If your new to pole fishing you have got it right by starting at about 10 mtr's in length. Personally i would fish a bait that is going to stay on the hook well because if your new to pole fishing your rig is going to get bashed about when shipping out and so is your bait i have found that polony meat, pepperoni, maggots and the new Bag'em Baits smoothskin pellets or sweetcorn to be pretty tough baits for this kind of work. But if you have a favourate bait which is soft that you want to use buy a cad pot from preston and remove the funnel then put your hookbait along with some loose feed in it and ship your pole out to the desired area and turn the pole until your hookbait and loose feed comes out this way your hookbait should be sitting in the middle of your loosefeed anymore info needed just ask
