Need Help rigging my new cane pole.

Hey everyone I just got a 16 foot telescoping wonderpole! I dont have any prior experience with a cane pole. Ive heard different ways on how to tie the line to it. Could you guys give me some suggestions? thanks!

    What have you heard?

    I always add a drop of super glue to the eye, so it dribbles down into the socket. This helps secure it.

      Just curious, how many segments does this pole have?

        Welcome to the world of fixed line fishing. The Shakespeare  Wonderpole is a good choice but a 16 foot pole is going to give you a bit of a workout  because of the weight distribution. Just tie the line to tip with a cinch knot and you will be fine. The great thing about poles is that you can go as light or as heavy as you want with the line. Poles can also be used to  dap flies. You may also want to look at either the 10 or 12 foot Wonderpole. The weight on the 10 foot model is just about half of the 16 foot.
