Sam's super sensitive pole

[Barnacle Bill]

That is one fine pole. I really like the feel and lightness. However, I am use to telescoping poles and wonder how everyone rigs/unrigs their poles at the end of the day. Do you take everything off the line? or what??

In my big ole boat I have room for storage rod holders down the sides and keep my poles set up, which keeps the lines nice and straight so they go down through the slip-floats real well.

But you can put your hook in the loop just above the handle, separate the two rod pieces, bring the rod tip back to where the hook is and reel up the slack.

Thanks Jerry, I'll try that.

Woudn't hurt to buy or make some Velcro wraps to secure the two sections together when broken down.

I take my long poles apart with the line and jig still atatched fold the tip end to the handle end and slide both pieces into a three foot piece of 1-1/4" pvc pipe. Then just wind up the slack and your rod is protected and does not get tangle with the other rods.

I use an 11' Sams Super Sensitive and really love it. But a word of warning, be careful bending the tip section back to untangle your line, that thing is really easy to break. I've learned the hard way but at least you can order replacement tip section and have them in less than a week.

Good Luck
