I still use fiberglass shafts and I by my points, but make my own rodes and reals. I tend to make a small stiff pole from the rest of the rod. It helps when you get big fish (like alligator gar or big carp). If you shoot a big fish and dont have a pole attached the fish will jerk you all over.


Be carful shooting bluegills, make sure it is legal in your parts. Around here it is illegal to shoot game fish.
