Like or Love It? Many women claim to “love to fish” and that may be true, but the real question is do you have a passion for it? Are you able to go a week fishing everyday without catching anything and still want to go out the next day? Do you have the patience to wait for a fish without getting tired, or annoyed? Are you able to endure the blistering heat, shivering cold, or the darkness at night when you can’t even see your own hand in front of you? Passion isn’t about what you catch, or how big it is.

I have to admit, I’m a stake-out pole guy. I’ve used one for years and found that, in most cases, they’re pretty handy. I particularly use them when chasing redfish in the salt flats, but they have a place in my arsenal of freshwater weapons, too.
