I bouth the DVD becouse i'm interested in fishing and i would lik...e to learn fishing with pool.I liked the DVD very much and it was very helpfull.Thank's
I brought this DVD expecting an in d...epth instructional programme,however in my opinion this was not the case.Bob spends an awfull lot of time fishing which is very repetitve untill the last 10 minuites of the DVD where he changes tact and swops from fishing at 14 metres for "tiddlers" to fishing at 12-13 metres for slightly larger fish,after cupping in some pellets.Instructional areas of the DVD are few and far between and dont go into any depth at all and the camera work and general picture quality is poor,this has left me feeling very dissapointed.The DVD covers only the barest of basic techniques,even for me an absolute beginner.What is covered includes...Elasticating a pole(best part of the DVD)....fishing long pole/short line....figure of 8 loop knot....resting the pole on your knee....striking fish....VERY basic feeding technique....shipping in or out....and that believe it or not is pretty much it. Out of the whole DVD i only picked up one tip and that was to pre stretch the pole elastic before tying on your stonfo connector! Which was the best part of the dvd.I do enjoy watching all types of fishing and in places watching "Nuddy" smile and laugh brought some relief to the poor info content! There are lots of things the DVD could have covered but didnt such as using margin poles,elastic ratings to main line diameter,weight of float to depth of water,Different rigs snd types of float when and where to use them,Varied types of pole equipment and accessories etc etc the list is endless.To summarise the DVD is poor(you may have guessed that by now :) and you would do well to look for a more up to date DVD of a longer running time,failing that i have found the internet a MUCH better source of up to date info/tips with alot of web sites now showing video tutorials on pole fishing etc,Also there are many good magazines in print from supermarkets etc which are far more informative than the DVD,Personally it's one i would avoid,Sorry Bob !
it is a very good dv...d and bob nudd is the best pole fisher man to give you tips on pole fishing +++++
