Angler poised to strike
Coarse fisherman in blue shirt and Kahki shorts sitting down with long carp pole holding the rod stock in a position ready to strike Photographed from the rear with the man sitting down on his tackle box The rod blends into the water accentuating the large expanse of water Originally called a roach pole the pole is made of many sections and sometimes exceeds 14 metres in length No reel is used the line being attached to the end of the pole The fish is played either by using an elastic device running out of the top hollow section or by using a flexible tipo which absorbs the shock To land the fish the pole is quickly slide behind the angler and the sections nearest the angler disconnected Pole fishing gives the advantage of keeping the rod tip just above the float at long range
