Zero,
Do you know what a cane pole is? Its the tradition Bayou fishing rig of poor people in America. It consists of a piece of bamboo about 14 feet long with a piece of monofiliment tied to the end such that the hook may be hooked into the bottom of the pole. You use a bobber and a worm.
Excellent system. So you have a light telescoping cane pole.
Good luck, tell us how it works.
