That's what you'll have F/L once you start using one...It's all about the presentation they offer, whereby you can used a lightish rig & have great control over it...
You can 'twitch it, lift it, tuck it into nooks & crannies that you'd struggle to reach via Rod n' Line...

Poles (Correctly balanced) to your target species, can also land fish quicker, than by conventional methods...

They are not the be-all & end all & have their limitations... (Try fishing full length in high-winds or holding one when it's bitter-cold)...
But they are now an essential piece of armoury & very enjoyable to use...
For commercial pools (Which is where I suggest you start) you only need to invest in a few floats to kick you off KC's do a good range, as do Preston & they're pretty common in most anglers kit...Around 4x12's, 4X14's & 4x16's'll cover most Carp Puddles...
It's all about depth or conditions (Wind again) stepping up to a heavier float if conditions go downhill...
Another reason to step-up is if the fish were 'avin'it' on the deck & you wanted to get your baited hook down faster via a 'bulk'...
