Cane Pole Fishin

Down south their called a brim rod. Any where from 10 to 14 feet long. Great for gills and crappie. And for kids whom aren't that good at casting.. I'd use 6 to 8 lbs. test. 10 and 12 is a little too heavy.

Noodle rods is what I call em', got 4 or 5 of them and they are a blast for crappie and gills when they move shallow. Heres a little tip.... Tie on your main line, your float, sinker and barrel swivel. Then tie your leader with jig or hook with a lighter test. This way if you hang up, you will only lose your leader, and not have to rig up the whole pole, its gets to be a chore to tie the whole rig back up. If you like to panfish, you will fall in love with this method

Very good tip! I never thought of using the swivel. Thanks for the info.
