First of all, in my opinion, a 10-footer's too short...when you get your next one, make it at least 13 foot...better action...secondly,what I did to customize mine was to glue the large eyes from several trailer hooks that I snipped off to the sectional joints...they act as guides for the line...thirdly, I attached an el cheapo reel with about 150 yards of 6-lb test line below the line clips...rigged as you said, you'll have a pole that can be fished at any depth...spray paint the tip blaze orange for seeing those "litebites"..or use blaze orange duct tape like hunters use.....hope this helps...good luck to ya....
