fishing poles
Tackle box companions
Fishing poles are long, flexible rods used to cast a line and hook into water for catching fish.
The terms fishing pole and fishing rod are largely interchangeable, though rod sometimes implies a more sophisticated tool with a reel mechanism: He grabbed his fishing pole and headed to the lake.
Fishing poles range from simple cane sticks to high-tech carbon fiber equipment.
