Congratulations to Andy Bennett who has been crowned
‘Daiwa Pole Fishing Masters Champion’ for 2015. The
three day event hosted at Tunnel Barn Farm Fishery
saw Andy hit a match winning 176-3-0 net of F1s and
a three day total of 457-4-0. And helping him put some
‘air’ between him and the competition... his trusty Daiwa
Air 160 pole. “On my final day I fished chopped worms
across to the far bank into shallow water at full length
using my Daiwa Air Pole, bagging 76 big F1s” said Andy.

ill Raison
and Des
Shipp –
arguably
two of
the very best pole anglers
in the world – have very
different styles of pole
shing. Likewise, Cam
Hughes and James Dent –
two of the brightest talents
to have come through from
the youth team in recent
years – are often like chalk
and cheese in how they
approach a venue. All of
the above have their own
distinct style of angling that
works for them, and they are
con dent in it, which is why
they are so successful.
My two colleagues, Joe
Carass and Matt Godfrey,
use two terms rst coined
by Stu Conroy to assess an
angler into two different
camps. There are ‘liggers’
and there are ‘faffers.’ In
short, if things aren’t going
their way in a session, a
ligger will feed some bait,
put a rig over the top of it
and ‘lig’ some line on the
bottom then wait patiently
for a bite. A ‘faffer’ might be
more inclined to feed three
new lines, try six new rigs of
various sizes, before dousing
his bait in the latest new
additive to hit the market
in an attempt to make
something happen.
I am reliably informed
that the very best anglers
W
have a percentage of ligger
and faffer in their make
up. To be fair, once you
are familiar with these two
terms, most anglers do t
into one category or the
other fairly well.
Whatever level you are
at, whether you have just
picked a pole up for the
rst time or have been pole
shing for the last 30 years,
you will have your own style.
It’s important to know what
this style is and how you like
to feed and sh, because
you will be able to use this
self-knowledge to cherry
pick information from
anglers who sh like you.
To use myself as an
example, I love talking to
Lee Kerry, Joe Carass, Rob
Perkins and Nick Speed
about shing because, above
most other anglers, the way
they sh makes sense to me
and I feel like I can learn
from it.
I remember some years
ago, being told by Jamie
Hughes how I should line
my oat up with a blade
of grass on the far bank
and use the weight of my
pellet to shot my oat at
Heronbrook. I tried to do
this and it ended in disaster
because I simply couldn’t
be as accurate, precise and
detailed as he is. Later in
the match, I gave up trying
to sh like him, put some
line on the bottom, started
feeding with a catapult and
emptied it!
Would Jamie have caught
from my peg shing how
he does? De nitely! He is
awesome at what he does,
and a lot of anglers sh in
his style. But as with any
coach or angler anywhere,
his way isn’t the only way
and it is a mistake to try and
imitate what anybody does if
it goes against your style.
I suppose it’s a bit like the
legendary guitarist, Jimmy
Hendrix. He has produced
some of the greatest guitar
solos in history by playing a
right-handed guitar upside
down. And why not?
Whatever style of angling
you are doing this month
enjoy it and do it your way!
