Recently purchased a B n M Graphite Little Jewel 12 ft telescope pole. Without a doubt this is the best of similar fiberglass poles I have. It had a good strong backbone and is light. I love this thing and will get a couple more and sidelline the heavier figerglass poles for the most part. For all day fishing this is the pole to have because of it's light weight. There may be other manufacturers of similar graphite poles.......I don't know.

Some folks here in the FL Panhandle use ultra-lite rods/reels, but the primary tool is just a telecope pole which most people call a 'brim buster' no matter who manufacture may be.

A preferred technique is to slowly 'slash fish' along a shore line until you find a few. Then hang around the spot and maybe anchor if it's a hot spot.
