Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing awkward margins or far-bank spots. You can place a useful load quietly and accurately where a cast or boat would be awkward.
- Anglers who want controlled baiting at long range. The 15m pole and floating spoon give you a proper alternative to repeated spod work.
Maybe skip if
- Short-session or canal anglers with limited storage. Ten 1.5m sections need room in the holdall and a clear place to assemble them.
- Anglers mainly fishing close in. A catapult, throwing stick or small spod setup will be less faff and better value for simple baiting jobs.
The lowdown
Introducing the Nash Bushwhacker Baiting Pole
A proper long-range baiting tool for carp anglers who want to feed accurately at distance, quietly and with far less faff than a boat or catapult.
- 15m overall length from 10 x 1.5m fibreglass sections.

- Fast-fit spring-button locks, internal lead recess and twin line slots.
Quick verdict
Verdict
The Nash Bushwhacker is a cracking bit of kit when your fish are sat miles out and you need to get bait over them with control. The 15m reach, floating spoon and quiet delivery make it a serious alternative to launching a boat or repeatedly spodding over the top of a wary swim.
It’s a specialist tool rather than an everyday bit of tackle, and storing, carrying and assembling ten sections takes a bit of room. But for long-range margin work, tight spots and accurate baiting, it’s proper useful kit. If the situation calls for it, this can save a session from turning into a blank.

The fibreglass sections, spring-button locks and floating spoon make a practical package for demanding baiting work.
Its 15m length and stated reach up to 45m give it strong long-range potential when the swim allows.
Quiet, accurate bait placement can keep disturbance down and put feed exactly where your rig is fishing.
The fast-fit locks help, but assembling and controlling ten sections still needs space and practice.
It’s good value for anglers who genuinely need a baiting pole, but overkill if most spots are within easy casting range.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Bushwhacker Baiting Pole
There are times on the bank when a normal cast just isn’t the answer. Maybe the fish are tucked under the far margin. Maybe there’s a nasty reedbed between you and the spot. Or perhaps the water is so clear and calm that every spod landing gets the carp doing one. That’s where the Nash Bushwhacker Baiting Pole earns its keep.
This is the 15m version, made from ten fibreglass sections, each measuring 1.5m. Stick the sections together and you’ve got a serious reach tool for precise bait placement. Nash says it can reach distances up to 45m, although the real-world distance will always depend on your swim, bank height and how much room you’ve got to work the pole.
The basic idea is dead simple. Attach the supplied self-floating baiting spoon, load it with bait, and guide it out over the water. No great splash from a spod. No boat whizzing across the lake. Just a controlled delivery to the area you’ve clipped up and fished. For wary carp, that quieter approach can make a proper difference.
The spoon holds approximately 1kg of bait, which is a decent amount for building a spot. You could use it for boilies, pellets, particles or a mix, depending on what your venue and rules allow. It’s particularly handy when you want to put a bed of bait down accurately rather than scattering it all over the place with a poor cast.
A big plus is the spoon’s twin built-in buoyancy. If things get a bit hairy at full extension, the spoon is designed to float rather than disappearing into the depths. That’s not just a nice extra; it makes the whole system less stressful when you’re working a long pole in wind, tow or an awkward swim.
The fast-fit spring-button locks keep the sections joined together without turning assembly into a full-blown faff. You’ll still need a clear strip of bank and a bit of organisation, because ten sections spread out quickly, but the locking system should make putting it together and breaking it down much more straightforward.
There’s also an internal lead recess and twin line slots. Those details give you more control over how the spoon behaves and how your line is managed while you’re guiding it out. For anyone fishing tight to snags, islands or far-bank cover, that control is the whole point. You want the bait on the spot, not drifting off into no-man’s-land.
Of course, this isn’t a tool you’ll reach for every time you’re on the bank. If the fish are five rod lengths out, a catapult or a few accurate casts will be quicker. The Bushwhacker is for those specialist situations where access, accuracy and stealth matter more than keeping the kit cupboard lean.
The black drawstring carry bag is a welcome inclusion, too. It gives the sections and spoon somewhere to live between sessions, although you’ll still want to keep the pole protected and avoid treating it like a broom handle. Fibreglass is practical and suited to this sort of tackle, but a 15m pole still deserves sensible handling.
Overall, the Nash Bushwhacker is a proper problem-solver. It won’t make every baiting job easier, and it certainly isn’t the lightest bit of kit to organise. But when a big lump is patrolling an unreachable margin or a quiet far-bank spot, being able to lower bait in accurately rather than bosh it over the top can be the difference between a bite-time opportunity and another blank.

Our take
The big angle
This isn’t about chucking bait as far as humanly possible. It’s about placing a decent load exactly where you want it, with much less disturbance than a spod or bait boat. That matters when carp are mooching in the margins, tucked under snags or visiting a quiet far-bank spot.
The self-floating spoon is the clever bit. It holds approximately 1kg of bait, then the twin built-in buoyancy helps it come back up if you lose control or need to retrieve it. The internal lead recess and twin line slots give you useful options for guiding the spoon and keeping the presentation tidy.
Closer look
A long pole with a clever floating spoon
The Bushwhacker is built from ten 1.5m fibreglass sections, giving 15m of pole when assembled. Its job is controlled bait delivery, not casting, so the useful feature here is reach and placement rather than raw speed. The fast-fit spring-button locks help keep the sections connected as you work.
At the business end, the self-floating spoon holds approximately 1kg of bait. Twin built-in buoyancy helps it stay afloat, while the internal lead recess and twin line slots give you extra control over the spoon and line. That makes it suited to accurate work around far-bank edges, islands and cover.
Worth knowing. A 15m pole needs room. Before loading the spoon, check for overhead branches, reeds, anglers nearby and anything your line could catch. Lay the sections out neatly and the whole job becomes far less of a faff.
Who it suits
Specialist kit for tricky baiting jobs
This is made for carp anglers who fish waters where a quiet, accurate baiting approach matters. It’s particularly useful when a cast would land too heavily, when a boat isn’t allowed, or when the fish are feeding close to an island or far margin. A 1kg spoon load lets you put a proper amount of bait down in one go.
It can also be handy in the margins. If you’ve got a shallow shelf, reeds or a snaggy corner within reach, lowering bait in can be much neater than firing it over the top. Pair it with a carefully clipped-up rod and a tidy rig, and you’ve got a very controlled way to fish a small, precise spot.
It’s less convincing for casual short-range fishing. Ten sections take up space, and assembling a 15m pole for a spot you could reach with a catapult is just creating extra faff. This is specialist tackle, but specialist tackle can be bob on when the swim demands it.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want to know before buying
It’s the stated maximum reach, but don’t treat that as a promise for every swim. Bank height, wind, water access and your ability to control a fully extended pole all matter. The useful takeaway is that it gives you considerably more reach than ordinary margin baiting.
The spoon is designed to carry approximately 1kg, so it can handle a useful mix of particles, pellets and boilies where venue rules allow. Keep the load sensible and stable, especially if you’re guiding it a long way out or fishing in a crosswind.
Yes. The Bushwhacker comes with a black drawstring carry bag for the sections and spoon. Keep everything together after the session, rinse off any bait residue and store the pole somewhere it won’t get crushed by the rest of your gear.
