im planning on buying a pole in the next couple of weeks. the pole im hopeing to buy is the shimano technium xta 1300. on the whole it seems a good price and had some decent reviews especially for a first time buyer pole.

obviously there is alot to pole fishing especially when teaching yourself so i will probably be posting a few questions over the next few weeks. i will be grateful if you do your best to answer them plz.

the first questions i would like answering are:

1. regardless of strength do poles take any make elastic?

2. when pole fishing is it best to use a lighter line than waggler fishing even if you are targetting the same size fish? also do you have to buy different lines for poles?
