For you riggers........

[olesilverside]

changed out the old hot water heater and found an old Slater's telescoping 10' rod behind the deep freeze, bet I have had that thing for 15 or 20 years, it is fiberglass and is in 3 slide inside the main handle sections..... went to grizzly's jig and he handles them, and they also come in 12' and 14' and both are telescoping. $25 + sh..... I am not a rigger but been a couple times and what difference would it make if it is fiberglass or graphite?? the times I went we were watching the tips and the line anyway...... sure would cure everyones carrying and storage problem...... may rig my old one up, remeber using it on bank for spawners and laughing at how they would rattle that thing when they would hit hard.... it's all about fishing..... the how is your choice.

fishing is a choice, I thought it was my duty....

I've got three of those in the basement. Those are what I learned on from my first father in law (yep, I've had a few of em) for rigging on Nimrod in Arkansas. They are tough, but heavy.

Monty you could prolly spider rig with those snoopy poles you carry with you all the time! Hehe!

i have a couple in my basement i got from my pop's... can't remember how long ago but i remember when he bought them and said he was gonna start dip'n for crappie! lol, i thought he was nut's! it was prolly at least 15 year's ago. i dug one out a few year's back and held one in one hand and my ozark in the other. think i'll stick with the ozark and put his with some of his other thing's to collect dust

They use a lot of telescoping rods on Reelfoot. I am sure the would work fine.
