FAQs
Does this pole come with a rig?
No, the NGT Carp Basher is supplied as a pole only, requiring you to attach your own elastic, rigs, and connectors.
Can I use this for silverfish fishing?
While designed for carp, it is versatile enough for silverfish, though it may feel heavier than dedicated speed-fishing poles.
How should I clean the carbon sections?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can scratch the carbon finish.
Is the top 3 section already elasticated?
No, the spare top 3 section comes in its raw state, allowing you to install the specific strength of elastic that suits your fishing style.
How should I store the pole long-term?
Keep it in its cloth bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the carbon.
Troubleshooting
Sections are difficult to separate
Do not force them. Gently twist the sections while pulling, or allow them to cool down, as heat expansion can occasionally cause tighter joints.
Pole sections feel gritty
Wipe the male and female joints thoroughly with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove sand or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pole, carefully align the numbered sections to ensure a secure fit, pushing them together firmly but without excessive force. When breaking down the pole, always pull the sections apart in a straight line to prevent joint damage. Compatibility is standard for most carp-style rigs, though it is recommended to use high-quality elastic suitable for carp fishing to maximize the pole's potential. Care is straightforward: wipe down each carbon section with a damp cloth after every session to remove silt, dirt, and groundbait residue. Always ensure the pole is completely dry before placing it into the provided cloth bag to prevent long-term moisture damage.
