Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I use the telescoping Frabill in my boat. It comes in handy when stuck in a rock, a stump, or even if you over shoot a shoreline cast several feet up in a tree. This thing has saved me dozens of baits over the years. |

Location: Kentucky | I use the Frabill also for those same reasons. It seems easier to use than some other styles when I'm by myself. I only wish the coil at the business end was more stout. |

Location: Wauwatosa, Wisconsin | I would think the telescoping rod type might have limitations in terms of depth. How long does it get? But I DO like the tree aspect of it...the chain saw takes up so much room in my boat and my fishing partner hates when I keep firing it up!

Location: Ogden, Ut | I use the telescoping Frabill too, but depth (or height)  might be a limiting factor. I believe they telescope to 15'.
They also make a passable push-pole for shallow landings; but one must be a bit careful with them when using them for that task as they aren't totally indestructable...

| I use a paint roller on a long extension handle and have a weighted old net bag attached to a 50' rope for the down deep snags. (also tucks away into a very small space) |
