Hello,
I'm in the market for a baiting pole approx 15m, does anyone have any recommendations?
Or..had any experience in making their own?
thanks in advance

I have made my own in the past from an old match pole I was given. I glued & pinned a 3/8" BSF threaded section from an old landing net handle into the number 4 section of the pole. I used an Angling Intelligence float (as these were the only option other than making own at the time) & spoon. I think with all the sections barring the pole was around 13m at the time (was a 16m pole when complete).
I am now using a Cygnet Baiting Pole. One of the 12m versions with a couple of extensions although if I was buying one now, I would be looking at one of the telescopic ones as it is much easier with one of these than the take apart versions, especially in tight swims. I believe the Aqua one is telescopic, but not cheap. I do know there re others out there that are telescopic. I think the Corus one is now telescopic.

I own one of the first Nash bushwacker poles I honesty can say having owned a few different ones over the years this is the best out there save your money and hold on till the shops get another batch in. I go out to 30 meters at their moment but waiting for more stock to come in to get another 10 meters .perfect

I have the 18m telescopic tackle box one and love it BUT have recently needed a little more length so have been using a friends bushwhacker and extensions taking it out to 30m and as soon as I can get a bushwhacker I will be and the telescopic will be up for sale!
Thanks for your reply chaps.
So, it seems to be a toss up between the bushwhacker or TB one.
Bushwhacker isnt telescopic but can be longer or TB one which is telescopic and more compact...Hmm decisions

ive got a bushwhacker and think it is great.
Very lightweight, the cup at the end is very balanced and holds just under a kilo of bait.
I have ordered some extra extensions and it will be 25m when they arrive, I have purchased thr HD bag to as the one it come with is ok but not sure will hold the extra extensions.
not used any others so cannot comment.

Telescopic sounds good but requires a lot of cleaning, every telescopic whip and pole ive had all suffer from if you put it down grit gets in the joints.my personal choice would be the bushwhacker, if you damage a section you can still use the pole as all the sections are the same.

I have owned the cygnet one, Tacklebox telescopic one and now the bushwhacker. By far the easiest and the lightest is the bushwhacker Also the bushwhacker comes with the best spoon. For me its a no brainer.

Thought I would resurrect this than start a new one. Seriously considering getting a pole as most of my fishing is currently in tight spots close in, so accurately baiting and placing rigs with a pole sounds ideal. Having not used one before the market is new to me. Noted the comments below and wondering if anyone has any experience with the Corua pole as based on reviews elsewhere it seems very good value for money. Tackle Box and Nash poles seem to be out of stock most places so looking at all other options as well

Angling intelligence ones come up pretty often 2nd hand, I've had one for year's not sure if you can still get spare parts though, also seen good reviews on the one you mentioned

Have a couple of them, originally made by a few lads fishing up tol pits. Only thing is they are limited at about 6/7m. Still use it but have an 18m tackle box telescopic deal, great bit of kit, very well made can recommend that aswell.

Just been offered an AI (Colnemere Developments) one and the only issue I have is that it is 12m and as you state getting spare parts and extensions etc is not easy, whereas most of the spots I fish are c.16 yards so an 18m pole is a necessity for the fishing I am doing. If the Nash was in stock I would probably get one of them but based on what is available the Corus seems the best option (better than the Cygnet and much cheaper with the TB out of stock until 'hopefully' next month as well). Guessing the Corus is not that popular though which is not filling me with much confidence in parting with £150 to get
