A telescopic pole collapses down for transport and storage, extending via nested sections when needed. Unlike casting rods, poles are fished vertically or near-vertically and excel at float fishing and precision placement in tight swims. The Siesta's 6-metre reach allows anglers to cover productive areas at range without a reel.
The Siesta is ideal for beginner and intermediate anglers learning float-fishing techniques, and for experienced coarse anglers seeking a dependable, lightweight workhorse for match, stick, and waggler fishing. Its moderate-fast action suits a wide variety of presentations and species.
The Siesta is particularly well-suited for freshwater coarse fish: carp (up to medium sizes), bream, roach, rudd, ide, tench, and crucian carp. The fiberglass blank and moderate-fast action provide the sensitivity needed for species like bream while retaining the backbone needed to handle larger carp in the margins.
No. The six-section construction allows the Siesta to behave as a single responsive unit when extended. Fiberglass is inherently durable and forgiving of the expansion cycles that telescopic poles endure. Compared to carbon alternatives, fiberglass will serve you reliably over years of regular use without concern for micro-fractures.
To fish the Siesta, you'll need a reel (match reel, centrepin, or small fixed spool), float (waggler, stick, or match float), monofilament mainline (2-4 lb), float rubbers, a selection of floats and feed, and a keepnet and landing net for safety. No rod bag is required, but a long floatbox or pole tube simplifies transport of your rigged-up setup.
At 6 metres, the Siesta covers most commercial stillwater venues and rivers where coarse fishing happens. Shorter poles (3–4m) suit very tight swims; longer poles (7–8m+) are required for distance work on large lakes but become fatiguing in extended sessions. The 6m length strikes an ideal balance: sufficient reach for most situations yet light and manoeuvrable enough for all-day comfort.

The Abu Garcia Siesta Telescopic Pole brings trusted quality and practical design to freshwater coarse fishing. With its compact, lightweight construction and responsive moderate-fast action, this pole is equally at home with beginners learning float fishing and experienced anglers seeking reliable versatility.
The six-section telescopic design collapses to just 118cm for easy transport, yet extends to a full 6 metres for extended reach across swims. Its fiberglass blank is built to absorb the runs of larger species while maintaining sensitivity for delicate presentations. At 499g, the Siesta remains comfortable during long sessions, reducing fatigue without sacrificing durability.
The moderate-fast action suits the full range of float-fishing techniques—waggler, stick float, stick, and match fishing—making this pole as much at home fishing for roach and bream at distance as it is working tench and carp in the margins. Six low-friction guides and a line clip on the tip section ensure smooth casting and positive line control. The fiberglass construction gives reliable feel without the premium price point of high-modulus carbon.
There is no learning curve with the Siesta. Its balance of strength, sensitivity, and user-friendliness makes it the perfect entry point into pole fishing, while its solid performance keeps experienced match anglers reaching for it trip after trip.
