Roach bagging - river fishing with groundbait and pinkies

We join Simon Willsmore on the Old River Nene at March for some live roach bagging action!

I’m sure I’ve got some old Ignesti floats in that shape that we used to use on the canals years ago as they were great to hold back when the cut started running when the locks opened. Looks a lovely venue wish it was a bit nearer to me though. Another great video Joe. Tight Lines Steve Amison

I don't get why useing a pole rod

[@trevoror8668]

I think you are in America and i don't know if match fishing is a thing there. Pole fishing gives a level of presentation you cannot achieve with a rod the control of the terminal tackle i.e. float to hook is unmatched. We do use rods and reels both for feeder fishing and stick and wagler where these methods will out fish or reach out further than a pole. It's looks hack handed to people who have never fished the pole but i can promise in the right place and time it's very hard to beat the pole that's why you will see them used on all local national international and world championships.
