The one thing I really like about a cane pole is that it doesn't spook the fish when one gets caught.
Many times, I only get one or two bluegill if I'm using a fly rod or spinning rod. The others catch on pretty quick.
But, with my cane pole, they are yanked up on the dock before any other fish seem to notice what is happening. On Friday evening I pulled out about 15 bluegill -- and one dumb bass -- in a very short time using this technique.
