Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- New pole anglers. It offers proper 8m reach and accurate presentation without making the first step into pole fishing too pricey.
- Match and commercial fishery anglers. The take-apart build suits line control, quick rig changes and fishing accurately over a feed area.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers targeting big carp straight from the off. It isn’t supplied elasticated, and the basic fibreglass build is better suited to controlled, sensible tackle choices.
- Anglers wanting an ultra-light competition pole. A fibreglass pole is likely to feel less refined and more tiring than a higher-end carbon model over a long match.

Introducing the NGT QuickFish Take Apart Pole
A budget-friendly 8m pole for accurate match fishing, with a handy take-apart design and plenty of room to add elastic later.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The NGT QuickFish is a straightforward, affordable pole for getting into accurate float fishing without spending a small fortune. Its eight-section build and 115cm closed length make it fairly manageable on the bank, while the take-apart format gives you useful control when you’re fishing tight lines or shallow margins.
It’s not supplied elasticated, so you’ll need to add that if you’re targeting proper carp or fishing heavier commercial swims. For silverfish, skimmers, small carp and match-style work, though, it looks like a cracking bit of kit for the money. No drama, no daft extras — just a simple pole that gets you fishing.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the NGT QuickFish Take Apart Pole
There’s something properly satisfying about fishing a pole. You can drop a float on a dinner-plate, hold the rig dead still and nick a bite from a spot that’d be awkward to reach with a normal rod. The NGT QuickFish Take Apart Pole is aimed squarely at that kind of fishing. It’s an 8m pole for accurate work, with a simple fibreglass build and a price-conscious attitude.
This isn’t trying to be some fancy, ultra-light competition wand. It’s a practical bit of kit for anglers who want more control than a whip gives them, without chucking a load of quid at a top-end carbon package. For match situations, canals, commercials and close-in work, that basic approach can make a lot of sense.
You get eight sections in total, giving the pole its full 8m length. The sections come apart rather than leaving you with one enormous lump to wrestle around the swim. That’s useful when you’re setting up in a tight peg, moving between swims or trying not to clatter every bush behind you. We’ve all done that dance, mate.
Packed down, it measures 115cm. That’s a decent, manageable length for a pole of this reach and should sit neatly in a holdall or rod sleeve. NGT supplies it with a plastic sleeve with a clip too, which is a small but dead handy touch. It gives the sections somewhere sensible to live instead of rattling about in the van.
The construction is fibreglass, with a blue-and-black finish. Fibreglass generally brings toughness and keeps the price sensible, although it won’t have the featherweight feel of a more expensive carbon pole. That’s the trade-off here. You’re buying useful reach and function rather than shaving every last gram from the package.
The top two sections are telescopic, and the pole has a hollow tip. It isn’t supplied elasticated, so out of the sleeve it’s best thought of as a straightforward unelasticated pole setup. That’ll suit plenty of silverfish and small-fish work, but you’ll want to think carefully before dropping it into a swim full of angry lumps.
The good news is that it can be elasticated if required. That gives you some growing room. You can start with simple float rigs, learn how to plumb up and feed accurately, then have the top end sorted for livelier fish later. Speak to a decent tackle shop before fitting elastic, as the right choice depends on the fish, rig and style of fishing.
On the bank, the QuickFish should come into its own when accuracy matters more than casting distance. You can fish a neat line over loose feed, present close to the far shelf or work the margins with much more precision than a standard rod. Keep the rig balanced, don’t bully fish on unsuitable tackle and it could be a proper useful first pole.
For match anglers on a budget, newcomers wanting to learn the ropes or anyone after a spare 8m pole, this NGT looks like a bob-on option. It’s basic, yes, and there are limits to that. But if your aim is accurate fishing without the faff or eye-watering spend, it covers the essentials rather nicely.

Our take
A sensible first pole for accurate fishing
The QuickFish sits in that useful middle ground between a basic whip and a more specialised competition pole. You get 8m of reach, a take-apart layout and the option to elasticate it later, without jumping straight into serious-money tackle.
That makes it a good shout for newcomers, casual match anglers and anyone wanting a spare pole for margin work. Just remember the hollow tip and unelasticated setup mean you’ll need to choose your rig and target fish sensibly.
What you’re buying
A simple 8m pole with useful control
The QuickFish is an eight-section, 8m fibreglass pole with a 115cm closed length. The take-apart design makes it easier to transport and gives you better control around a busy peg. The top two sections are telescopic, and the hollow tip keeps the setup straightforward.
It comes in blue and black and includes a plastic sleeve with a clip. It isn’t supplied elasticated, so it’s ready for lighter, controlled work rather than instant heavy commercial carp duty.
Worth knowing. The pole can be elasticated if required. Get advice on the right elastic and setup for your target fish rather than simply fitting the heaviest option you can find.
On the bank
Best used for accurate, controlled fishing
This is aimed at match-style fishing where placing a float accurately matters. It should suit silverfish, skimmers, small carp and general commercial work when the rigs are matched to the pole.
It’s also a sensible first step for someone learning to plumb up, feed a line and hold a rig over a chosen spot. The 8m reach gives you plenty to play with, while the compact sections keep transport fairly painless.
If your swim contains big, angry carp, take care. Until it’s correctly elasticated, keep things sensible and avoid trying to boss a lump on tackle that isn’t built for it.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
The pole is 8m long and made from eight fibreglass sections. It packs down to 115cm, so it’s not an awkward monster to carry between the car and the peg.
No elastic is supplied. That keeps the package simple, but you’ll need to add a suitable setup if you want to target stronger fish or use modern elasticated pole tactics.
Worth knowing. Use it as an accurate presentation tool first. Pick a sensible float, plumb the swim carefully and feed little and often. That’s where this type of pole earns its keep.
