I’ve had several people try to explain the difference. Need some of y’all opinions. I can’t figure out the difference.

All the same to me!
one pole is single poll n!
Regardless if you casting ,jigging,shooting etc !
What if you troll with one rod? What do you call that?
To me, it’s pretty straightforward: “casting” means I’m casting a bait over a horizontal distance. IMO, if you’re not doing that, you’re not “casting”, regardless of how many rods you’re using.
What I read into what people are saying when they refer to "single poling" is they're not Spider Rigging, Pushing, Pulling, or Longline Trolling with multiple rods ... sort of "distinguishing" themselves as being more "sporting" than the people that do use multiple rods at the same time. Then there's the one's that "two pole" fish, one rod in each hand (usually vertical jigging).
In any event ... all these descriptions are simply a way to distinguish between fishing methods & presentations.
Not an issue here in Minnesota, all you get is one line and one lure except on the ice and then you get two lures whether both on one line or on two lines is optional.
My reason for asking a prominent fisherman in our area has been saying catching them single poling and casting. One trip he said all caught single pole and none caught casting. I always just thought using one pole no matter what technique was single poling.

In that case, I believe what he's differentiating between is casting vs vertical jigging. :twocentsQuote:

They're basically using the terminology that Bass anglers have used for decades in describing how they "flip" their baits, rather than actually "cast" them.
Thank you sir. That makes sense.Quote:

I have always heard that called PitchingQuote:

I suppose one could refer to what my buddies & I are doing as either one ... but it's more closely associated with the Flipping technique because we're not holding the baits in our hands before launching it forward. We are pulling out line with the off hand, but leaving the bail open ... for extra distance, when needed, and to allow the baits to fall on slack line when necessary. So, what we're doing is not "exactly" Flipping, in the Bass fishing sense, but just a borrowed terminology for a similar technique.
Got a chance to go with the guy I was referring to Saturday. So he calls single poling just dropping a jig beside structure straight down.

I call that “vertical jigging” (or “vertical casting”, to borrow CrappiePappy’s term.)Quote:

Oregon pretty much the same. But for extra money you can get a permit to fish two rods. I've never done that. Those spider rig's make me wonder. What if you go through a school and get hit on every line at the same time? What to do?
:Rofl ... that's when the fun begins !! (and very often when a lot of line cutting & re-rigging begins, too :Doh:) And then there's those times when a Striper, Hybrid Striper, White Bass, Black Bass, or a Catfish (or two or three of any of them) are what's hitting your baits, other than or in conjunction with the Crappie ... and the "chinese fire drill" is in full swing :bash :biggrinQuote:
