One more thing, pole fishing is pretty sophisticated these days. Check out European match fishing. The poles they use are up to 30 ft long and can be taken down to facilitate removing a fish. They are carbon fiber and can set you back 2-300 Pounds which would be around 3 to 500 dollars, not cheap. So don't put modern "fishing poles" in the same category with the old cane pole of yester year !!! I have several telescoping poles for panfishing, 18-25 ft long that set me back about $50.00 each. Give me a long reach over the cover !!
