The tent poles are like six parts with elastic in between. The new ones i think.

Yeah, thats the problem with converting tent poles into fishing rods or any other tools. But i did think of actually making a home made cayak with the tent poles i found and wrap it in a tarp of some sort or plastic or even duct tape. But the problem i am facing is actually knowing the flex and tension limit of the tent poles, not that it would be under tension. And i would duct tape the poles together. And if i have to hike or go somewhere, i can always undo the tarp or plastic, fold the tent poles and carry them like it was a tent or shelter. But i am not sure as if it will work. I will try to see how it goes. After all, its a not so serious project which is going to have trial and errors.
