Luring with a pole rod
Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:05 pm
I had an idea overcoming hard to reach places where fishes a likely to be hiding or fishing from a place where casting is impossible. This trip, I put together a combination of tackles and put it to test - working a spinner bait using a pole rod. The setup seems pretty effective but the rod is too soft and heavy to make a proper hook set. But I must say it was very fun when the fish hit.

Finally, a peacock bass was landed after several misess.
A video of pole rodding in action, it's worth a few laughs.
I didn't bring a rod and reel on this trip but I did bring along a handline and my stick bait. Interestingly, I was able to 'walk the dog' with the spool, though only half as good or easy as with a rod. Nevertheless, I got a fish with it.
