need some rod help

I just picked up a couple uncle buck' s crappie poles. They are 12' without the reel holder on them. What im asking is whats the correct way to install the line on these rods? Does the line stay through the end even when its telescoped down? Thanks :confused:

I've still got a few of those. I always run the line thru the eye and then attach it to the pole about an inch or so down with a uni knot. I wrap the line around the pole twice instead of once and then make the knot. That has always worked well for me. When the day is over, just collapse the pole and wrap the line around the 2 keepers. Hope that makes sense.
