14 Foot Telescoping Fishing Pole?

[Jax Riot]

So I am by no means a pro fisherman, but I have been fishing for years with Panfishing being my favorite.

Ive seen and used all kinds of poles. Bream Poles, Crappie Poles, Teloscoping Poles, Cane Poles ect.

But I have never seen a 14 foot Telescoping pole with a Reel like in this game.

The longest Telescoping Pole with a Reel that I have seen is 6 1/2 feet and I think Ive seen a 7 foot.

The Telescoping Poles that I have seen that are 10 feet or longer for Freshwater/Panfishing dont have any attatchments for Reels.

After playing this game and seeing those kinds of poles, I hit the web trying to find those kinds of poles, but I cant find any.

So are those 14 foot (and longer) Telescoping Poles with Reels unique to this game or have I just been looking in the wrong places?

irl there called bolonese (bolo in short) rods used in uk a little and europe https://www.waveinn.com/nautical-fishing/daiwa-sensor-bolo/136245119/p?utm_source=google_products&utm_medium=merchant&id_producte=4033635&country=uk&gclid=CJeozsLFk9ICFUa6GwodzOAMSg&gclsrc=aw.ds

not something you would typically find in the US or Canadian Markets that I am aware of.
Actually I am wrong 14" telescopics are readily available in the US as well.

That 14 Foot Tele is actually a multi purpose rod, however the extra feature is not added yet. which is Pole Vaulting At Lone Star. (Fun for the whole family) kinda thing. Hopefully they'll add this soon!

Thank you all for your replies.

Now that I know that they are called bolognese fishing rods, I find them easily.

Seems odd that this game is set in the US but yet the beginner fishing gear is something found mostly in Europe and hardly seen in the US.

Ive seen videos of how people fish over seas and they seem to like very long poles like the Bolognese, and those extremely long poles that are something like 30 feet long and they have to sit in a chair just to hold. I think they call it Pole Fishing.

It looks interesting, but I always wondered why they fished like that.

Are there Bans on Boats over there so they have to get the longest poles they can find to reach those places?

You are preciely right about that.

pole fishing is mainly used for match fishing the reason they use them is for precision so they can fish the exact same spot they range from as little as £200 upto over £3000. the float is usualy only about 1 foot from the tip of the pole there used in conjunction with ground bait so that you can constantly add a little at a time keeping the fish in your area.
as for them using them as beginner gear i have no clue lol the game is atm only usa but its called fishing planet so hopfully they will add the rest of the world over time.,i hope sooner rather than latter cos im getting board shztless of catching bass,i want to catch some nice barbel and tench and chubb ect :D
boat fishing isnt as popular over here as it is in america a lot of our pools are a lot smaller but on some of the rivers/lakes boats are used mainly for fly fishing and lure fishing thou

Apart from what 'New_Rod' said, pole fishing is a lot easier for bait presentation and bringing out lots of the really small fish when the going is tough or in a competition. They don't use reels because the last 2 sections of the pole contains a length of elastic, used to 'play' the fish while shipping the pole behind you and detaching one section at a time.
A small bait cup can be clipped onto the end of the pole which ensures small amounts of bait go into the exact spot you're fishing, time after time. It takes skill, such as, my bait usually bounces out of the pot as I'm adding sections and shipping out. Usually only 3 maggots left in it at the end! lol.

Americans are not as patient as we Brit's and Euro's, they feel they have to be doing something all the time for fishing to be "fun", whereas we will sit for hours/days/weeks just to catch one specimen fish.

for panfish irl i either use a normal spinning setup or take one of my baitcaster of and put a zebco 33 on,

if they really wanted to give it a "beginner" feel, give us a cane pole.

As a beginner, I used a 5 foot crap pole with a tiny little spinning reel at 3 years old. I feel like beginners wouldn't even consider using a match OR a telescopic pole.

The reason they added them was for variety though.

I think we should be able to match any spinning gear with floating - period.

i started witha 5'6" medium ugly stick and a zebco.

Got to love the Zebco 33 and an ugly stick LOL.

theres the difference between europe and america we in europe have far less preditory fish so most will start off with a float or ledger setup and progress on to lure fishing once we have the basics mastered becouse preditor fishing here is verry rarely a fish a chuck where as it seems in america a lot of the fish are preditors and cought quiet regular.
i spent a good 20 years of my life fishing for big carp and wouldnt worrie if i spent the whole weekend and didnt catch 1 fish it would make catching the next 30lber an acievement :D
i feel the same now about my pike fishing i enjoy walking the bank chucking a lure and if i get a fish thats a bonus lol but i know not every 1 is that patient
