what length pole on wading in the trees?

I want an honest report Saturday afternoon on how prepared you are. Without aid of a fourwheeler or a boat you better travel lite. If you wade for two hours solid your legs will be tired. Have fun, thats the main thing, too if you find some fish stay rite there with em. Had a freind murder em over there last year and they came out of 2 holes so once you find some fesh hang tite and catch em. Dont forget what Torch told ya, wade into the wind, some of the best wading advice ever given.

Hey DD.. Used to fish Tunica a bunch with 11' rod and in those trees a buddy showed me a handy Lil automatic reel... Martin made em... Great Lil tool when you under a bunch of willow limbs.. Saves a lot of time fishing yo jig out the tree when you set the hook

Tman. Remember the 10 foot rear seat cork handle b n m i got at big buck when they were closing?. Thats what i got rigged up with some freshly painted n cured 1/8 oz red sickle jigs. Painted 15 in orange this evening

DD it dont matter how long, because you will always want it a couple inches longer( that is NOT what she said) to hit that top a little out of reach. Also you want a pole that is balanced. What I mean by balanced is your hand needs to be the fulcrum of the lever. It helps me fish longer because I am short and have to hold the rod between elbow and shoulder height for most fishable water.
I have never heard of the wax job, but it makes sense and I plan on trying it.

I agree with fishing the wind but some times its more important to watch current direction if you fishing ditches and creeks. As you walk you will be kicking up debris and the current will carry it ahead of you if you not careful. It will spook your fish.

I use a 10 ft pole wading.

I tried the wax job one time. Hurt like the dickens hehe
