I'm a big fan of pole fishing, my favorite being a 12-14' fiberglass telescopic pole. I have been doing a lot of fishing with it this season and I've been getting really good results, but the problem is my line. So far I've been using 10# SpiderWire braided line but it doesn't seem to do real good with the natural abrasion caused by pole fishing. Plus I find it difficult to tie my knots with it for some reason. Always seems like it wants to fray up on me, many times the hook will just break off right at the knot. So what do you guys use?
Here's a video of my favorite combo, a 12' pole set up with a pan fish hook and bobber and a hand reel set up with heavy line with a lighter leader fishing on the bottom. Catch bait and maybe a few keepers with the pole, transfer to the hand reel and catch the bigger ones. All the tackle I had out there could be bought for under $20, it's a very efficient method of fishing.
