fishpoles

Casting rod equipment

Fishpoles is the plural of fishpole, a long rod used for fishing—typically a simple pole with line attached, distinguished from more elaborate fishing rods with reels.

The term is informal and regional, more common in rural American speech: We cut fishpoles from the willow trees by the creek.
