2024 MAP Pole Championships Final with Team FTF
Big Bird and Grant Merrett of 'Team FTF' go in search of the MAP UK Pole Championship Title at Tunnel Barn Farm.

We follow 'The Bagger' Grant Merrett from draw, to weigh in and get an insight into how a sponsored Angler approaches a peg they've never fished before, and a lake they've only ever fished twice!
Hope you enjoy. BB

But how good are they with odour, compared to say merino?
One of my goals after shoulder surgery is to take up fishing, I’m glad I came across this video as other seasoned anglers have mentioned a whip to me (never heard of this before!) so looks like a good bit of kit to start. Great video - subscribed 😊
how easy are spare sections to get ?
Was the reel any good? I've come across mixed opinions of it online.
@@TetrarchTD it’s not bad at all for the money buddy 👍🏻 BB
@FirstTimeFishing Thanks I think I'll get one 👍
The map 1001 comes pre- bushed with a 4.8mm bush
Does this pole come Pre-elasticated, and if so, what strengths??
Will this reel work for pike fishing? In the 4000-A size? My rod is 30-130G.
Bought one and changed the wheels to air filled ones ,,,😅and a front basket
Brilliant. I
Great insight, no panicking, great to watch
Great video keep up the good work but get someone a bit more happier fishing next time he’s proper doom and gloom 😂
Hi mate I'm re entering fishing having not fished for many years . Please advise margin pole or whip
Well fished grant
Great video loved way spoke about decissions etc
Great video, well done Grant on a difficult day. Like the Milo kit too. Well filmed BB.
Great video chaps- really insightful 😊
Is the line clip a round profile for the line to wrap around or is it just the bit you can see that looks round ish.
Great video keep it up mate
How,deep was it near the reeds what weight float did he use & how much does he over shot it by ? PS its been glorious sunshine up here in Lancashire 🌞 🎣
@@Northstar-Media he had 3 feet depth, and kept adjusting the depth he fished at from 1-2ft. 0.1g float. Overshotted so that it just starts to sink at rest 👍🏻 BB
Great video very good keep these videos going please
Does it have a drainage hole for when it rains? 🤔
@@34136TS yes it does buddy 👍🏻 BB
Desperately waiting for the guru n gauge poles and superirum x 75 range poles to be reviewed.
Does it take the Octbox 25. As my Octbox trolly is not great, the powered one.
map tks power kits are pre bushed. best margin pole for the money .. Middy xtreme M3 .. 11.5 metres or 13 metres. 30 elastic rating strongest in the world, you can put tks map top kits on it also.
Your landing net is overkill for cheap fishing. it's as long as the whip..
@@KeithPearson-w3q you’re absolutely right Keith… great comment 👍🏻 BB
Thanks for the stunning explanation! Now it's all clear to me, thanks to You!!
Hello big bird..liked your review on the map keep net bar..I have one when I pull the extension bar out the map attachments for the keep nets doesn't fit on the narrower bar..or am I missing something
Thanks for the review, very helpful. New to fishing, been going a few months now, and looking for a riddle for maggots and down the line probably ground bait so this seemed a fair choice, but a couple newbie questions if that's cool? 1. Comments are saying it IS handy, as you said, but possibly a bit pricey for a riddle/set (although I get its an all in one)? Anything equivalent or better off for a beginner so they don't just blindly buy incorrectly? 2. Are you sponsored/given props by any brands at all, or are your reviews independent? Just so I know if you're likely to give credit to one more than another... A LOT of fishing guides are heavily branded, if you get me? (again, just trying to stay objective for us newbies who don't know better at this point when buying) Thanks for the channel though, subscribed, love the energy. 👍
Hi Andy bloody hell how your channel as grown mate sorry I haven’t been there supporting you like I did when you first started had a lot of personal issues going on but looking forward to catching up with all your vlogs. Great to see your doing so well.
Hi Andy I have one of these I see you still have a small gap between your try and box when you use it with the Preston try & box there is no gap. I will send you a photo when I am on the bank next Regards Jim 😊
Great review ! Your enthusiasm is infectious great stuff !
As a chair fisherman it's a really handy piece of kit for a pot of wafters bander spare hooklinks and various other bits and pieces that always are at hand. Had to convert it to the right side of my chair as a left handed fisherman but was simple to do 😊
Got one very good 😊😊😊
Another great review 😊 I actually bought one for my inception station slightly disappointed as there still a big enough gap between my box and preston sidetray for stuff to escape through and it could also have been slightly longer. 😊
Got one and love it, Des uses it slightly different for holding bait. Genius!
I have one of these bb I keep my plummets ,disgorger, bait bander,mobile phone etc in it. I think I mentioned to you before I don't use the cup holder bit as it is a bit small. I've had mine over a month or so nw and it is a good piece of kit , as I always am hunting about for my bits on my side tray. My only complaint is it does get covered in maggot dust, loose groundbait etc So I tend to put a towel over it. This is my problem being a messy angler, I keep it on there all the time with my side tray supports, I paid out only £15 when I bought it. Cant remember the amount of times my disgorger or plummet had been dropped through that gap. Preston havevreally thought about it. I give it a 👍
Great video thanks !
Very nice
Stuart Wilson is my uncle
Big Bird man this info is pretty much irrelevant - look, to work out the elastic you NEED and balance your tackle, you HAVE to test the breaking strain of every elastic you ever use...! Nobody does it but EVERYBODY should. The companies dont list the breaking strain but should so you have to do it yourself. Now the problem which i see all the time on the bank is that people have absolutely NO idea what the breaking strain of their elastic is, so they put an 0.19 hook length with a 13 elastic get snagged and of course the elastic breaks first and they lose it all. BIG BIRD do a video and graph that shows EVERY one of these elastics that you have listed and their breaking strain and your video will be PRICELESS.....! Understand however and BE WARNED that damaged/used elastic will NOT have the same breaking strain as new elastic...!
@@julien1 haha, Julian, you make a great point… you really do… but I might have to sub-contract that video out to you! This one took me long enough! Plus, I might need to hire a tractor to find the breaking strain of some of the 20+ elastics 🤦🏻♂️ BB
@@FirstTimeFishing LOLOL its all yours buddy ...! Here is the tantalising temptation for you - it will be a go to video for years ... hits hits hits ...! Maybe do two elastic s a month .. here is how i do it .. I have a set of digital scales and a plastic bag ... a small piece of elastic one end tied to bag one with a loop for the scales hook. I then add household items to the bag like cans etc where there is a weight on the side and keep going until snapsy ... then i know and my hook length will always be below this break point. I kinda guess it once Ive tested an elastic - 18 to 20 will lift around 8lbs to 9lbs deadweight before snapping so an 0.19 hook length is fine. seeing as though I fish paste this is pretty much all i need. I will use an 0.17 most of the time anyway so good for 15 to 20. laccy.
Great video. I'm considering buying this whip. What's the biggest fish you've landed on this? Cheers
