Preston total control pole arm

[chefster]

has anyone got one of these new gismo,s ,they look like a well made and in certain circumstances good bit of kit, they,ve taken a bit of a verbal beating on another forum just wondered what the FM,S thought about it?

I think in 20 years of pole fishing I've tried all sorts of roosts, spray bars etc.
My conclusion is, every time you put the pole in a roost you get that unmissable bite and you have either a catty, or a cup of tea in your hand..
Try to learn how to keep control of your pole with your elbow, knees and one hand and use your spare hand to eat, drink etc. Then once you get that right learn to feed with a catapult (using both hands)whilst holding your pole with your elbow and thighs.

Practice is the keyword with pole fishing.....

Hi Peter ,dont get me wrong i personally can use a pole proficiantly,but it might be a usefull device if i was fishing at 17.5 or 19 m or maybe someone with back problems,what do you think?
