I didn't think these were still being produced but I found out differently today. I stopped at a convenience store near me to buy a bread. Since I don't visit this store often I decided to look around. While doing so I saw the poles. Checked out the price and it was $5.00 for the whole hook, line and sinker. I bought two of them before they disappeared on me again. These poles were my favorite to fish perch in their favorite hangouts near cypress knees. No bait was needed, the shininess of the hook would attract them to hook them. Memories!  |

Exactly what I learned to fish with as a kid. Still use myself.

What I started with as well while wearing short pants and I still use them under certain conditions for example in a boat where the crappie are under the branches of a tree or on the other side of a log or when you need to lift the bait/fish straight up or present straight down rather than pulling to you but I carry this style in the boat rather than a 12'+ pole img.td-imgs.com/images/72/81/257281_N000003_QHF-257281_600x600.jpg |

I was just talking about the cane pole the other day, woodyz hit the nail on the head.it's all about bait placment. Doesn't matter what kind of bait your using or if you have the latest in hi tech gear. Nope not even paying 15 bucks for that specialized photo finished minnow imitator. I learned a long time ago if you want to catch fish, you must fish where the fish are. I've taken the time to become a master caster and dead on when hitting that small opening between the trees. Or skipping a plastic worm under logs and low hanging brush.Being able to cast a moderen fishing pole in any position,overhead, underhand,left or right handed and the one i use most...side arm. Cane poles can do all that and a little more because they have the reach. Around here it was known as a crappie pole but you can pert near catch any kind of fish on a cane pole. Nice find woodyz..did it have a makers name?

Nice find woodyz..did it have a makers name? OT this is the one I posted the thread about. The link leads to the company South-Bend. www.south-bend.com/We broke many of these hooking garfish. They're big, heavy and put up a fight so our "cane" poles didn't have a fightin' chance.  |
