How do you hold your pole?
And before I start this thread - Larry, this is not an invitation to the obvious!
Serious question though, I am right handed and when fishing long pole I would normally sit slightly sidewards to my right and hold the pole using my right arm and elbow - this means when I feed I am using my right hand to hold the pouch of the catapult and the left hand to fill and hold the frame of the catapult...
However I find if I use the catapult the other way round - i.e. right hand on the frame and the pouch pulled back by the left hand I find I can feed far more accurately at long distance like 14M+ .... so recently have been experimenting fishing the other way round - feels very odd but means feeding it alot better....
Which way round do you guys hold the pole and are you right/left handed... any other good tips anyone else has found let me know!
