What is Understanding Setting and Punting Poles about?
A setting pole, also known as a quant or barge pole, is a tool used to propel and steer boats by pushing against the riverbed or bank. Typically made of resilient wood or hollow metal, these poles can vary in length and are designed to float, with metal caps to enhance durability. The technique of using a setting pole has historical significance, especially in regions like the American West and the Norfolk Broads, where it has been a traditional method of navigating shallow waters.
