I'm glad that I ran my ill conceived ideas by OFF before investing time in them. Thanks for the advice!
I suppose that I could find a 15' bamboo pole at my local nursery and strap it to the top of my car like a lance. A lot of people seem to use coat hangers or fence wire as an intermediary between the pole and a very strong leader. I've always wondered what the point of this wire is anyway? Does it add some distance between the bait and the terminal end of the pole?
Combined with your "shock leader" idea and you have an internal shock cord that could hold together the bamboo sections, not unlike the tent shock cord break down poles.. Or how about a telescoping poke pole..
Maybe the concept of what we are referring to as a "hole" is not clear. I have fished in places that have a lot of "holes" between rocks and around the jetty but they are not fish holes. What you want to find is that one spot that goes down where it shouldn't and goes deep. I have fished in "holes" that went down 3-5 feet deeper than anything around it. Have even found a couple that a poke pole wouldn't be long enough to fish at all. Can't explain when these holes even exist but I have had them go from 10-30 feet deep.

i have seen lots of post all over about poke poling but what is it exactly?
