Diamond Pole Rigs

The Preston Diamond Pole Rigs are ready-to-use Des Shipp Commercial rigs for pole fishing for carp and F1s. They are constructed using high-quality Preston components and are particularly suited to larger baits and controlled presentation on a short line.

The Diamond float combines a 2 mm hollow bristle with a fibreglass stem. The reinforced Dura side eye increases durability without affecting the float's balance. A positive bulk with dropper shot allows the bait to sink to the bottom in a controlled manner during the final stage.
