cane pole

Basic fishing stick

A cane pole is a simple fishing rod made from a long bamboo or reed stalk, with line tied directly to the tip—no reel involved.

It's the most basic form of fishing equipment, associated with casual fishing from riverbanks and docks: We caught bluegill with nothing but a cane pole and some worms.
