I use ultra lite r&r's while searching. If I manage to get on them I anchor and break out my 14 ft fiberglass bream busters. I love it!:D

Yeah I really enjoy cathin them on long pole with micro jigs. Something about that line cutting thru the water back and forth that really gets me.

I use 10 footers when we go to to Reelfoot Lake. The big gills around those Cypress Trees sure put up a fight on the long poles.

I like the graphite long poles. Between the wife and I, we use a 9' 6", 10', 11', and a 12' depending on conditions. They are a good time with a decent size gill.
I happened onto a 13 lb buffalo with a 12' B&M and 4 lb test mono . That kept me busy for a bit.:D Mike

I love fishing the long pole! I have a bunch of 10-13 footers, a 23, a 27, and a very special 48 footer. That last one's length is adjustable, so I usually just fish it at 33 feet.

[Illinoisgiller]

Deathb4disco- Well, you knew someone would ask, so I'll break the suspense. Where in the world did you find a 48' pole???? Does it take a pro arm wrestler to keep the tip up. ha ha ' The only mention of that type of pole was a 50'r used in european match fishing. They said they were pricey+a few bucks extra. ha ha :rolleyes: Mike

[ThrillSeeker]

A 48 footer?!?!?!?!?!? What weight of line do you use w/ that?

[pstone]

How do you get the fish in the boat when you hook it with the 48'r???

Man, thats a long pole!

I didn't know they made them over 20, bet that took some time to master.
