and all my rod/reel terminal tackle).
What do you find indispensable when pole fishing?
Ill be using it at various commercials more than anything, small to medium sized carp being the target.
Thanks!
