The DR AS8 Pole Rigs, designed in conjunction with 5x world champion Alan Scotthorne, offer an exceptional combination of stability, versatility, and performance. These pole rigs feature a classic body down shape that makes them ideal for use in commercial waters and slow-moving rivers. Whether you're fishing for coarse species like carp or targeting other species in challenging conditions, the AS8 Pole Rigs deliver precise control and reliable presentation.
The long carbon stem provides excellent stability, ensuring the float remains balanced and sensitive to even the slightest bites. This stability makes the AS8 Pole Rigs perfect for fishing in a variety of water conditions, where precision and reliability are key to success.
Each float in the DR AS8 series comes with four highly visible solid plastic tips, allowing anglers to select the perfect tip color for any given fishing situation. These tips fit seamlessly into a machined plastic sleeve that is securely fixed into the balsa body of the float. This design ensures durability and longevity, even during long fishing sessions. A strong coiled wire eye is glued onto the sleeve, providing extra strength for challenging fishing conditions.
The AS8 Pole Rigs feature in-line olivette bulk rigs, designed for precision and efficient bait presentation. Available in various weight configurations:
-
1.0g with 0.8g In-Line Olivette Bulk Rig and 3 No.10 droppers
