What fish can you catch with a pole rod?
What is a pole rod used for?
A fishing pole is a telescopic, reel-less rod for presenting a light float or rig under the tip. You ship it; you do not cast it.
How is a pole rod different from similar gear?
No reel seat. Not a tenkara fly rod and not a match rod. The float is a pole float, not a waggler.
When should you use a pole rod?
Use it for pole fishing on commercials and canals when you need to drop a bait on a tiny patch of water.
What problems does a pole rod solve?
It puts a tiny bait in a hole of lilies or against a far-bank reed without a lead sailing past it.
