A Simple Pole RigByMarkWintle 01/09/200906:00:00

Mark Wintle describes oneof the simplest pole floatrigs you could use.

The basic pole rig is to have a bulkthat is 90% or more of the shotload of the pole float plus one ortwo tiny dropper shot below thebulk weight. The bulk weight istraditionally an elongated pearshaped weight called an 'olivette'.

These were formerly made from lead but are now made from either brass or tungsten. The idea is thatthe streamlined olivette gets the bait down very quickly and sets the float with just the tiny dropper shotaffecting the float bristle and helping to detect bites.

What are olivettes?

Olivettes come in two types; some are threaded on the line and held in position with a tiny shot each endor by a bristle jammed in the silicone tube that lines the hole. Those without a central hole are held ontothe line by two tiny pieces of float silicone tube using the pegs at each end of the olivette. The alternativeto using an olivette is to make a bulk from a bunch of shot. For small floats, this could be several no. 8shot but bigger floats will need larger shot such as no. 6 or 4, or even BBs or AAAs.

What is this rig best for?

This type of bulk rig is ideal for fishing hard on the bottom, andchoosing a float that takes 0.1 grams per foot of depth is a goodstarting point especially for water that is less than eight feet deep.For depths in excess of this choose a float that takes one gram fornine feet of water and add 0.25 for each extra foot of water i.e. 11foot would warrant 1.5 grams etc. In adverse conditions, you mayneed to fish even heavier than this. This rig is ideal for stillwatersand slow moving rivers. For faster flowing rivers it can also be usedbut you will want a heavier float with a thicker bristle.

Dont be afraid to experiment

Experiment with how far you want the olivette from the hook; a goodstarting point is to have it about a quarter of the way up from the hook i.e. if fishing four feet deep thenplace the olivette about a foot from the hook. Match the size of the dropper shot to the bristle thickness;extra fine bristles mean no. 13 shot droppers, medium ones no. 10 & 11, and thick ones no. 8s.

Choosing A Float

For stillwater pole fishing a simple pole float with a pear shaped body is ideal. Choose one with a bristle

that youll be able to see at the range you will be fishing, depending on light conditions. A black bristle mayshow up better if the water appears white.

River pole fishing is better tackled with a pole float that is an inverse pear shape fat end up.

Shallow water is best tackled with relatively short stemmed floats; longer stemmed floats are more stableand ideal for deeper water.

Plumbing the depth

Plumbing the depth is easy when pole fishing; simply attach a plummet and lower gently into the water.Take care to check the depth in different parts of the swim.
