Did some Pole fishing on my local water today.
Using a pole with a Preston Yellow Hollo Hel 17, 9lb mainline and 6lb hooklength and size 12 hook with a short hair.
Lost approx 3 carp due snapping the hook length, yet caught 11lb and 13lb no probs.
They ran taking the elastic to its length and then snap.
Should I up-grade to a stronger hook length or go for heavier lines on Rod & Reel.
So at point do you go from Pole to Rod & Reel
thanks
