I worked in a bait-n-tackle shop in the '60s and we had a big bundle of long
cane poles for bass, crappie and perch in the Sacramento area.

Later I say telescoping hollow tubular fiberglass poles. These were more
practical for transporting.

I was reading about the use of a cane pole. Thinking of giving it a whirl
next
season. It is quick and easy in weeds (clear pockets) and around docks.
Suppose
to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys,. I was think of trying it on
other
species such as pike, salmon, carp, brookies etc. The read seem to say
that
they are not meant to be used for bigger fish. May look for one at the
spring
fishing show. It would be great for bass in weed beds using soft plastics.
Anybody else use a cane pole?
