So many more people need to watch this! I've seen so many pole written off as c-rap because they break easily when it's from issues that could have been avoided by correct roller placement or better handling.
Great informative video doing one on using one roller and double breaking would be good a lot of fisheries have otter fences that make it impossible to use two rollers
Great demonstration of correct shipping and retrieving your Pole. Its the 2.5 sections to the rollers is the clever bit. Thanks. Fantastic Tip. Keep them coming
New pole looking lovely as well can’t wait for mine to arrive next week hopefully 🤞 will set my rollers up properly for sure as I have been doing it wrong cheers
All about the tipping point. Should still stay level as it leaves the back roller. And the same on the front. Not tip back or forward. Then ship back and it should just meet on the back one by half a section.
Would have thought the bulk of damage probably occurs while unpacking the pole, letting the sections fall out onto the ground, chipping/cracking the ends, or dropping them horizontally onto grass and landing on a rogue stone. Up to now I've only used short poles, 6 to 7 meters, hardly ever used the crappy bankstick mounted roller I have, and can't see any damage on them other than a few light scratches. Admittedly I've not been constantly pulling 5lb+ lumps out with them, mostly silvers and carp up to 3lb, and they're cheap old things (under £50, 20 years ago), not these crazy expensive jobbies.
Once you take your pole out of your pole bag etc what do you use to protect the ends so they don't get damaged while putting your pole together and the same when your packing up at the end of your session?
You can get pole bungs off eBay that just slot into the sections to prevent you from splintering the sections when putting them together. You have to make sure you get the ones for your make of pole though as they are different sizes per brand. I think they're about £35 for a full set but it's a small price to pay considering the price of a repair or new section. Hope this helps mate 👍
Just be careful with it, place sections down gently if they are on the floor, as the other comment says you can get bungs for poles, obviously it will add a bit of weight to the pole but if you wanted to really look after them sections then they are worth a look.
Make your box higher, either adding units or adjusting the height depending on the style. You need you legs to be flat or it causes all sorts of issues.

Never thought about the leg being the third roller, great advice. 😊
Very good advice

That's cleared a few things up, great advice
Loving the new channel boys top stuff, back to basics, loving the condensed style 👍
Very good advice Jamie Thank you

Very handy as always.
Top vid....
nice one Jamie brilliant advice thank you.
Just upgraded to MTX3 from a thing seemingly made out of scaffold tubes. Thanks for the advice

I find the bread lasts lot long if you give them a bit of a squeeze not to much though I have good catches with fine disc of lookalike polystyrene
what about if you use a pole bump bar
Please tell me that cover shot is Jamie breaking Rich’s pole and giving him the Air Z from last year as sponsorship 😂😂😂 #TeamRich
MTX1 pole or the superium x10 ? i cant decide
Due to space I don’t have a seat box but I have the matrix feeder chair, would these steps still apply as I’m not on a box?
Speaking as the twat who broke a no.4 section in a match last week, this video is the perfect reminder of why I will always be a mediocre angler.

Simply don't let them fall on the ground, place them gently. It's all about looking after what is an expensive bit of kit.
What about if you’re fishing a line at top 2 and2?
Either an extra roller or just place the two sections behind you, putting your rod bag or something to keep it off the ground can help.
What do you rest the unconnected pole section that you put into the large right sock onto Jamie?
Just on the first roller.
@@winningwaysbasics but I thought the 1st roller was 2 .5 sections away?
Great little video Jamie,
What about if using at 14.5 and 16m?
As he said at 2:36 in the video
@@ianowens7519 he didn't mention 14.5 or 16m ,
He said 14

Use 3 rollers

Preston do cheap ones, Bobco sell them for a couple of quid and come in different sizes
Browning does some nice EVA ones too
I just can't use my legs I'm too tall they stick up too far

@Winning Ways Basics yeah not sure if I can even add bits but the height adjusting don't work as the foot plate goes up with it
SQUIRREL! 🤣
Any hairline cracks or strengthening needed , try super glue nd bicarbonate of soda and sand to smooth 😜
