Step 5Rigging the Pole 4
We complete the pole by attaching the hook. Select a small hook approximately the size shown. Hook size is determined by the size of the fish you expect to catch and we will be mainly fishing for panfish such as bluegills. If you bought an assortment of hooks as suggested, you should have a supply that will last you for years.
Attach the hook to the end of the line using a palomar knot as shown.
This completes the rigging of the pole. If you rigged the pole before leaving the house, you can now break down the pole by separating the two bamboo pole halves, wind the line around the two poles held together and wrap a quick turn or two of any kind of tape around each end. Make sure you cover the hook with the tape for safety sake. You should pack the pole the same way after you are done fishing and are ready to store the pole for the next time.
