I found a few telescoping cane poles in my dad's garage after he died. Most were broken, but there was one 15 footer, and older Mr. Crappie brand I think. I like the simplicity of it. I went out yesterday after work and three fairly decent gills from the bank. I've been building a new boat, and want to try spider rigging.

Can you spider rig with these telescoping poles? The cost effectiveness of these poles is unreal, no moving parts, not much line to deal with, low cost of acquisition.
