Anyone got either the cygnet or aqua atom telescopic baiting pole? Only 12m but I want it solely for a certain peg on my lake and these are fairly cheap both under £100. Not interested in making my own for £30 less thanks

Used the cygnet one before and was impressed so bought one myself the other day for less than £60 off total fishing tackle, they're on offer at the moment but don't come with the hard protective case

One worth looking at is the Corus baiting pole.
129.99 gets you 18m, the spoon, float and a neoprene case.

The cygnet one i think comes as just the pole. Incase you've not seen, Total Fishing Tackle are doing them for 59.99 which isn't bad at all.

Got an colnemere developments 12 meter and an aqua atom 12meter for different set ups and i much prefer the telescopic nature of the aqua one, no faffing about putting sections together or away, just extend and collapse back into itself, much easier to use in confined areas too and its very very compact

By the time you purchase the case, float and spoon for the cygnet pole your nearly back upto full price

Chorus one looks good for the price

Can you get additional sections to extend it even further?

Exactly what i thought.
I got my Corus one 2nd hand for a bargain of 50 quid, but new the price is reasonable i think.

Yes, you can get extensions for it.

Fair enough.
Ive uses a telescopic one and actually preferred the individual sections personally but we're all different.
The Corus foes pack away back into itself mind which is good. Some don't which take up too much space.

Yeah I saw it on tft, tbf though I probably won't get the case and already have a spoon from my little particle spoon...and have multiple net floats so in that regards I'm alright. There's someone near me (well 45 mins away) selling a chorus for £40 but tbh I was kind of set on a telescopic, just wondered if people had seen them in the flesh or used them and found them to be satisfactory

Fair enough if you already have the spoon and float.

It will be personal preference as per mine and the other posters comments.
Buy both, then sell on the one you dont want
You'll easily make your money back (or make money) on the corus one for 40 quid.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
