When I first started fishing with my dad, we used fly rods to still fish off the bottom and worms or Mike's Indian Cured Roe. We caught more fish faster than anyone around us. Ya, it was lake fishing for limits, but it was fishing with dad. In the mid to late '50s in the Seattle area, I fished with a bamboo pole about 12' long with a line tied to the end. It worked great for panfish.
Here is a techy question for those interested; What is the difference between a fishing pole and a fishing rod?
A pole has the line tied to the end of it.
A rod has line guides and a reel attached.
Don't know if that's true, but I buy it.
Yup! Bamboo has a fond place in my heart, and always will.
