cane pole

Hi gang!

I know it's OT, but you may want to check this out:
http://www.coarsefish.net/pole.htm
It describes the pole fishing technique. I'm sure there are better sources,
but that's what I ran into.
If the equipment wasn't soooo expensive, I would try it for bass fishing ...

Cheers,
Nikolay

"Jiggerpoling" eh? I think the old men in East Texas called it "Pole Dapping"
or something like that. My guess is that the technique has different names in
different parts of the country. One of these days, I may try Jiggerpoling out
of my kayak. I'll probably turn over trying to get a fish in, but guess
that'll be part of the fun.

I believe the line should be as long as the pole (15-20 ft). Then you can swing
the end of the line back to your hand for adjustments etc or landing a fish. I
think they use them for crappies too.

The only thing about fishing with a rig like that you may look like a geek.
Also you would be barraged with questions from passerbys

I fished a cane pole as a kid. You can fish atleast 5 feet more line than
the length of the pole.

You do it it just like flipping where you holda loop of line out away from
the pole with your other hand.
