Yes I do. Secure the line to the pole at least one node back.

Silly thought, but you know not to tie directly to the eye right?

I made the first homemade collapsible canepole  from my bamboo growing in my yard.  The ferrules are no.9 from the Mud Hole @$4.00 each. The eye is a piece of stainless wire forced into the tip of the cane, then treaded and glued.

Yes John...no reel. And the line is traditionally the same length as the pole or maybe a foot longer. This allows easy lobbing and plopping of bobber/jig/bait combos to all that woody, close quarters lairs of the gills, fliers and crappies. 

A great shallow water tool!

I'd like to try that Jim .How much line you using ? No reel right?

Really enjoyed the 10 and 12 ft poles when I fished with Jeffrey Abney in the NC blackwaters in late October. They are versatile tools for close-quarters panfishing and he is indeed an expert with them.

We had a pond on our weekend retreat in SE Ohio, that was only 100 ft. long and 60 ft. wide. Because of the small size I restricted fishing to cane poles only. We had a blast fishing for Bass, Bluegill and Redears this way for 15 years. Now we are on a big lake in SC and have all but forgotten how much fun Canepolen can be.

Love the canepole, Jim. I haven't hauled mine out in a while, though.
