Poles & Whips
Finding which Pole to suit you is never easy. As a rough guide the more you spend the more lightweight pole you're going to get. As you can imagine having a pole 16 metres in front of you makes the counter balance super heavy with hard plastics so with some of the very high end poles they use the finest Japanese carbon which makes them super lightweight. This means when the guy who's chose the peg next to you is catching the same amount of fish as you but you're hardly breaking a sweat and he needs to take a break then you're bound to catch more overall weight than them, especially when the retrieve can be done so much faster with lightweight carbon fibre poles.
