Edge Pole Rigs

Preston Edge Pole Rigs

Preston Edge Pole Rigs are ready-made pole rigs for fishing with larger hook baits in the margins. The high buoyancy of the 2.5 mm hollow antenna supports pellets, sweetcorn, worms, paste and meat, while the fibreglass stem keeps the float stable during a powerful margin presentation.

The float features Preston's strong Dura side eye, and the rig is tied with Reflo Power line and a barbless size 12 XSH-B hook. A compact bulk of Stotz gets the bait down quickly and helps distinguish genuine bites from line bites when carp move close along the bank.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the Edge Pole Rig have a 2.5 mm antenna?
The thick hollow antenna has sufficient buoyancy for larger, heavier hook baits. This keeps a clearly visible section above the surface without unnecessarily overloading the float.

How does the bulk shotting help with margin fishing?
The compact bulk takes the bait quickly to the chosen depth. If the load changes because a fish lifts the bait, the antenna reacts more clearly than with a very spread-out shotting pattern.

What is a line bite and how do I recognise one?
A line bite occurs when a fish bumps into the line or rig without taking the bait. This often causes a short, irregular movement; a genuine bite usually develops more purposefully and continues for longer.

When should I check the Dura side eye?
Check the side eye after contact with a large fish, obstacle or landing net. It is extra strong, but sand, burrs or deformation can still damage the line.
