My Homemade Fiberglass Diddy Poles

[captain belly]

Killing the cats on these fiberglass bank poles. I thought I'd share how I make them (the way I attach them is a bit unique). I do a quick release line on mine that I think is easier to hang and take off while in the current of a big river. Anyway..... hope someone enjoys this. I set a bunch out tonight and will be getting up early to check'em. Got some trotlines out as well. Found a nice 40 foot hole below a wing dike tonight! Can't wait til morning!

Here's the video:

Cool ,  so really new and unique  huh. Sorry to be sarcastic but it's not rocket science.

Do you have to mark these with your ID ?

Interesting tutorial. Not rocket fuel mathematics, but this is a fishing forum and if I wanted to discuss (or even cuss) rockets, I would be on a space forum.

Thanks

Thanks for posting your tutorial. Can't wait to see some fish photos.

I have seen a lot of these rigged with only a string going through the hole.  The string over time will fray and bust.  The hog ring with the swivel is definitely unique.  It should save you from having to restring, or worse yet......  lose a big catfish.    As far as I know, this is an original thought and I thought I'd share it to help others.

Yes,  I write my conservation number all over the rod with a permanent marker.

Big fish don’t pull the pole out of the mud?

Leave the guy alone.  You don't know what the mud/clay is like where he fishes!    I'm sure he's bright enough to know when he shoves it in the ground whether it is stuck in there good enough or not.  

Why do you always gotta pick on everybody?  Just Pick-pick-pick, all the time.  If I had one of those poles I'd shove it up your mudhole and we'd see how big of a whisker-fish it'd take to pull it out.

Wow. What the hell? The guy was trying to help someone out that could use the help. If it' not helping you - move on. You don' have to be a jackazz.

I was being serious, not pick pick picking. 

Layoff, moderator want a be.
