Ha! Ha! Thoroughly agree about using ground bait first! Dean fishes with the same attitude regarding feed as I do but I tend to ball in to start then small ball each cast. As Dean says what the Italians brought over originally were telescopic 6m and 7m rods not English take-a-parts! Also the thicker blanks of true Bolognese telescopic rods goad you into holding the rod with two hands not really because they are heavier but because their extra length only needs a short sharp push at the butt section to set the hook on the strike as the line is picked up at super fast speed! Also the modern ones have more eyes toward the top section these days so the sticking line is no longer a problem in the rain. The English seam to shy away from anything over 6m but in Italy 7/8m is the norm especially on the deeper rivers. I don't fish the feeder ever! I'm an out and out float angler who's been fishing telescopic for the last 30 years. I will always fish the Bolognese even on the far bank- you can do this with a 7m Bolo with ease! All my rods are either Bolognese or shorter telescopics: what they call "telematch" rods over in Italy!

Great video Dean!The Bolo really works on the Lower Shannon too and often Ive used a 7m rod and trotted a big sliding Bolo over my feeder line in 25ft+ of depth and picked up fish where the feeder didnt tempt a knock.Very enjoyable method.

Dean, did the float have a rubber on the tip, or was it just attached on the stem, thanks your old Postie mate, the Little One not Marcy.

Why use a keep net?

😂😂

[@davetaylor8858]

"Doesn't have to be expensive" ? Two pints of maggots and three or four bags of groundbait isn't cheap !!

[@AJRichards925]

Hi Dave, these videos are all about what you can do. You could easily replace two the bags of ground-bait with brown crumb and use bread instead. There is always a way round it,
