Ive never seen these poles - ive seen them advertised in catalogues but never seen them used - i wanna see one just to see how they work.........
I always use rods, or handlines in a boat.....

first time squid fishing this weekend, i was wondering what wight rods you would need?
ive got a vast veriety from ultra light bream gear to stong surf gear for gummies.
what size rids and what lines size to use?

For casting prawn style jigs from piers I like a light, long rod paired with a threadline with 6-10lb mono.
For baited jigs a heavier outfit, 10-12 lb mono.
Longer rods help absorb the 'pumping' of hooked squid, and also help lifting up on high piers!

All my rods are done in 15lb mono - i just use my river rods - no really specialised rods..........Sometimes bring out my 10ft light surf rod for extra casting distance when using tommies!

Mr Es,
"westerly" landbased locations that spring to mind immediately would have to be Queenscliff and Lorne piers.

I used to use a couple of surf rods though have now swithed to the poles, can't beat the price of around $40 no reel required great when used with a float and silver whiting,and the are easy to transport.
Give em a go.
